Robert Colaco, the Volunteer National Chairman and Founder of Nationally recognized Citizens For A Better America® with the acronym of CFABA.ORG will speak before the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, June 15, 2004 in support of this resolution.

Where:
Room 381B of the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration.
500 West Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012

When:
Tuesday, June 15, 2004 at 9:30 AM.

In a front page article in the Antelope Valley Press on June 2, 2004 entitled, "Board splits on keeping cross in county seal," which stated: "In closed session, the Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday to negotiate with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) over its threat to sue unless a small cross is removed from the county seal. The actual vote count was not released. But before the five-member panel, which is officially nonpartisan, went into executive session, the discussion was split along Republican-Democratic lines."

Zev Yaroslavsky one of the Democrats said: "I don't personally believe that any religious symbol on any government seal is appropriate."

"I would like to personally thank the some 1,000 people who attended last week's meeting of the County Board of Supervisor's, as reported by the Antelope Valley Press. All but one of those was in support of not caving into the demands of the ACLU. It has been widely reported that the Republican minority voted to keep the seal as it is and the Democrat majority voted to succumb to the anti Christian tactics of the ACLU. I would like to thank the Republican minority on the Board, Supervisors Michael Antonovich and Don Knabe for voting against the Democrat majority of Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, Gloria Molina and Zev Yaroslavsky," said Colaco.

"It is truly sad that the actions of the Board seemed to be based on political party affiliations. I encourage Supervisors Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, Gloria Molina and Zev Yaroslavsky to not just cave into the ACLU's demands to change the County Seal without a vote of the citizens of Los Angeles County," said Robert Colaco. Those that have been outraged by the surrender of Los Angeles County to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) need to attend to encourage the Democrat members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Zev Yaroslavsky, Yvonne Brathwaite Burke and Gloria Molina to be Democratic in their deliberations and put the entire matter on the November 2, 2004 ballot," said Colaco.

"We are extremely disappointed that by all Press Accounts in the Los Angeles Daily News and the Antelope Valley Press, the Democrat majority of Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, Gloria Molina and Zev Yaroslavsky decided to cave into the ACLU's demands to change the County Seal without a vote of the citizens of Los Angeles County," said Robert Colaco.

"We would encourage all those who have been outraged by the decision of Democrat majority to attend and speak in support of Supervisor Michael Antonovich's proposal to put the matter before the voting citizens of LA County, CA. We would especially encourage the Citizens within the district of Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, Gloria Molina and Zev Yaroslavsky to come out and tell their elected representatives that they need to do the right thing and vote Yes on Supervisor Michael Antonovich's proposal," said Colaco.

"I look forward to speaking before the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Antonovich, Burke, Knabe, Molina, and Yaroslavsky, for the three (3) minutes that I am allowed to speak by Board rules," said Colaco.

"We would encourage those not attending the above meeting to watch the meeting televised on Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 10:00 p.m. on Los Angeles television station KLCS and to email the supervisors," said Colaco.
