The biggest thing I wanted to highlight in talking to this news company was to highlight the corruption in Oakland's City Hall and the unfair treatment of working class landlords.

There's not a week that goes by without a black landlord calling me for help about having to leave Oakland or loosing their investment property because moratoriums were unjust and cruel. Straight up gentrification by city governments...but because black faces are used as

The biggest issue in the Bay Area is how selective people are about who the real crooks are. Political parties aside, everyone loves those who claim to help the poor and homeless, but in reality, they’re just stealing from them. The Bay Area ain't no better—pimping the poor is

Recall is the power of the voters to remove elected officials before their terms expire. It has been a fundamental part of our governmental system since 1911 and has been used by voters to express their dissatisfaction with their elected representatives.

Oakland's economy is hugely repressed by leadership. If the Mayor resigns and DA Price leaves, the Eastbay's economy will rise big! They are holding back the economy with their lack of help on public safety and basic governance. Failed leadership on all points.

Hey.....Everyone....LISTEN UP! We got more than one crazy politician/leader to recall this year. Don't lose your focus, WE MUST RECALL DA PAMELA PRICE TOO. Thao is running her own self-inflicted campaign to recall herself! LOL Thao just saved OUST a lot of money.
