Join our Grassroots Campaign!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DEAR VOTER: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WARD 28 IS GETTING A NEW MAYOR SO WE NEED A NEW CITY COUNCILOR IN WARD 28 TOO!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bad News: We really have a spending problem and not a revenue problem at Toronto City Hall. The solution is to vote for Raj Rama to stop the waste and mismanagement at Toronto City Hall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Join our Grassroots Campaign and support a ‘Win-Win’ solution by Voting for Raj Rama. The current City Councillor Pam McConnell has been with us for sixteen years! It is really time for a change at Toronto City Hall!&lt;br /&gt;Good News: My Economic Vision/ Strategy includes inviting the Private Sector/ Pension Funds to help solve our Public Housing Crisis by building an additional 600,000 Condos in Toronto in the next 5-10 years, with 10-20 percent being given back to the City for Public Housing Use either in ‘Cash or in Kind’, i.e. under section 37 http://www.toronto.ca/planning/section37.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘Section 37 of the Planning Act permits the City to authorize increases in permitted height and/or density through the zoning bylaw in return for community benefits, provided that there are related Official Plan policies in place’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his discussions with the media, he confirmed this will create significant/ multi-billion dollar Investment, over 150,000 new jobs, clear up the Social Housing waiting list/ huge backlog of 60k (3 Bedroom units) and allow us to fix the Problems at Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) and so much more! How can we work together on this Vision?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Rama has been involved with the Taxpayers Alliance since 2001 and also supports tax fairness, such as: 1) abolishing the vehicle registration tax; 2) abolishing the land transfer tax; 3) reducing the expense budget for both the offices of councillors and the mayor from $53,000 to $30,000 (so we lead by example); 4) ending sole-source bidding; and 5) reducing the size of council from 44 to 22.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BRIEF BACKGROUND/ OBJECTIVES:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• As an Award Winning Entrepreneur He will Create Jobs with the Private Sector, not just in the Public Sector! With the Pan-Am Games here in 2015 he will work for taxpayers best interests! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• As a small business owner/ supplier to the Government, he has over 15 years of Real Government Expertise, gained at the Ontario Government Tourism Marketing Branch (1988-2005), he knows how to get things done in Government both cost effectively and on time! For example, I hope to work with the New Mayor on turning around Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC), as it is a valuable City asset and a public-housing landlord. We need to offer more and get back more, so people can reach their full potential.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• He is the Co-founder of Canadians Against Substance Abuse, so he is credible and understands the Public Safety Issues in Toronto-Centre Ward 28 and more importantly, how to fix them with the other Levels of Government! We need solutions, not more excuses about whose fault it is! On the News Violent Crime is up, not down! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please vote for Raj Rama as he has the skills and ability needed to move our Ward 28 (Toronto-Centre) forward, with our new Mayor! He needs your help to help make our community better. Please volunteer as the Election date is near or give whatever donation of money you can afford, so we can all benefit together by having a better community and also fairer taxation! Thank you for your time &amp;amp; interest in this important Civic Election where your Vote really matters!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLEASE VOTE IN WARD 28 FOR RAJ RAMA FOR CITY COUNCILLOR AND MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE ON OCTOBER 25!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Campaign Info: www.rajrama.ca or email raj@rajrama.ca or www.facebook.com/RajRamaYYZ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To Volunteer or Donate or for anything else related to the Campaign, please call 647 857 8905!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8472391491142947084-7243798552794160530?l=rajrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8472391491142947084/posts/default/7243798552794160530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8472391491142947084/posts/default/7243798552794160530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rajrama.blogspot.com/2010/10/my-economic-vision-strategy-includes.html' title='My Economic Vision/ Strategy includes creating significant/ multi-billion dollar Investment, over 150,000 new jobs, etc.'/><author><name>Raj Rama</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02387699518029958085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FBixSQsxeGo/TD9i8X_DM3I/AAAAAAAAABU/bZP6rwgBAIk/S220/(C)+2010+Raj+Rama.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472391491142947084.post-2075913274008601290</id><published>2010-07-09T00:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-09T00:35:17.408-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Please donate what you can afford if you are a resident of Ontario, Canada only</title><content type='html'>&lt;form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_s-xclick" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input name="hosted_button_id" type="hidden" value="GS44R78F6KS4G" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" border="0" name="submit" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" type="image" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8472391491142947084-2075913274008601290?l=rajrama.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8472391491142947084/posts/default/2075913274008601290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8472391491142947084/posts/default/2075913274008601290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rajrama.blogspot.com/2010/07/please-donate-what-you-can-afford-if.html' title='Please donate what you can afford if you are a resident of Ontario, Canada only'/><author><name>Raj Rama</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02387699518029958085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FBixSQsxeGo/TD9i8X_DM3I/AAAAAAAAABU/bZP6rwgBAIk/S220/(C)+2010+Raj+Rama.jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
