If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, did it really fall (or something like that...)

I pushed to revamp my blog -- and notify the public, of their Federal victory, regarding free speech/public comment at the L.A. City Council meetings, based on an August 07, 2013 ruling that said council broke law in censorship of public; but apparently, it's not big deal, and not worth mention or feedback or spreading the word. I guess that wraps the outreach tour. Good luck with council on those issues you wanna speak out and be hear on, when you don't even know your rights -- then, let them be taken from you...and you accept and put up with it. Again, none of this worth mentioning, means council can continue breaking law and denying your rights, cause they feel no blow-back from the community (except for Zuma Dogg), but this is the Peoples' victory and that's plural. Bye, and again, good luck with council. I beat em on my issue, easily enough, and in Federal court. So, I guess I have to stop, there, at this point. I hope you enjoy some of my music videos and songs on this blog, from now on. #VoiceOfThePeople=SILENCED. I'll be at Santa Monica State Beach, just north of Venice Beach boardwalk. Look for when sidewalks get smooth=you are in Santa Monica!

FEDERAL RULING on FREE SPEECH at Council Meetings is THE PEOPLES' VICTORY, A RULING FOR ALL PEOPLE of L.A., California & The U.S.A.

WED., AUG. 21, 2013 - ZUMA DOGG ROCKS L.A. CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS -- AS NEVER SEEN/HEARD/ENDURED for GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT! The HISTORIC Public Comment, delivering the news to The People, FEDERAL JUDGE RESTORES REAL FREE SPEECH IN L.A. & U.S.A.
Get Adobe Flash player

Legendary L.A. City Clouncil, political gadfly, Zuma Dogg (http://ZumaDogg.com), returned to chambers, on Tuesday (08-20-13), to read, into the record and for council and The People to be fully aware, that on August 07, 2013, The Honorable Judge Dean Pregerson issued Summary Judgement on Zuma Dogg's "Code of Conduct," lawsuit (rules for the public during the council meetings/public comment.) Though the ruling applies to Zuma Dogg (the judge ruled that council ILLEGALLY applied their rules on Zuma Dogg); the ruling AFFECTS EVERYONE who speaks at the council meeting -- and EVERYONE who speaks at ANY public meeting -- ANYWHERE in the U.S.A. (Cause FEDERAL is UNITED STATES=precedent for ENTIRE COUNTRY, now.) 


In the ruling, the Judge defines what is allowed/what council is expected to endure; so NOW they KNOW. (In case they actually thought they weren't violating the Constitution, all along; and weren't aware how F'D up it was, all along.) 

HERE IS THE PASSAGE FROM THE RULING THAT ZUMA DOGG WILL CONTINUE TO READ, DURING PUBLIC COMMENT, by the Judge: 
FEDERAL RULING (AUGUST 07, 2013) - Zuma Dogg vs Los Angeles City Council:"The court finds the discussion of a councilman’s alleged criminal activities is relevant to a discussion of funding that the City intends to give to that councilman’s District. Indeed, this incident is exemplary of why it is unconstitutional to restrict speakers from making personal attacks in City Council meetings; it chills speech critical of elected officials, which is speech at the heart of the First Amendment. In one of the largest cities in the world, it is to be expected that some inhabitants will sometimes use language that does not conform to conventions of civility and decorum, including offensive language and swear-words. As an elected official, a City Council member will be the subject of personal attacks in such language. It is asking much of City Council members, who have given themselves to public service, to tolerate profanities and personal attacks, but that is what is required by the First Amendment. While the City Council has a right to keep its meetings on topic and moving forward, it cannot sacrifice political speech to a formula of civility. Dogg “may be a gadfly to those with views contrary to [their] own, but First Amendment jurisprudence is clear that the way to oppose offensive speech is by more speech, not censorship, enforced silence or eviction from legitimately occupied public space.” Gathright v. City of 18 Portland, Or., 439 F.3d 573, 578 (9th Cir. 2006). The city that silences a critic will injure itself as much as it injures the critic, for the gadfly’s task is to stir into life the massive beast of the city, to “rouse each and every one of you, to persuade and reproach you all day long.” (#PLATO, Five Dialogues, Hackett, 23 2d Ed., Trans. G.M.A. Grube, 35 (Apology).) 24 The court GRANTS summary judgment to Plaintiffs on the as-applied challenge to the Rules of Decorum." VICTORY=DOGG, LOSERS=L.A. CITY COUNCIL & THE PEOPLE OF L.A. WHO ARE PAYING FOR ALL OF THIS.

SO, I'M SURE YOU SEE HOW/WHY THIS IS TRULY, "THE PEOPLES' VICTORY," and a RULING FOR ALL PEOPLE. It's important to know your rights, or you may have them denied, without knowing. It's not like City Council will be notifying the public of this ruling, or that passage, above. So, I will attend as many council meetings, for a long as I can, to read this to The People, to help make up for all the years, people were being denied/censored/limited/chilled/etc. -- which will help force council to obey this ruling.

Click here for FEDERAL RULING: Los Angeles City Council BROKE LAW in Censoring Public Speaker, Zuma Dogg - READ FULL SUMMARY JUDGEMENT 


MEDIA/BIO/PRESS PAGE: "The Zuma Dogg Show" [Original U.S. Reality Show]


MUSIC/COMEDY: YouTube.com/ZumaDogg - POLITICS: YouTube.com/ZumaShow

Zuma Dogg is creator/inventor/pioneer of the non-scripted/hand-held camera, reality show (comedy/pop culture); then, became the most prophetic, recognized, respected and beloved, political activism legend in Los Angeles City history. 

If there is a crowd of people (the public) and you need to entertain and inform them (get ratings) there is no one else in the world who can stun a crowd, and leave em smiling, with more proven success, than Zuma Dogg. A TRULY STUNNING and UNBELIEVABLE performing phenomenon, not to set the bar TOO high.  

RESPONSE FROM FANS & PRESS:

"Zuma Dogg, not only one of the most recognizable figures at City Hall, cordially greeted by passersby, including security guards and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, he also has the ear of high-level insiders, who feed him information in the hope that he'll expose, and possibly stop, one questionable government project or another." - LA Weekly

"Andrew Breitbart, try as he might, could never illustrate the disjointed hilarity of #OccupyLA with the same brilliance, as Zuma Dogg." - LA Weekly

"Zuma Dogg fought the oppressive, tightly controlled L.A. City Council meetings presided over by Council President Eric Garcetti, who had banned video cameras. After police tried to stop Zuma Dogg from taping the council deliberations, he railed against the big shots for months, slamming Garcetti as “Garshady” on his show and on his whistleblower blog. "Whatever happened to free speech in this country?," Zuma Dogg asked. He prevailed against Garcetti’s rules, and now brings his cameracorder to every council meeting, as can any member of the public thanks to him." - LA Weekly.

FEDERAL RULING: L.A. City Council BROKE LAW in Censoring/Silencing/Ejecting/Banning The Public - READ FULL SUMMARY JUDGEMENT & YouTube STATEMENT FROM Zuma Dogg, HERE:


From http://LACityNews.com





UNITED STATES/AUGUST 07, 2013: Today, a FEDERAL JUDGE ruled in favor of Zuma Dogg on his "as-applied" challenge to the Los Angeles City Council "Rules of Decorum" under the United States Constitution and the California constitution. Zuma Dogg may seek damages at the January 2014 jury trial. 

The court declined to issue a preliminary injunction but finds that the provisions of the Rules of Decorum at issue here are constitutional -- only when there is an actual disruption beyond a per se breach of the Rules. (The "as applied," ruling means the judge agrees that Dogg was not being disruptive, yet banned, anyway. #SlipperySlope #CensorshipAtHandsofCouncil)

The People and Media of Los Angeles stood-down, and stayed silent, as the Voice of The People (Zuma Dogg) was SILENCED, ILLEGALLY, as he was exposing the fraud/waste/abuse/corruption, brought to him by those people. (IT'S CALLED BEING COWARDS! EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.)  - via LACityNews.com 

FEDERAL RULING (AUGUST 08, 2013) - Zuma Dogg vs Los Angeles City Council: "The court finds the discussion of a councilman’s alleged criminal activities is relevant to a discussion of funding that the City intends to give to that councilman’s District. Indeed, this incident is exemplary of why it is unconstitutional to restrict speakers from making personal attacks in City Council meetings; it chills speech critical of elected officials, which is speech at the heart of the First Amendment.

HERE IS THE MESSAGE FROM ZUMA DOGG: "The FEDERAL RULING THAT #LACityCouncil BROKE LAW in CENSORSHIP of ZUMA DOGG is NOT a personal story about Zuma Dogg vs City Council.  L.A. Council, like cult leaders, have (Sheep-People) Angelinos brainwashed like cult members -- and it means that The People are not getting their full range of expression/are being chilled/silenced/censored by Council, This gives Council a free pass, cause much of what could be said, about them and projects/decisions, is not being allowed to be said, Imagine if folks could REALLY tell council what they think? Council might not try to get away with some of this stuff, in such insulated comfort and might think twice. They just DESTROYED the city, with full knowledge, and had duct tape on The People's mouth, like hostages. It's called, 'a chilling effect,' in the political legal word (and horror film genre). The extent of which I had to walk a mental tightrope, with council winds blowing -- for being off topic and other nonsense (which sure does break your train of thought, as the judge notes), really DID have a chilling/censorship effect. AND, it was ALL ILLEGAL=ALL THOSE YEARS. I wonder why the media/bloggers/activists I tried to get to help expose this, patted me on the head and told me how much they hope this wraps up, BUT NEVER MENTIONED/POSTED/BLOGGED A WORD? Meanwhile, your TRUE OUTRAGE should be the amount of L.A. City time and GENERAL FUND is being spent to prepare for the jury trial to award my damages. (A LOT MORE THAN I PROPOSED TO SETTLE FOR, a couple years ago, when I tried to get people to report on this, to end the wasteful spending.) WAIT TILL YOU HEAR THE TOTAL COST of Zuma Dogg vs L.A. City Hall...and the clock continues to tick as the city's general fund continues to bleed. City is COMMITTED TO SPENDING WHATEVER IT TAKES WITH AN ENDLESS BOTTOMLESS PIT OF YOUR TAXPAYER MONEY TO KEEP SPENDING ON THIS, after they ALREADY LOST -- and the Jan. 2014 jury trial is only for a jury to decide how much the city owes me in damages (not for them to defend their guilt/innocent=THEY ALREADY LOST!) 


STAY SILENT, SHEEP-PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES. Just pay the new taxes they will hit you with to pave the streets, while they spend the money they have, on attorney fees, over this matter." - Fake Steve Perry/Barry Gibb/Snoop Dogg/Brian Johnson/Robert Plant/Frida & Agnetha 


"THE IMPACT/HOW THIS FEDERAL RULING AGAINST L.A. CITY COUNCIL, IN FAVOR OF ZUMA DOGG, AFFECTS Y-O-U! (And, they are gonna make a new tax for street repair.) I proposed a settlement, a couple years ago, which would have not only allowed me to mitigate my damages (I am now diagnosed medically disabled, by State of CA), which I believe to be caused by the years of civil rights violations, at Venice Beach (which was also part of this lawsuit, and the judge ALSO ruled in my favor, that the city should not have banned my amplifier from the boardwalk, which caused me to lose my income/I became homeless/and am now disabled.) The city said they needed more info, and spent a bottomless pit of general fund dollars on depositions/medical exams/my own attorney fees, which they pay -- and at the time, the only ruling I won, was the Venice Beach amp portion of the suit; as the "Code of Conduct" (Banning of Zuma Dogg during public comment, for 30 council meetings at a time), ruling, did not come out until, today. SO, those are MAJOR ADDED DAMAGES, that weren't a part of the settlement they rejected, as they spent a BOTTOMLESS PIT OF MONEY, that geometrically trumps the amount I was desperate to settle for. AND, now, the L.A. City Attorney Office, their MOST EXPENSIVE OUTSIDE COUNSEL, and my attorney -- CONTINUE to prepare for a January 2014 jury trial, where the JURY will decide how much L.A. City (A Municipal CORPORATION) will pay Mr. Dogg.) The amount of money spent on attorneys/trial preparation, FAR EXCEEDS what I proposed...and then, who KNOWS what a jury will award the political activist/gadfly, Zuma Dogg, who was exposing City Council corruption/fraud/waste/abuse -- as they banned me for 30 council meetings, at a time, multiple times. A nice way to censor the political opposition. PEOPLE DON'T SAY A THING. THEY JUST LET THE GENERAL FUND BLEED OVER THIS."


NOTE: The three YouTube videos, above (top of this blog) are the videos submitted to the judge, of which a portion was used, in his ruling, today, in favor of Mr. Dogg.

City of Los Angeles Accused of CONSPIRING TO HIDE EARTHQUAKE FAULT CONCERNS for Mayor Garcetti's Double Skyscraper Towers

City of Los Angeles Accused of CONSPIRING TO HIDE EARTHQUAKE FAULT CONCERNS for Mayor Garcetti's Double Skyscraper Towers

LOS ANGELES, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Opponents of a project to build two skyscrapers in Hollywood on Wednesday accused the city of Los Angeles, and the building developers, of conspiring to hide their concerns about an earthquake fault that may run underneath the site.
Citing emails and internal documents they received from Los Angeles City Hall through California's Public Records Act, the group claims that city building safety officials and developers of the Millennium Hollywood project discussed last year the possibility that an active earthquake fault ran under the site.
The group, led by environmental attorney Robert Silverstein, also accuses the developers, Millennium Partners, of conducting a geological earthquake study in November last year, and then failing to include the study in a subsequent Environmental Impact Report.
The $664 million Millennium Hollywood project includes construction of two high-rise towers that would dwarf the landmark Capitol Records building. It would add more than a million square feet of office, hotel and retail space to Hollywood.
The project was approved by the Los Angeles City Council last month and is supported by the city Mayor Eric Garcetti. But opponents object to the radical change it will mean for the Hollywood skyline, and claim it is dangerous because the nine-mile Hollywood Fault runs through the area.
"The Hollywood Fault is considered active and appears to exist in the vicinity of the subject," a Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety Official wrote in a letter to a city planning official, according to one internal letter.
The letter, dated May 23, 2012, was one of several internal communications provided by Silverstein, acting for a coalition of 40 community groups that oppose the project.
Silverstein also released an email exchange between a city official and an attorney for the developers in which they discussed a 2010 California state survey that showed a fault could run under the project site.
"These are smoking gun emails," Silverstein said. "The city and developer have been claiming that no evidence shows an earthquake fault across the property."
One problem is that nobody knows for certain exactly where the Hollywood Fault lies. A state survey to properly map it is not due to be completed until the end of this year.
Luke Zamperini, from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, denied Silverstein's allegations.
"No one is trying to hide anything," he said. "We have seen no evidence that the project is on the fault. But if it is, they will have to move it."
The city has asked the developers to conduct further geological tests and will review the results of the state survey when it's complete.
Millennium Partners, the developers, say they did their own geological testing and found no evidence of the fault underneath the site.

We know why he was SO nervous, here, about ZD; who DID INDEED have the plugged pulled on the corrupt, on-going, agenda item he is addressing here. #SpecialEventFeeWaivers 

"Zuma Dogg fought the oppressive, L.A. Council meetings presided over by Garcetti, who banned video cameras. Mr. Dogg prevailed against Garcetti’s rules, any now any member of the public may record the meetings, thanks to him." - LA Weekly

FEDERAL SUMMARY JUDGEMENT! City of Los Angeles Found To Be In Violation of Zuma Dogg's Constitutional Rights During Public Comment At Council Meetings [Mr. Dogg May Now Seek Damages Against L.A. City in January 2014 Awards Trial]

REPORTERS/MEDIA: If you would like a .PDF of the entire ruling, on this Venice Beach boardwalk, and City Council public comment (free speech/1st Amendment/U.S. & California Constitutional lawsuit), email ZD@FinerBeats.com. 

UNITED STATES/AUGUST 07, 2013: Today, a FEDERAL JUDGE ruled in favor of Zuma Dogg on his "as-applied" challenge to the Los Angeles City Council "Rules of Decorum" under the United States Constitution and the California constitution. Zuma Dogg may seek damages at the January 2014 jury trial. 


The court declined to issue a preliminary injunction but finds that the provisions of the Rules of Decorum at issue here are constitutional -- only when there is an actual disruption beyond a per se breach of the Rules. (The "as applied," ruling means the judge agrees that Dogg was not being disruptive, yet banned, anyway. #SlipperySlope #CensorshipAtHandsofCouncil)


FEDERAL RULING (AUGUST 08, 2013): "The court finds the discussion of a councilman’s alleged criminal activities is relevant to a discussion of funding that the City intends to give to that councilman’s District. Indeed, this incident is exemplary of why it is unconstitutional to restrict speakers from making personal attacks in City Council meetings; it chills speech
41Case 2:09-cv-06731-DDP-SS:
1 critical of elected officials, which is speech at the heart of the First Amendment. In one of the largest cities in the world, it is to be expected that some inhabitants will sometimes use language that does not conform to conventions of civility and decorum, including offensive language and swear-words. As an elected official, a City Council member will be the subject of personal attacks in such language. It is asking much of City Council members, who have given themselves to public service, to tolerate profanities and personal attacks, but that is what is required by the First Amendment. While the City Council has a right to keep its meetings on topic and moving forward, it cannot sacrifice political speech to a formula of civility. Dogg “may be a gadfly to those with views contrary to [their] own, but First Amendment jurisprudence is clear that the way to oppose offensive speech is by more speech, not censorship, enforced silence or eviction from legitimately occupied public space.” Gathright v. City of 18 Portland, Or., 439 F.3d 573, 578 (9th Cir. 2006). The city that silences a critic will injure itself as much as it injures the critic, for the gadfly’s task is to stir into life the massive beast of the city, to “rouse each and every one of you, to persuade and reproach you all day long.” (‪#‎PLATO‬, Five Dialogues, Hackett, 23 2d Ed., Trans. G.M.A. Grube, 35 (Apology).) 24 The court GRANTS summary judgment to Plaintiffs on the as-applied challenge to the Rules of Decorum. VICTORY=DOGG, LOSERS=L.A. CITY COUNCIL & THE PEOPLE OF L.A. WHO ARE PAYING FOR ALL OF THIS.


The People and Media of Los Angeles stood-down, and stayed silent, as the Voice of The People (Zuma Dogg) was SILENCED, ILLEGALLY, as he was exposing the fraud/waste/abuse/corruption, brought to him by those people. (IT'S CALLED BEING COWARDS! EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.)

NOTE: The three YouTube videos, above (top of this blog) are the videos submitted to the judge, of which a portion was used, in his ruling, today, in favor of Mr. Dogg.

MESSAGE FROM ZUMA DOGG: "THE IMPACT/HOW THIS FEDERAL RULING AGAINST L.A. CITY COUNCIL, IN FAVOR OF ZUMA DOGG, AFFECTS Y-O-U! (And, they are gonna make a new tax for street repair.) I proposed a settlement, a couple years ago, which would have not only allowed me to mitigate my damages (I am now diagnosed medically disabled, by State of CA), which I believe to be caused by the years of civil rights violations, at Venice Beach (which was also part of this lawsuit, and the judge ALSO ruled in my favor, that the city should not have banned my amplifier from the boardwalk, which caused me to lose my income/I became homeless/and am now disabled.) The city said they needed more info, and spent a bottomless pit of general fund dollars on depositions/medical exams/my own attorney fees, which they pay -- and at the time, the only ruling I won, was the Venice Beach amp portion of the suit; as the "Code of Conduct" (Banning of Zuma Dogg during public comment, for 30 council meetings at a time), ruling, did not come out until, today. SO, those are MAJOR ADDED DAMAGES, that weren't a part of the settlement they rejected, as they spent a BOTTOMLESS PIT OF MONEY, that geometrically trumps the amount I was desperate to settle for. AND, now, the L.A. City Attorney Office, their MOST EXPENSIVE OUTSIDE COUNSEL, and my attorney -- CONTINUE to prepare for a January 2014 jury trial, where the JURY will decide how much L.A. City (A Municipal CORPORATION) will pay Mr. Dogg.) The amount of money spent on attorneys/trial preparation, FAR EXCEEDS what I proposed...and then, who KNOWS what a jury will award the political activist/gadfly, Zuma Dogg, who was exposing City Council corruption/fraud/waste/abuse -- as they banned me for 30 council meetings, at a time, multiple times. A nice way to censor the political opposition. PEOPLE DON'T SAY A THING. THEY JUST LET THE GENERAL FUND BLEED OVER THIS."



See :30 Second Time-Warner Commercial for "Zuma Dogg Free Outdoor Concert in Malibu, Sunday @ 4pm"

NOTICE: This idea/TV commercial is a lot of fun, but Zuma Dogg ain't what he used to be, and though NEVER SOUNDS BETTER as a LIVE vocalist, after a year of recording and singing, more than ever -- he's kinda too disabled to commit to having to be at a certain location at a certain time. In other words, based on how I feel, today; I can't direct people to an event that I can't be assured I will be able to attend. CANCELLED! But, enjoy this fun commercial and idea/in theory.

ZUMA DOGG - FREE OUTDOOR CONCERT:

Sunday, Aug. 11, 2013 @ 4pm

BIGGEST REUNION SHOW SINCE KISS @ DODGERS STADIUM!: NOT that I've performed LIVE on #Venice boardwalk, for a while, but I always seem to hang around, in the area, in hopes that I will fall into a black hole/time-warp, back to a few years ago. I've complained of #safety issues, on the boardwalk, and even this past Friday, when I got my new Roland Cube mini amp, I said, "WON'T be using it on Venice boardwalk. #SafetyCounts." (Foreshadow of the NEXT DAY, when car rams through the area on the boardwalk, I stick to.) SO, I guess it's BACK TO THE 'BU...for the re-debut of #Z-U-M-A D-O-G-G!!! LIVE OUTDOOR #VeniceBeachBoardwalk style show, at Cross Creek (near Howdy's/Lumber Yard Mall)...THIS SUNDAY, August 11th @ 4pm. Gonna ROCK the CAYNONS and The People! #Show-Stopping/#StillGotIt, coming down PCH from Venice Beach! BE THERE! #LocalsOnly #RealTalk (If U R not 90265, U may be REGULATED away. MLO don't play.

VENICE BOARDWALK DRIVER CRIME SCENE EXCLUSIVE PHOTO: Venice boardwalk driver ENTRY POINT=City of L.A. was ONE POLE SHORT!

QUALITY & PRODUCTIVITY (Deming's 14 Points) LESSON #1: If you are a municipal corporation, like City of Los Angeles; invest in ONE extra pole. The driver who killed a Venice Beach boardwalk tourist, and injured many, after driving onto boardwalk, did so, HERE. LESSON: Learn "Quality & Productivity" Deming's 14 Points, to avoid these types of situations in the future. (See also: Downtown LAPD security cameras, that never worked.)

MEDIA/BIO/PRESS PAGE: "The Zuma Dogg Show" [Original U.S. Reality Show]


Zuma Dogg is creator/inventor/pioneer of the non-scripted/hand-held camera, reality show; and is widely considered the funniest, most genius, improv comedian and overall entertaining performer alive, today -- and of all time. ZD became the most heroic, prophetic, beloved, recognized and respected political activism legend in Los Angeles City history, as well. 

MUSIC/COMEDY: YouTube.com/ZumaDogg - POLITICS: YouTube.com/ZumaShow

If there is a crowd of people (the public) and you need to entertain and inform them (get ratings) there is no one else in the world who can stun a crowd, and leave em smiling, with more proven success, than Zuma Dogg. A true unseen phenomenon and gift to the world.

RESPONSE FROM FANS & PRESS:

"Zuma Dogg, not only one of the most recognizable figures at City Hall, cordially greeted by passersby, including security guards and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, he also has the ear of high-level insiders, who feed him information in the hope that he'll expose, and possibly stop, one questionable government project or another." - LA Weekly

"Andrew Breitbart, try as he might, could never illustrate the disjointed hilarity of #OccupyLA with the same brilliance, as Zuma Dogg." - LA Weekly

"Zuma Dogg fought the oppressive, tightly controlled L.A. City Council meetings presided over by Council President Eric Garcetti, who had banned video cameras. After police tried to stop Zuma Dogg from taping the council deliberations, he railed against the big shots for months, slamming Garcetti as “Garshady” on his show and on his whistleblower blog. "Whatever happened to free speech in this country?," Zuma Dogg asked. He prevailed against Garcetti’s rules, and now brings his cameracorder to every council meeting, as can any member of the public thanks to him." - LA Weekly.

"Well done. I agree with your comments." - Dr. W. Ed Deming (fax to me in 1989, in reply to my summary of his life's work/#14Points/#Quality&Productivity.)

"Fabulous" - Tony Robbins (letter in reply to published article in "Quality Digest.")

"You took our concepts and extended them in ways I found very interesting." - Al Ries (letter to ZD.)

"Zuma Dogg has distinguished himself as a "mix of curiosity and crusader" fighting for what he considers his free-speech rights."He's been able to do it with humor and at times be more direct and substantive." - Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti/Los Angeles Times

"Local Legend." - KABC Radio

"Brain-seizing artistry. An L.A. TV icon." - LA Weekly

Zuma Dogg beat the City of Los Angeles (A Municipal Corporation) in U.S. Federal Court, on civil rights/1st Amendment violations, affecting thousands, on Venice Beach boardwalk. An injunction was ordered in 2010. The city and nation awaits a complete ruling (Summary Judgement), literally, any day (as of July 30, 2013) -- on this issue; and the 30 day bannings of Mr. Dogg, at the Los Angeles City Council meetings, during free speech/public comment period. [IS an elected body allowed to ban someone from public comment/free speech, for 30 days at a time, under U.S. Constitution? We'll find out, soon.] - LACityNews.com 

[July 30, 2013 UPDATE: Forget summary judgement in July. Entire trial was moved, again, this time from September to January.  Doesn't seem to be much motivation for elected officials to follow the law.]

ZUMA DOGG: As seen on every L.A. TV station (KNBC, KABC, KCBS, FOX, KCAL, PBS); as heard and discussed on every L.A. talk radio station (KABC, KFI, KRLA, KTLK) -- literally hundreds and hundreds of times as political commentator/reporter/investigator/media personality; full page article in Los Angeles Times (unprecedented)/quoted numerous times in L.A. Times, as political/city/"voice/political expert"; multiple articles about Zuma Dogg, in L.A. Weekly/two articles by Mr. Dogg were published by L.A. Weekly. Around 10,000 votes for L.A. Mayor, in 2009 (vs Villaraigosa) in an unseen result, placing 3rd (of 9 challengers), with no money spent on the campaign. (Yes, ZD came in 3rd, with about 10,000 votes when he merely placed his name on the ballot for #MayorofLosAngeles.) Praised by Hollywood Emmy/Grammy/Oscar WINNERS, as UNSEEN phenomenon (see some quotes below), and countless thousands of the general viewing public (see quotes below), welcome to the homepage of Zuma Dogg. It's ALL here (or links from here). Here are some quotes from the media/press/people, as mentioned above:
