Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is packing this weekend full of man-about-town stops where he can meet the people and pose for photos all in prep for Tuesday's municipal election, when he hopes the voters will put him into office for a second term.

Yesterday Villaraigosa moved rapid-fire from civic events to eateries, with lots of stops at favorite food hangouts like Langer's Deli and Canter's. His day ended after 11 p.m. when he showed up at Pink's Hot Dogs on La Brea, to work the line a bit and to taste the hot dog name for him. Villaraigosa's Twitter from the event urges us to take a bite the hot dog that bears his name: "Try the Mayor's Dog at Pinks which is a Jalapeno Dog, with chopped tomatoes, lettuce, chili, grilled onions, and topped with fresh guacamole."

The Mayor Sam blog has some snaps from the Mayor's stop last night, but notes:

[Aide Mike] Trujillo said this was an example of how the Mayor "Gets out there with the people" yet it appeared no one was particularly interested one way or another that the Mayor was there.

[Working at Pink's] could be a good career for the Mayor once his days in politics are over.

Early in March reauthorization of E-VERIFY (the illegal alien extraction from the workplace law ) comes up for a vote. Business don't like it because it half's their immeasurable greed for cheap labor, instead of Americans. La Raza and radical special interest groups, will lie about it's 99.6 success rate. US chamber of Commerce wants to keep the incessant flow of processed foreign workers, because corporate warlords can exploit them. Both political parties are equally to blame, because it inhances free trade. Most honest lawmakers keep low-profile, otherwise they might get branded with the proverbial racist epithet.

Tired hard working Americans are confused by the silent Liberal media and fail to see the danger of overpopulation. Hardly any speak up, even though large chunks of federal spending goes to social services of people who stole through undermanned border. Politicians like Sen.Harry Reid (D-NV), Speaker Pelosi (D-CAL) Senator Gutierrez, Sen. Feinstein (D-CAL), have been purchased by the multi-national corporations. Why use American workers when you can pay minimum wage, with no benefits and usher injured workers to a hospital for free health care? Even our Mayors, judges and other elected officers are in on the act, like LA's Villaraigosa or SanFran Newsom.

Washington sources rumor is that E-VERIFY is being held hostage, so some corrupt politicians can use it as a fulcrum to force through a immigration Reform package Better known as AMNESTY! Overload Washington switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Presidents Obama's comments at 202-456-1111. Switchboard: 202) 224-3121 THE PEOPLE demand mandatory E-Verify now? Not Sen. Harry Reid's watered down version.

LAST CHANCE FOR AMERICAN WORKERS RIGHTS !

That dog is a heart attack waiting to happen.
