Editor:

Is anyone surprised that the power brokers in Santa Monica want to defeat the LUVE initiative?

How dare a group of stupid Santa Monica citizens ask for a voice in the future development of Santa Monica!

How dare LUVE supporters challenge the demands of the leftist SMRR and the commands of our comrades in the City Council!

They will try to crush this grassroots movement by using all the resources of the SMRR, the power of the City Council and their well-heeled developer partners, but LUVE will succeed because our residents know that "Santa Monica Matters."
