PAUL E. AMORI

Paul E. Amori, founder of the Love Party and three-time Mayor of the Lightning In A Bottle festival, is running for Mayor of Los Angeles to spread love over our fair city.

“LA has not only been my home for the last 16 years, but it is also a very visible stage from which to launch a grass roots movement that we hope to make into a national and eventually even an international movement.

With the nation’s largest homeless population, congested streets and highways, rising cost of living and crime, Los Angeles is in dire need of more love!”

Amori’s first foray into the world of politics came when he was ceremoniously elected mayor of the Lightning in a Bottle music festival in 2012 and 2013. As a token of his esteem for the festival and its multi-cultural attendees he created Amori’s Casino & Burlesque, a late night venue that celebrates love in all its myriad forms and passions. Over the last four years Amori’s has become a beloved institution at the festival and has continued to serve as the festival’s honorary mayor.

Like all descendants of immigrants of this great nation, Amori’s roots can be traced back to the old country. But make no mistake, Amori is 110% grade A – Amorican, and an Angelino thru and thru.

Paul E. Amori and the Vote 4 Love campaign are putting the heart back into politics by creating a new political model that does away with vitriolic smear tactics and examines the issues and solutions thru the rose-colored glasses of love. The campaign also seeks to re engage disenfranchised voters, the vast majority of registered voters in Los Angeles (more than 80%), who are not expected to turn out for the 2017 Mayoral election, calling for Angelenos to not just Vote 4 Love, but to Love their Vote! If you’re tired of the same old politics, it’s time for some Paul-E-Tics!

Amori summarizes the key points of his platform as:

– We embrace love and the creation of more love as the best possible tool for affecting change that benefits all people, across party, socioeconomic and ethnic lines. Our campaign will determine how we can use love to create solutions for many of the issues Angelenos care about most such as: homelessness, traffic, the rising cost of living, and an escalating crime rate.

– The Vote 4 Love campaign is committed to dramatically raising the bar on voter turnout. Less than 20% of registered voters are expected to turn out for LA’s 2017 mayoral election, we believe that the citizens of our city do not feel heard or empowered, in turn they don’t feel connected to the politicians who are supposed to be representing them. We want to engage voters by getting them involved in policy creation effectively creating crowd-sourced governance.

“We need politics that serve our cities and politicians that serve our people. It’s time to stop voting for anger, for hatred, for division. It’s time to Vote 4 Love!”

Paul E. Amori is the founder of the Love Party and three-time Mayor of the Lightning In A Bottle festival.

GANDA BOYS

The Ganda Boys (formerly known as Da Twinz) was formed during 2008 through an exciting collaboration on the highly acclaimed 2009 BBC-TV drama series, MOSES JONES. Denis Mugagga, Daniel Sewagudde and Craig Pruess immediately found that they had a special sound and style together – and that they could write lots of songs as a team (so easily) and the result was immediate, soulful, amazing and rewarding.

Forced to flee Uganda in 2001, Denis Mugagga and Daniel Sewagudde acquired refugee status in the UK having endured a relocation process that lasted several years. As young musicians from a turbulent Ugandan homeland they experienced first-hand the hardship of re-establishing their lives in a foreign system, leaving family, friends, and their budding hopes behind. They found strength while meeting many other refugees along their journey and became committed to addressing the current unprecedented flow of over 60 million displaced people from several troubled countries in the world.

UK based Ugandan singers DENIS MUGAGGA and DAN SEWAGUDDE (formerly of Da Twinz fame) have teamed up with UK world musician, arranger, record producer and film composer, CRAIG PRUESS, to form a new and exciting band, the GANDA BOYS.

A unique and vibrant sound, a big London live show achieved their first album!

On top of that, the three Ganda Boys have started the GANDA FOUNDATION, their charitable organization for raising money for social programs to combat poverty in the Third World – starting with raising funds and providing equipment for Ugandan hospitals and schools in need.

The recorded sound of the Ganda Boys is under the capable hands of cutting edge world fusion expert/performer, CRAIG PRUESS – a versatile American multi-instrumentalist musician, award winning composer, arranger, gold & platinum record producer.

Living in Kenya, East Africa, for some years, he stirred up the music scene there after joining the East Conservatoire of Music in Nairobi as a full time member of the music teaching staff. (he was in constant trouble with the establishment there for becoming well known in Kenya with his rock and soul bands!).

Based in the UK for many years, Craig has arranged and/or produced many of the UK’s top recording artists, including Massive Attack, Def Leppard, Sir Cliff Richard, Bond, and has been a featured session musician for Joe Cocker, Mike Oldfield and the Madonna film, “The Next Best Thing”. This is surely a very dangerous man…

His Indo-fusion expertise and sitar playing can be heard on “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, “Harry Potter, The Goblet of Fire”, “The Guru” and the Warner Brothers film “A Little Princess”.

Craig’s number one UK box office composer credits include the soundtracks for films “Bend It Like Beckham” and “Bride and Prejudice”, and his credits for TV music include the 2010 BAFTA Award nominated and 2009 RTS award nominated (for best original music score) BBC-TV drama series, MOSES JONES, and also one of the most successful independent TV drama series in UK history, “Peak Practice.”

But it was during the making of the recent BBC “Moses Jones” series that Craig first met and worked with Denis and Dan, and they have never looked back! It’s a sizzling collaboration, made for an international audience – heart and soul, poetic and full of energy!

Beautifully recorded and performed, with a vibrant and organic sound, the new album is called THE WAR OF LOVE.

My name is Amy Toy; Intuitive Counselor, Past Life Regression Therapist, Integrated Energy Therapy® Practitioner, Angelic Healer, Oracle Reader, Psychic Medium, Reiki Healer, and Radio Show Host.

I have been doing readings and corresponding with the angelic realm for over 30 years, and very adept at channeling angelic energy in a healing. I've had clear cognition of connecting to source energy since the age of three, and by fourteen I was proficient with tarot readings. My connection to the Divine was further heightened by not one, but TWO Near Death Experiences (NDE).

The second NDE re-opened my transcendental gifts. However, I suppressed these spiritual gifts because it was ingrained in me, that it was evil and not from the God. Later in life I discovered through my life's journey and soul searching that religion is used to bring us closer to ourselves, purpose, and Source. It was during my profound second NDE, I recognized that I was truly surrounded by God’s messengers; the Angels. From that point forward I harnessed my power enhancing my super natural gifts, and continually expend my knowledge through connecting with the angelic realm.

I consider it nothing less than an honor and a privilege to help those in need, have no doubt this is my very purpose in life. It gladdens my heart to be of service to those individuals from all walks of life! I have a unique way of looking at things, which enables me to understand any problems or issues that you may be currently facing, and to work with you towards finding a resolution that is in harmony with the greater good for all concerned.

Grant Cameron is the recipient of the Leeds Conference International Researcher of the Year and the UFO Congress Researcher of the Year. He became involved in Ufology as the Vietnam War ended in May 1975 with personal sightings of an UFO type object which locally became known as Charlie Red Star. These sightings led to a decade of research into the early 1950s work done by the Canadian government into the flying saucer phenomena. Cameron became the authority on the Canadian government program and Wilbert B. Smith who headed it up. This led to an investigation of the role in the UFO cover-up by the former President of Penn State University. The results of this research became the book “UFOs, Area 51 and the Government” in 1991. Cameron proceeded to do almost three decades of research into the role of the President of the United States in the UFO mystery. Most of that research can be found at the Presidents UFO Website – and in the recently published book “The Clinton UFO Storybook.” After experiencing a mental download event on February 26, 2012 Cameron turned his research interests away from “nuts and bolts” research to the role of consciousness in the UFO phenomena. This new research has expanded out to the possible involvement of extraterrestrials in modern music, and in the phenomena of inspirations and downloads in science discoveries, inventions, Nobel Prizes, music, art, books, near death experiences, meditation, and with individuals known as savants and prodigies. This research is detailed in two recent books “The Paranormal World of Music,” and “Inspired: The Paranormal World of Creativity,” which is the basis for a new series on Gaia TV. Cameron has lectured widely in Canada, the United States and Europe. He has appeared on many television documentaries on UFOs, and been interviewed by nearly a hundred radio shows including a number of appearances on Coast to Coast AM. In 2013 he was one of 40 witnesses that testified in front of six ex-Senators and Congressmen in Washington for the “Citizen’s Hearing UFO on Disclosure.” In 2016 Cameron was one of 6 UFO experts who testified in front of a panel of reporters in Brantford Ontario for the first public hearing on UFOs. His other books include his just released book, “Alien Bedtime Stories” with 72 articles on UFOs as they relate to the Presidents, consciousness, abductions, and musicians. He is preparing to release the books “Managing Magic: The Government’s UFO Disclosure Plan” and “Tales of Charlie Red Star” which details one of the largest UFO flaps in history.

James Clarkson is an Investigator who has stood in two worlds for many years – a career professional investigator in the criminal justice field and as a lifelong researcher of the UFO Mystery. He has been a plainclothes military police investigator, a 20-year career city police officer and fraud investigator who has had many titles: patrol supervisor, detective sergeant, fatal accident team manager and training officer. After retiring with 20 years’ service, he became a child abuse detective and then he completed another decade of service as a fraud investigator for a Washington state agency. Meanwhile, for the last 30 years he has studied the mystery of UFOs with the same attention to detail that he applied to criminal investigations. In 1986 he joined the Mutual UFO Network. Applying the same passion for solving mysteries to the world of High Strangeness, James Clarkson serves as the Washington State Director of MUFON and the Special Assignments Team for MUFON. He has lectured at many UFO events across the country and in Paris as well as appearances on radio and TV. He is the author of TELL MY STORY- June Crain, the Air Force & UFOs as well as the Westport UFO Crash Retrieval Event.
