Let's get in on the ground floor on this one, comrades!
The Los Angeles County Supervisors tried to sneak in a blatant Constitutional violation last year by inserting a reactionary cross into the new county seal, but thanks to an alert activist judge, they've had their little Christofascistic fingers slapped!
Some savvy American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California watchdogs and a group of properly diverse religious scholars and leaders filed suit to stop this attempt to create a theocracy in Los Angeles when supervisors added a small cross to the top of the mission building depicted on the Great Seal of Los Angeles County in 2014.
Although the supervisors swore (that is to say LIED!) that the cross was simply placed there to show that the building depicted on the seal was a representation of the historical mission that was part of the original settlement of the city, these wise guardians of the Peoples' morals were not fooled.
It was obviously an attempt to intimidate persons of non-Christian backgrounds and force them to worship an imperialist and white-supremacist deity every time they saw the county seal.
They brought suit over the issue, and the wheels of justice rolled right over Los Angeles today, when U.S. District Judge Christina A. Snyder ruled against the county, requiring to remove the hate-filled symbol of religious oppression from the County Seal immediately.
I say this is a good start, comrades, but it does not go far enough in erasing the history we don't like.
We need to change the name of Los Angeles itself. It is simply too much of an endorsement of religion as it stands. The actual name of the city in full is "La Ciudad de la Reina de los Angeles" ("The City of the Queen of the Angels"), which is a blatant reference to the Virgin Mary.
We can't have that, now can we?
So I put it to you, loyal Party Members: What shall we demand as the new name of the city and county that dares no longer speak its name?

This may seem a bit obtuse but,
