Silent Majority – please send me an email for further discussion via the CONTACT Tab at my website. Loretta Brixey ran as a 32-year-old Republican and lost her Anaheim city council race in 1994 while she had been living in Palos Verdes. She dropped Brixey, added Sanchez, switched party, and beat Bob Dornan two years later then again in 1998. A tall order or pay my dues? I have no interest in the Assembly and Janet Nguyen will be Supervisor for eight plus years.

Ky-Phong, I will be running the Long Beach Half Marathon on 10/12/08 which is two weeks before I run the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC.

Start out slow…

Boy, when did this blog start to get over-run with conservative lobbyist?

Vietnamese Australian Nam Le’s work is an interesting comparison to Vietnamese American fiction writing.

The Bolsavik may be more excitable than he would like to project.

Bolsavik: thanks for a refreshing story that makes us all proud.

Quang: you should seriously consider running. too may yahoos out there claiming to represent us. a congressional seat for your first run may be a tall order though. how about the assembly or oc board of sup?

Last time, I forgot to say thanks to the Bolsavik for sharing with us this great story. I definitely want to get a copy of “The Boat.”

Quang,

Thanks! Nice author’s web site! Will email you.

AmericanWoman,

I think many Americans share your totally valid concerns. We also have to be clear-minded about this complex problem, which must be resolved at the federal level. With President McCain, he will get all sides sit down at the table and work out an effective bipartisanly supported solution.

there have been unionization efforts on behalf of illegal immigrant workers for decades, as long as there has been exploitation of illegal immigrant workers. there have even been documentary and feature films in wide-release on the subject. for American Woman, i wonder why you assume “the Viets came here and are an industrious part of our community; they didn’t come here to undermine our way of life, or to disrespect America,” but you do not allow yourself to even imagine the same of illegal Latinos? do you know how much many countless illegal and legal Latinos contribute daily to this country? did you read Bolsavik’s most recent post of about Viet immigrants in the prostitution ring? legality is a question fraught with political and economic complexities and motivations that the Home Depot management, for example, has flip-flopped on for many years. i think an incident like this should allow us all to re-evaluate our own limited understanding and positionality around these topics, rather than to polarize and create more dissention between ethnic communities and peoples.

VietPundit — do I need a Bolsalawyer to sue the Bolsavik?
