A former student activist from the UVSA is back in town and she’s running for the Garden Grove City Council.
T. Linh Ho was in the Union of Vietnamese Students Association of Southern California (Vietnamese: Tong Hoi Sinh Viên) at around the same time as some other now-notable names in the community:
Phu Nguyen, Tammy T. Tran, etc. At UCLA, Linh played a major role in the unification of the former Vietnamese Students Association and the Vietnamese-American Coalition to form the Vietnamese Student Union.
Student activists from about 5 years ago probably will remember Linh from the UVSA, the Tet Festival, and the Camp for Youth, casually called in Vietnamese “Trai He Tong Hoi.”
After UCLA, Linh Ho went to Massachussetts to get a master’s degree from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government before returning to enroll in the UCLA School of Law. She is now working for a municipal law firm.
Linh Ho is pictured above attending (and speaking at) the meeting of the Garden Grove City Council in support of renewing the Tet Festival contract for another 5 years. Linh Ho is a graduate of Garden Grove High School, which ironically is right next to the park where the Tet Festival takes place.
The list of candidates vying for the 2 open seats on the Garden Grove City Council is still rather short, by historical standard. Paul Lucas is publicly in the running, as is Robin Marcario (read more here). At the same council meeting above, Lucas asserted that Trung Nguyen was running, which caused the school board member and former supervisorial candidate turned serial litigant turned red-baiter to backtrack. “I have until August 8 to decide,” Trung said.
Other people said to be running include Lac Tan Nuygen, who came in 5th in 2006 in a field of eight.
In related news, Councilman Bruce Broadwater, a former mayor, is said to want his old job back and contemplate a run against incumbent Mayor Bill Dalton. In the world of OC Viet politics, Broadwater is an ally of Van Tran while Dalton endorsed Janet Nguyen in her re-election campaign.
As a home grown girl, Linh Ho will be a powerful voice for all of Garden Grove. She knows this community which is made up of hard working, but older “Reagan” Democrats, relatively younger VN, Latinos, and newer immigrant communities, including growing Middle Eastern populations, as well as folks from Eastern Europe and West Africa. Like most of Central OC, GG is growing increasingly multicultural and diverse. It therefore needs leaders like Linh Ho who can reach across communities to bring people together.
There have been too many VN of late who have run divisive campaigns, splitting one group against the other. Linh Ho, like GGUSD Trustee KimOanh Nguyen Lam, is someone who aspires to represent all the community. After all, VN are just as interested as the mainstream in quality education, affordable housing, access to health care, and support for small business.
Let’s hope other VN leaders agree and can support this wonderful candidate who represents the future of the VN community and will make us all very proud.
Impressive background. It’s a good day for our community.
Bolsavik,
Isn’t Bolsa Grande HS right next to the park where Tet festivals held ?
Go , go LInh Ho … all the way to the mayor office then perhaps in time, the 47th Congressional district of California .We’re proud of you
I am really happy for T. Linh, whom I strongly endorse, for the city of Garden Grove, whose voters will hopefully have the sense to take advantage of this great opportunity to improve their city council, and for the DPOC who will continue to support and benefit from this rising star.
Great news.
Damn, how’s a broken English, wanna-be-lawyer, perpetual campaign running-and-losing, Trannie apologist, like myself going to stand a chance against this girl? I guess I won’t run to save myself from further embarassment.
It’s good to see many candidates are running for the GG Council and I believe the front leader is Trung Nguyen.
Wow, Jung Kim making a statement we couldn’t have foreseen. Are you sure you’re not Trung Kim?
I think Bolsavik is slacking off little here.
Bruce Broadwater is not running for GG. Mayor…….. and Bill Dalton has been already endorsed by most viet officials.
Anon, are you sure you are not LaLa Pho?
anonymous 1:16, i guess we will never know who jung kim is unless he/she/it wants to let us know or somebody who knows who he/she/it actually is. i think eventually we will find out. this should be interesting. one thing i do know for sure is that jung kim is obviously a communist who hates this country. a scared little person who thinks everybody is out to get him/her/it. a person who claims to know god but doesnt act very godly. a homophobic little creature that likes to make threats. what you dont understand jung kim is that you embarrass our community and you embarrass your race.
[ERASED BY THE BOLSAVIK for racism]
jose….aka retard and a half, you want to figure out my identity with your utterly drug fried brain cluster? Is some one playing nice music for us?
jung kim, i forgot to mention you’re a racist. and fyi, i dont like corona beer i’m more of a shiner bock man myself.
[ERASED BY THE BOLSAVIK for racism]
Finally, we have a young person who’s educated and doesn’t seem to be self-interested. I’m sick of all the bickering in our community, especially from Van Tran’s group and Janet Nguyen’s group, as seen on this blog. I hope this independent candidate can bring about some unity in our community.
Can we say Gang Banger. Hey Linh will your old classmates come out and volunteer for you? Wow! all the old high school photos will come out to haunt you linh this is going to be comical… and we thought Hoa’s gang photos were bad!!!!
Jose S.
You are full of kaka. Stop writing on this blog and polluting it.
jung kim, i’m sad your racist remarks were deleted i thought they should have been left up to show your true colors,to show what you’re all about. embarrassing to your race as they were. and “fat janet”, (whats with the fake names?) if and when i ever move out of little saigon i wont comment on the problems that directly affect me on a daily basis. i wont comment on the high volume of communists that reside and hold public office here in “OUR” community.
“A former student activist from the UVSA is back in town and she’s running for the Garden Grove City Council.”
Where has she been?
Can I guess he may have been working with her father who is a Tranny? her father was van Trans building contractor for youears on vans land and development deals. Does Art pedroza know this yet? Lin Ho is a Tranny through and Through.
jose, are you asking fat Janet of her real name?
jose santos de maricon, and your name is not a fake one?
jose, the loser, do not accuse me of being racist because I am not…. however, you don’t deserve sympathy from anyone.
Your depressed and shrinked balls serve no other purpose than make little Tommy happy when he is alone.
It is truly sad to watch your functioning dismembered neuro system triggering wrong informations to your vacant sphere ….hastely protected by the charred skull engraved with SA zip code!
umm, actually jose is my real name i dont feel the need to make one up when i speak my mind on this or any blog. i live in what is now called little saigon. iv’e lived here before it was called that long before the first vietnamese refugee came to america. unlike you ive embraced this culture and the people but sadly along with some refugees communists got in. and they are here and thriving in “OUR” community. drive down moran street and you’ll see a whole nest of them. and their way of thinking has spread to younger communists like you. personally i see this as a threat. there is nothing better than freedom but the communists in “OUR” community have gotten out of hand and try to take the rights of others well sorry but i wont stand still for it. your racist remarks and hatred dont bother me i’m glad you show it. but why wont you say who you really are? are you afraid or just ashamed? such cowards.
jung kim, you are a racist. a racist i can handle iv’e dealt with racism my whole life. first by whites and now by vietnamese communists like you. but the whole communist beliefs that you and some on here share i wont stand for. that is a far bigger threat than anything.
jose, the lost soul, I am asking you again, what is communism in your own definition?
Answer before I flush you in the toilet!
Jung Kim you are cluless about jose. He is one of us.
lol, jung kim, you just answered that for me didnt you? you are the communist, you show it on this blog quite regularly. but like i said, ive been dealing with this crap for a long time. much longer than before you were swimming around in your fathers communist balls.
Dear Dina and Trung,
Please let me know if you guys need photoshop work for upcoming election. I can donate my time. Guarantee it will look genuine. =)
Dear T. Linh Ho,
Please be careful of what you will say or do until the election over. Trannies will deploy his mobs to camp out in front of your house unless you admited you are a commie member. Please start looking for a lawyer because Trung Nguyen will not leave you alone if you won the election.
I think jose and Anh Tu are related by mutual scum spit. They have same rhetoric without any truths in their comments. Should file for the marriage license before Nov. 4th election.
Wait, Janet’s recount lawyers might come to rescue gay’s marriage ceremonies!
Anh Tu was last seen in his dress at uncle Mao’s fundraising event for Janet!

Anh Tu”,
Stop bad mouthing Dina and Trung. Stop being an asshole.
I DON’T KNOW ABOUT TRUNG BUT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ” BAD MOUTHING ” dina… THEY’RE JUST FACT, IF she DOESN’T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THEN she SHOULD HAS DONE IT !
CORRECTION : ” …IF she DOESN’T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THEN she SHOULDN’T HAS DONE IT ! “
TLC the only fact we know is your failed implant plastic surgery……… you shouldn’t have done it! You look like a Viet Cong convict!
Jung kim, EVERYTHING I HAVE ARE REAL BABY
THE ONE THAT NEED PLASTIC SURGERY IS YOUR DARLING dina. WHO KNOWS, she MIGHT GET A DECENT HUSBAND AFTERWARD…..
TLC, now we all know……… you must be a woman! Sorry for the “rough” comments…I was thinking you were a man without balls.
IT’S ALRIGHT jung kim, WE ALL MADE MISTAKE ONE TIME OR ANOTHER…THE FUNNY THING IS THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT OF you TOO. I GUESS GREAT MIND THINK ALIKE
TLC, you are cool!
jung kim, you’RE FUNNNNY :p :p
Jung Kim,
Hey dude I just want to donate my photoshop skill to my noble viet candidates. Well, I think you are just jealous or just can’t face the facts. You reminded me of the sore losers Trung and Mike Schroeder. Show me some intelligence or logic reasoning beside the name calling.
Hey lop sided looney, instead of thinking of donating your un skilled photoshop abilities to others, why not work on your own pictures? Your face does need major touch ups in every angle.
If you still insist helping our noble candidates, I think Janet can use your service.
I am just getting tired of listening to my white friends that Janet is not too phpto-genic …………. mis- representing our beautiful viet women population.
we all know about Trung’s great photoshop achievement. What i’m wondering is, what does that mean about the trannies? are they a bunch of incompetent elected officials? What about Mr. Van Tran, couldn’t he find intelligent people to join his cause?
now recruiting: Camp Trannies
requirement: none, only need to obey Camp Master.
Liars Wanted
Photoshoppers Wanted
Airheaded Barbie-like Gals Wanted
Cheaters Wanted
“Equal Opportunity”-Gals Wanted
Women-Oppressors Wanted
Community-Sell-Outs Wanted
Oh, forget the photo shop expert!
Janet wants a real plasic surgeon or a Cal Tran engineer to improve her appearance.
As long as we are on the topic of beauty, Van Tran needs a liposuction, Trung Nguyen needs a facelift (photoshop won’t work judging from last time), Dina Nguyen needs some more plastic surgery.
Don’t forget Andrew Do-Do needs a lip botox so that he can smile more (no more constipated look in the newspaper), Nick Le Cong needs a new heart (so that he understands the word compassion), and Mr. Janet Tom Nguyen needs a new brain and some courage (self-explanatory). Oh, Janet also needs a new personality to boot (obvious).
This is funny but we do need to pick better looking woman in the 5th floor next time.
The problem with alot of you Vietnamese is you’re still fighting some very old war. The problem is through the so-called adults immaturity…the punks (sorry kids) become midget gangbangers. Because they are so small they run around with guns. Then they get life without parole. This is all you moronic immaturesad excuses for parents fault. Quit polluting this country and get out of it.
loottapoop, the problem is the infiltration of ignorant pro communist ideology followers and the family value destroying cholo culture losers in Bolsa Town.
Jung tell me do you have “small man’s complex”?
