Subject: Request to revoke intend-to-meet permit granting Supervisor Janet Nguyen

Madam and Sirs,

My name is Nguyen Hung, a Vietnamese American Activist, Freelance Journalist/Reporter also member of Tet Parade Foundation. My business is located in Westminster city.

I am here, tonight to request the Westminster City Councils to revoke the “Intent-to-meet permit” which was granted to Supervisor Janet Nguyen. Reasons for this request is false or mislead information on the application. In the past, there is no Black April event ever holding the crowd of less than 500 people, especially at Vietnam War Memorial. Black April commemoration also is not an event to keep all VIP have to keep their mouth shut, I meant no sound permit.

I know that in trying to resolve the matter, City Manager Don Lamm and Police Chief Mitch Waller have worked very hard. I am also aware that the City of Westminster is facing a tough decision on this controversy. As you know all the efforts are failed. Why, I am here to tell you and clearly clarify that Black April commemoration is the event of Vietnamese Community and it should be left to the community to resolve internally.

Nobody, even elected official, can step in and take over this event from Vietnamese Community. We’ve suffered too much after April 30th, 1975 following the Fall of Saigon. Many soldiers died in Vietnam War, many people died on the sea, in the jungles, prison camps and so many families were ruined afterward. We, Vietnamese community, organize this event together every year to remember those who lost their lives for us to be here today. This is a Vietnamese event, so no one can claim or organize this event as an individual regardless who they are. Since Tony Lam, the first Vietnamese-American became elected official as councilman until today, there are many other Vietnamese American elected officials like Van Tran, Joseph Cao, Hubert Vo, Janet Nguyen, Hoang Duy Hung, Dina Nguyen, Andrew Do, Andy Quach, Tri Ta, Tyler Diep and so on. But there is no one has stepped up, I repeat no one ever step in to claim this event from Vietnamese Community, except Supervisor Janet Nguyen who used her elected official position for her political gain purpose.

Supervisor Janet Nguyen got our tax money when she ordered her employee Matthew Harper to use his administrative working time as Orange County salaried employee to file the application for this event on April 30. I believe this event is not on the Orange County Supervisor Board’s official event calendar. So I strongly request Supervisor Janet Nguyen to withdraw her application and return it, the Black April Commemoration, back to our community.

This is not threat, but as Vietnamese American voters, we will use our voting power in the next election. We may lose this event today, but we will tell the world by our decision on election days in the future. Last week, Andy Hung Xuan Nguyen won County Commissioner seat in Tarrant county Texas from an incumbent lady.

Thank you very much for your attention. God bless America and all of us.

I am not here to satisfy you bitch. How’s that SOB?

You are a Viet hater and all Viets condemn your ass bitch! I am not My Nho but if you want to think so ….. Whatever bitch.

Your daddy should bitch slap you just like Mafia boss Janet Nguyen got bitch slapped by the Viet community. You have that same air of a whiner and groaner.

Keep getting pissed off and keep guessing who I am. I don’t care who you are.

All I read from you is hating this and hating that Vietnamese. You are the type of Viet who likes to tear things down. You have not said one constructive postive thing on his blog. People like you should be treated with contempt and condemnation!
