"In an interview with Alejandro Sanchez of La Cronica newspaper of Mexico City, Fabian Nunez said that he is ready to wage political war on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger if he continues implementing policies that targets immigrants and "Californios". It looks like Alta California is going to see lots of fireworks in Sacramento next year."
"I have already personally declared political war on Schwarzenegger . . . that is the reason I was elected by my supporters..."

"...Fabian Nunez was mentored by Bert Corona, a Marxist firebrand... in 1994, Nunez told the Los Angeles Times that “Latino workers are the modern-day slaves of Southern California”..."
