'GARDEN GROVE snub irks HANOI'
Quote:
GARDEN GROVE's policy establishing a "no-communist zone" drew the ire of Vietnam's government, which said Thursday that the "recalcitrant" declaration viiolates the U.S. Constitution. Reuter reported.
City Leaders say the resolution, which discourages visits by Vietnamese communist officials and requires 14 day's notice so police services can be organized, is legally sound and doesn't stop private visits by Vietnamese officials.
Instead, it prevents public displays, such as motorcades, that could incite protests by Vietnamese-Americans, many of whom are political refugees, city leaders said.
GARDEN GROVE on Tuesday became the first U.S. City to approve such a policy.

Per GARDEN GROVE City Councilman VAN TRAN, Co-Author of this 'Communist-Free Zone' Resolution, regarding public visits by Communist Vietnam Leaders:
"It is a provocation," said councilman VAN TRAN, who came to southern California from Vietnam as a 10 year-old refugee. "They claim they want reconciliation with the Vietnamese community here but they drive through Little Saigon in motorcades with lights blazing and with motorcycle escorts as if they own the place."

Excerpt from Patrick Vuong article at OC Register
Thanks for the information!
Good.
Oh. I thought this was an article about "Hanoi Jane" Fonda.
Hey, Good Idea, AH! That oughta keep John Kerry out!
I grew up in Garden Grove. I couldn't be prouder.
The Vietnamese community hates Kerry. Hopefully, they will come out in great numbers and vote. Approximately, 500,000 Vietnamese live in California.

In early 1964 I left my Home Town GARDEN GROVE for the U.S. Army ...and the 1st Major Battles for FREEDOM of the Vietnam War.
40 years later ...the Fight for FREEDOM in Vietnam has indeed came home.

..56.. Cities & ..5.. States have now officially authorized their Vietnamese-American Communities to fly the Free Flag of Vietnam at their own Community Events next to America's Flag of Freedom.
..This to invalidate the Communist Flag that still flies over an enslaved Vietnam.
FREEDOM for VIETNAM
