I live in the 47th congressional district, specifically Anaheim.
Loretta Sanchez isn't even from this district. Before she was elected, she lived in LA County,in an affluent area of Long Beach known as Bixby Knolls. She moved into the highly hispanic area of Garden Grove/Santa Ana because she knew that she could garner the hispanic vote. (the fact that hispanics would vote for only hispanics is racist...but thats another whole topic).
Since the 47th district is a democratic moajority, I am registered as a Liberterian (think shrink the fed govt) and have been voting my party line. However, this flap over an innoculous, information letter has me incensed.
I will definitely vote for Tan Nguyen. I urge anybody in the 47th to take note of what is happening before our very eyes... we are losing this area to an agressive and determined group of non-americans determined to take back the area that they claim was stolen from them.
Anyone living in the 47th understands that this whole area has degenerated into a third world country. Abandoned shopping carts, walls with graffiti, trashy streets, bi-lingual signs, over-crowded apartments with no street parking available, and 80% of the students getting free school breakfast and lunch.
Yup, welcome to Norte California
Before she was elected,....she had an Anglo name. What it was, I don't remember. She changed it to pander to the Hispanic vote.
