From the article:
Isabel Procopio, a janitor and volunteer for Strengthening Our Lives, said she was knocking on doors in Garden Grove on Saturday as part of a campaign to encourage voter participation. Of the 30 doors she approached, she found 10 residents who had received the letter. "Many people told me they are really afraid," she said. "They also said they were angry. I'm telling them not to let racist Republicans intimidate us."
Gustavo Arellano, the OC Weekly staffer who writes the syndicated "Ask A Mexican!" column, said the letter would generate a massive backlash among Latino voters, who would be galvanized to defeat Republicans in local elections in November.
Such excitement, huh? Who is doing the hating, I wonder . . .

I think there's a lot more to this that we're not seeing at the moment. It could get very interesting.

It never fails--
someone is there to capitalize on the moment. Bumperstickers, t-shirts, etc. In Spanish or English... a full menu.

Yes, Claremont. Northridge didn't sound quite right.

This story has stunk since day one! The GOP jumping all over the Republican candidate (even though he
was a Democrat 2 years ago). The rhetoric of "hate crimes" when there was nothing "hateful" about it (even if it violated the Voting Rights Act). The left mobilizing so quickly. Lockyer sending out his army to raid offices and homes (I don't remember
ever hearing of him doing that). The LAPD supposedly being involved in the letter scheme. Etc., etc. etc.
Time will tell! Hopefully they will actually release some facts!!!

Lockyer sending out his army to raid offices and homes (I don't remember ever hearing of him doing that). Yeah, what was up with Nguyen calling a news conference, not showing up and instead the cops show up to raid his offices. Someone made sure it would all be televised.

There's a Javier Gonzalez that just happens to own a website where you can buy t-shirts. Would the name Javier Gonzalez be a common one?

He scheduled the news conference but got preempted by the raids. The press came to see a news conference and instead got to peer in the windows as agents walked off with boxes and computers.
Some of the press made it sound like he ditched the news conference. I think he was just overwhelmed by events.

Frank Barbaro, The Chairman of the Democratic Party of Orange County talks with reporters.
-- Quote from Frank Barbaro when asked why he joined the crowd watching Tan Nguyen's campaign office being raided by officials today:
"If I was in early Rome, I would have gone to see the Christians being eaten."

The raid was timed for when the cameras would be there. How convenient.

if your residence in this country is illegal or you are an immigrant, voting in a federal election is a crime that could result in jail time Poorly written. If their point was to include all non-citizens then it should have read "illegal or non-citizen legal immigrant." Of course green-carded immigrants are also not eligible to vote, though naturalized immigrants are.
Arnold is an IDIOT to call this a hate crime.
