I hear you on this. I don't see how that letter could be intimidating to anyone unless they were illegal. If they are legal residents or naturalized then whats the big deal throw the letter in the trash bin and be on your merry way. If you are illegal, however I see how it can be very intimidating that someone knows this and knows where you live.
I would vote against Arnold too. It is too bad he will either win or lose to a Democrat and it will only make California worse. Perhaps next time around a real Republican will run.

I, for the most part, agree with you. The only thing I saw in the letter was that it was not clear about people who once had been immigrants (and may still consider themselves immigrants) versus those that are presently immigrants. That said, the first sentence said if you are a citizen it is ok to vote. Our citizenry includes all who have become naturalized, so there is no problem with them voting the same as someone who was born here.
I see no "hate crime", but rather a warning to those who are not eligible to vote, which is the law of this land. A law I support.
If Tom McClintock wins the Lt Gov's race, he'll be well positioned for a run for Gov in 2010. Tom is, indeed, a real Republican.
