[My hat is off to the individual who composed the letter.]
 
 
Intimidation of legal immigrant citizen voters is not acceptable in a Republic where the rule of law allegedly still exists.
 
In fact, it's so not acceptable that it's against the law.  It's illegal.
 
 
I have no problem with informing those who do not have the right to vote that it is a crime for them to vote.  If that's all that had happened then I'd be backing this guy up - but that's not what happened.
 
 
I do have a problem with people who don't take responsibility for their actions. That's the light I see this guy in.
 
 
"Yes, we sent the letter.   There was a problem with translation.   It's not what I intended and I didn't write it but this is my campaign and I take responsibility for it.   Now let me explain what I really wanted the letter to say...."
 
How hard would that have been?
 
Instead, we get reflexive evasion.
 
We've got plenty of people with that talent in congress already.  It's good that this one was discovered before he got in.  It saves us  the trouble of booting him out.  
 
Don't worry.   I'm sure he'll have a fine career in the used-car industry.

Four obviuos problems with the response.

1) The letter, as sent, didn't intimidate citizens. Citizens were excluded in the first sentence.

2) The letter, as sent, didn't have a problem with translation. The translation problem arose when the MSM conveniently mistranslated emigrado as immigrant. The largest Spanish language daily in LA even changed the word emigrado to inmigrado in their editorial about the matter.

3) The contents of the letter were reasonably accurate, including the computer system reference, and as time marches on, it becomes increasingly obvious that distributing the letter wasn't illegal.

4) The candidate's campaign, legally the candidate himself, dramatically asserts he didn't compose, translate or distribute the letter and to date, no one has refuted that claim through the hundreds of willing and anxious publishers that are available.

In fact, California needs more congressional representation with respect for our civil codes and our sovereignty than it currently enjoys. California needs to send similar letters to newly registered voters, with Hispanic surnames who were born outside the US during each election cycle and needs to begin prosecuting and deporting the offenders. Those voting illegally need to be repeatedly intimidated

According to statistical probability the recipients of the letter at the center of this controversy were 1) naturalized citizens, 2) resident aliens, 3) illegal aliens, 4) non resident aliens and 5) the child of at least one US citizen. In a prior congressional race in this district the margin of victory was less than 1000 votes while 700 votes were documented to have been illegally cast by aliens. 700 would represent about 5% of those who received the letter and 5% is no where near the suspected level of illegally registered alien voters in that category.
