I emailed Rep. Cao to tell him that he is a GREAT AMERICAN!!
When I was an Army officer in Vietnam I must admit that my feelings towards the Vietnamese were racist, and my opinions were chauvinistic, etc. I have been continually astonished at what good Americans they have become. In fact I am for the most part ashamed of the present generation of Congress people who seem to have no clue about the Constitution, and no principles other than reelection. This man is a paragon.
It is remarkable that he won his district because New Orleans is primarily black and votes democrat. Since Katrina with downsizing of the black population he was able to win (and maybe people have wised up in New Orleans). They also have a large Vietnamese population in Eastern New Orleans. Before Katrina there was one Catholic church in the east with a congregation of 5,000. ( don't know the figure now). He is not in my district but I am glad New Orleans is finally getting a politician with morals and character - they need it.
