The house received an advertisement for Paul Fong, an incumbent running for the Sate Assembly, District 28. It is in both Chinese and English, paid for by a PAC supposedly not associated with Fong or his campaign. (the Asian American Small Businesss PAC FPPC ID#1276929) I don't think it is a fake, intended to discredit him. Rather, the group sincerely believes that he has done a good thing for pushing Assembly Concurrent Resolution, No. 42 (pdf), in which California "officially" apologizes for past discrimination of Chinese[-Americans].
California apologizes to Chinese Americans for past discrimination
It's clearly an example of grievance politics. The Chinese were not enslaved, like the Africans who were brought to America. The contributions made by Chinese immigrants and Chinese Americans to the State of California are recognized. They were willing tools for the expansion of the American-state; this is not something of which we should be proud. They came seeking to make a better living; it should somewhat be expected then that as foreign labor that they would be paid less (why else would they be hired) and discriminated against (they weren't valued for their own sake, but only to increase the wealth of those employing them).
At best it can be said that we should be proud of the contributions of Chinese[-Americans] to the advances made in science and technology. But what of the moral and political aspects of civilization? What have Chinese-Americans done for culture?
In the sample ballot/voter's information booklet I learn that he was one of the legislators responsible for the law that was passed requiring that the teaching of California history include LGBT individuals. Pandering to LGBT Californians and liberals? Then again, he is a Democrat.
Contemptible.
More proof that if Chinese assimilate, most eventually assimilate to the liberal Uhmerican mindset?
(There is a rumor that he is Catholic, but the source of this information is questionable.)
The "top two candidates open primary act," Proposition 14, was passed in 2010. A sad display of stupidity on the part of those who voted for it. All 'partisan' offices are now 'voter-nominated' offices. While this may seem to benefit independent candidates, it doesn't, since it is likely that they will be excluded from the November ballot. It reinforces the monopoly (not even a duopoly given the preference of the major population areas for the Dems).
This state deserves what it gets.
