The last round of redistricting deliberations has split Little Saigon into two Congressional districts – and then splits the Viet vote even further by putting Fountain Valley into a third district.
This is good news for the incumbent in the 47th Congressional District, Loretta Sanchez, who now will barely have much of Little Saigon in her [...]

Posted by Admin on June 12th, 2011
Congressman Dana Rohrabacher currently represents California’s 46th Congressional District. The District stretches along the Pacific coastline of Orange County and Los Angeles – and includes part of Southwest Santa Ana.
Rohrabacher is known for his crazed rants and his early support for the Taliban, back when they were called the Mujaheddin and they were fighting the Soviets. He [...]

Posted by Admin on June 8th, 2011
Last year former Assemblyman Van Tran and Supervisor Janet Nguyen were forced by OC GOP party leaders to bury the hatchet as Nguyen endorsed Tran in his campaign against Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez. As you can see in the picture above, Nguyen wasn’t very excited about their deal. Next year might be an entirely different story.

Van Tran forgets Viet and Latino voters in new campaign mailer
Posted by Admin on June 6th, 2010
Leave it to Republican Assemblyman Van Tran to have no clue as to who lives in the 47th Congressional District. Tran is running in the GOP primary in the 47th, against Tan Nugyen and Katherine Smith. The winner will face off against incumbent Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez in November.
But Tran’s new campaign mailer leaves out any [...]
Is it a giant waste of time to work on the Loretta Sanchez re-election campaign?
Posted by Admin on May 29th, 2010
A friend of mine sent out an anxious Facebook comment the other day, begging folks in Santa Ana to help re-elect Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.
Does Sanchez really need to worry – in an uncontested primary? Wouldn’t we be better off helping other good candidates in central Orange County?
For example, Phu Nguyen is running for the 68th [...]

Posted by Admin on April 20th, 2010
Are you wondering who is putting up all those “Dump Sanchez” signs all over Santa Ana?
Wonder no longer. The signs belong to disgraced anti-Latino Republican congressional candidate Tan Nguyen.
I verified this by conducting a query via Godaddy.com. They list Tan Nguyen as the owner of www.dumpsanchez.com.

Tan Nguyen and Van Tran used to be homies!
Well, businessman and former U.S. Marine Quang Pham decided not to run this year for the 47th Congressional District, but guess who did turn in his papers today and qualified for the ballot? None other than Tan Nguyen, the Republican who got him a world of hurt [...]
