What to Consider for Your Vote?
There have been a lot of discussions in many WeChat groups on whom to vote in D28. While I respect everyone's opinion and decision, I would like to share a bit of mine here.
When we try to decide our vote, we need to ask ourselves a question: what are the most critical factors to be considered? Is it the skin color of a candidate? Is it the race background? Is it the personal relationship? Is it the party? Or ultimately, is it the CORE VALUE?
I have seen a lot of arguments applying the skin color or the race background as the very SOUND REASON to decide one candidate over the other. Well, if these two things are that important, no wonder we have SCA5 on the table!
I got worried if we, Chinese American group, limit ourselves in the "Chinese Politics" type of thinking. In the past few months, the mainstream media has taken the freedom to "bad-mouth" us, as a small "selfish" group, who has been whining so loud to protect our own very "narrow-minded" interest. Moreover, we have also seen how easy the Dem party can just shut their own senates' mouths up.
SCA5 cannot be stopped by just us;
SCA5 cannot be stopped unless we get support from different racial groups who share the same CORE VALUE as us, the value that has inspired Americans for many many years: no discrimination to ANY, equal opportunity, fair competition, hard work reward, etc;
SCA5 cannot be stopped unless we elect someone who has sufficient political wisdom to know how to get allies to make his/her belief fly high, instead of fighting alone and lonely.
I cherish the opportunity to share my thoughts with all of you.
BTW, for those who would like to support Chuck Page, the AD28 republican candidate running for state assembly, (does not matter whether you are a citizen/greencard holder or not, does not matter whether you are within AD28 district or not) you are welcome to join his volunteer group (by scanning the barcode below) or show your support through contribution
