What a victory day. Next time we should shoot for Fresno County Board
of Supervisor and may be State Assembly too. Look at Blong Xiong with
over 4000 votes. That's way too low for his district. How many Hmong
voters are in his district? Hmongs need to be more active than that.
It's a good start. Let's make it a more excite next time. May be next
time Tony or Blong can run for State Assembly. Look at the Vietnamese
in the Little Saigon areas. They are even running for U.S Congress.

Don't worried about other asian ameicans shooting for "BIG" positions
in the political arena. In time, we'll get there one step at a time.
Our time will come....

First...don't take BIG steps, knowing your strength before you jump may
save you being off balanced, however, taking too small of a step isn;t
good either. The steps Hmong american are taking now is just
PERFECT....When Hmong American ready to rise to take BIGGER
challenges/roles, it'll naturally happens. We'll be here for many
generations to come...if we don;t send someone to congress or state
capital governor's office in this life time, our children will and so
on....

Yog los khiav no yeej muaj feem cuam chance li ntawm 40%% rov saum lawm

nyiaj noj lawm. Thaum ub kuv ua commissioner tsuas tau nqi roj xwb. Ua

Cov career poilticians yuav tau muab yus qhov background mus nrog lawv
sib ntswj thiab thiaj paub tias ua kasmoos yuav tsum tau ua ncaj npaum
