Sep./Oct./Nov. 1997
On September 18, with an official announcement pending of "overwhelming evidence" of voter fraud that victimized Congressman Bob Dornan, the House of Representatives voted to bar POW/MIA champion Dornan from the House floor until a proposal for a December special election is debated.
The ban, which is the first in the 200 year history of Congress, resulted when Dornan verbally challenged Rep. Robert Menendez, (D-NJ) who has led his party's effort to halt the investigation into the 1996 Orange County, California election of Loretta Sanchez Brixey who stole Dornan's Congressional seat through a massive registration of non-citizens and illegal aliens to vote for the "Latina" candidate.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus and Democratic Party have used the libelous central themes of "racism" and "anti-Hispanic" in their effort to cower Newt Gingrich and other Republican leaders.
Contrary to rumor, eyewitnesses claim that Dornan did use the words "coward" and "anti-Catholic," but did not physically intimidate or threaten Menendez.
During the August recess, congressional investigators from the House Oversight Committee led by Chair
an Bill Thomas (R-CA) were tasked with comparing around 5,000 names of non-citizens, primarily Mexicans and some Vietnamese who registered to vote in the 45th District of California, to the voting lists of the November 1996 election.
Dornan, whose lawyers and the California Attorney General's Office have already identified more than 400 bad votes, mostly through subpoenaed records of the radical Hermandad Mexicana organization. The Committee needs to identify only 600 additional illegal votes — less than 15% of the non-citizens who registered — to overcome the 984 margin of victory by Loretta Sanchez-Brixey. The ballots will remain secret which will prevent Dornan from being immediately reseated, requiring a special election, mostly likely in December, to resolve the vote fraud scandal.
While the Republican House leadership has been luke warm in openly supporting the reinstatement of Dornan, the Democratic Party has launched a full fledged offensive spearheaded by partisan unionists, Hispanic activists, the National Organization for Women, homosexual rights advocates and pro-Hanoi Vietnamese in Orange County.
Sanchez, who dropped her married name Brixey to play the race card for the election, has established a voting record of supporting ultra-liberal causes such as partial-birth abortion, and on June 14, 1997 she was a featured speaker at the homosexual Human Rights Campaign Gala in San Francisco.
Sanchez's support for the most vicious form of late-term abortion (where 8 or 9 month-old infants brains are sucked out by abortionists while leaving the mother's womb) and homosexual advocacy, detaches her from the mainstream values of the largely Catholic or evangelical Mexican-American community.
While her husband has dropped out of sight since convicted in court of stealing Dornan campaign posters, people are talking in Orange County about Sanchez's Clinton-style morals because of an alleged affair she was having with a local official. And recently, there are whispers that she allegedly had another affair with a member of Congress while on a Congressional delegation.
The relationship between Sanchez and the far left was consummated during the election when the pro-Sandinista organization, Neighbor to Neighbor, based in San Francisco and Washington, D.C., ran the Sanchez campaign get-out-the-vote effort that targeted the Hispanic community. "They made the difference," Sanchez told local reporters. "They are like a trained military. They know how to put volunteers onto the force." The Orange County Register described the Sanchez "stealth campaign:"
"While Sanchez said she was merely walking precincts, she actually had an army of volunteers from Neighbor to Neighbor step in to devise and coordinate programs to get occasional Hispanic voters to the polls."
With the help of other left-wing Hispanic organizations such as Hermandad Mexicana and labor unions, the "occasional voters" recruited for the Sanchez "army" included many who were not American citizens. The emphasis on targeting, largely Hispanic newcomers was launched by the White House under the Clinton Administration "Citizenship USA" program.
Clinton Administration documents obtained through subpoena by the Congress show that the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service was pressured by the White House to deputize community organizations such as Hermandad Mexicana to register one million aliens for citizenship to pad the Democratic Party's voter pool in areas such as New York, Chicago, Miami, Texas and southern California where large legal and illegal Hispanic aliens reside.
Subsequent Congressional findings estimated that around 180,000 aliens with criminal records, including rapists, drug and weapons dealers and suspected murderers were granted citizenship because the INS did not forward their records to the FBI for the required screening.
The deputized organizations and labor unions conducted citizenship drives, especially targeting absentee ballots, where proof of citizenship is not required.
INS officials in Los Angeles estimated that in Dornan's district around 500 criminal aliens granted citizenship may have voted, that is half the margin of the Sanchez victory. Under U.S. law, those votes should be rejected. However, the investigation process would take months to complete and is not being attempted.
Equally, important were inroads made by the Democrats in the district's Little Saigon, the largest population of Vietnamese in the United States. The Clinton Administration used, the private welfare agency, Vietnamese Community of Orange County, Inc. whose Director, Mrs. Mai Cong (nicknamed "Viet Cong"), was the only Vietnamese-American delegate to the Democratic Party Convention, in tandem with pro-Hanoi business people. Mai Cong's husband, Le Kim Dinh, a former wartime reporter for the anti-war New York Times, made public statements criticizing Dornan and claiming it was time to put the Vietnam war behind and, as Sanchez claimed, "to reach out" to the communist regime. Sanchez publicly stated that she would go to Vietnam with Bill Clinton to improve relations.
There are 2,000 small Vietnamese and Viet-Chinese owned business in Little Saigon. Of these, half pay rent to only one man, Frank Jao, 48, an ethnic Chinese who grew up in North Vietnam. He is reviled by many Vietnamese leaders in the area for his open advocacy of doing business with Hanoi, where he established his own businesses with rent money from his American-based tenants.
It was widely known in the district that a number of pro-Hanoi businessmen were supporting the anti-Dornan campaign. Dornan is seeking to find whether Frank Jao, like Johhny Chung of Campaign Gate fame, directly or indirectly contributed to the Sanchez campaign? The Little Saigon radio station which relies on advertising by the pro-Hanoi businesses repeatedly attacked Dornan as "not caring" about the Vietnamese while praising Sanchez who had no previous relationship with Vietnamese anywhere.
Prominent pro-freedom Vietnamese in the district believe that Vietnamese non-citizens who voted were most-likely registered or influenced by Mai Cong's organization. Although Dornan received easily won every precincts with Vietnamese residents, the 15 to 20 percent of Vietnamese who voted against him equaled the margin of victory for Sanchez.
As evidence mounts that Dornan was the victim of a substantial vote scam that involved non-citizens manipulated by activists groups such as Hermandad Mexicana and the Vietnamese Community of Orange County, Inc., the Democratic Party and their leftist allies have gone on the offensive.
Hispanic activists have staged mass demonstrations at the Los Angeles Times building to protest its reporting of vote scam, as well as inviting Latino activists from across the United States to demonstrate at Congressional field investigation hearings.
The House Hispanic Congress has staged press conferences and issued numerous press releases accusing the investigation as "racist" and "anti-Hispanic." Female Members of the House, supported by Minority Leader Dick Gephart have pledged to "shut down the House," if vote fraud is confirmed.
And in order to manipulate racial politics in case of a special election, labor unions and Hispanic organizations have formed the Orange County Community Forum to "encourage voting and civic involvement" of Hispanic, black, Arab, Asian and Jewish residents of the county.
If vote fraud is finally confirmed by the House Oversight Committee, in order to run a strong campaign in October and November to recover his Congressional seat, Dornan will require strong financial and organizational support by American veterans — especially Hispanic-American veterans — pro-life organizations and pro-freedom Vietnamese.
The outcome of Dornan's challenge will set a precedent for Constitutional sanctity of the right to vote by American citizens. For concerned veterans and families of POW/MIAs, given the lack of assertiveness and skill by the current Congress against the political sabotage conducted by lawmakers such as John McCain and John Kerry, Bob Dornan's fate will determine whether the truth about missing American prisoners who were last known alive in communist hands is buried forever.
Perhaps that is the real reason a majority in Congress were willing to set precedence by voting to bar POW/MIA champion Dornan from the House floor .
