An
Open Letter to The San Jose City Leadership Ignoring
all her wrongdoings including the violation of the Brown Act, the violation
of the Sun Shine Ordinance, making back room deals, claiming fake silent
majority to mislead people, introducing a bogus petition containing
false signatures, insulting people, disrespecting the will of the majority;
Mayor Reed, the City Council, the Labor Union, and special-interest
groups supported her . Mayor Chuck Reed stood staunchly by her because
he would need her vote in the City Council for his proposals. City Council
Members supported her because they did not want to set a precedence
that, with the same work mentality as hers, can force any one
of them out of office
CONTINUE..............................................................................................................................................  RIGHT
TO LIE.
In other words, Doyle thinks anyone has a constitutional right to lie
freely at a public forum. (Memo to politicians: Whew!)
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. Letter sent to District Attorney asking to conduct a full investigation into the fraudulent nature of the petition which includes a list of 92 business owners, submitted by Mr. Henry Le on March 4, with the intent of transgressively influencing the council's decision.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. List of Businesses Signed Letter of Declaration. Stating that they never signed this “petition” (against “Little Saigon”) and that their signatures were grafted onto this petition without their consent, or that their signatures were forged.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. Letter sent by SJVFD and VACNORCAL, to the San Jose Rules and Open Committee on Mar. 10-2008, to request: (1) Full investigation to the petition of 92 business owners (used by Councilman Liccardo for his substitute motion on March 4 meeting) (2) An emergency council meeting to resolve the issue.
CONTINUE..............................................................................................................................................  Pandemonium
at City Hall. The petition was
given to the council by Huong Le, a man claimed to be the co-founder
and co-owner of the Lee’s Sanchwiches franchise. To emphasize the point,
Liccardo called Huong Le to the speaker’s stand and asked him how he
obtained this petition.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. SJVFD's Press Realese dated: Mar. 10-2008. The “petition” by 92 business owners, used by Councilman Sam Liccardo as the exclusive basis for his “alternative motion” leading to the adoption of Resolution 74270, has been proven to be fraudulent.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. Letter to San Jose Council to demand a full investigation. The most alarming aspect comes from Councilmember Nguyen deleting or intentionally omitting these emails when we requested them from her Office. If she has nothing to hide, then why did she and her staff delete or omit these relevant emails?
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. The Heights of Hypocrisy, Hubris, and Chutzpah. Reed and Nguyen have underestimated the community. Both have been consumed and blinded by arrogance of power, and have forgotten that it is human to error and that they like the rest of us are fallible. However, it is no less human and noble to admit one’s mistakes and to correct those mistakes. But to some there are no limits to the heights of hypocrisy, hubris, and chutzpah.
CONTINUE..............................................................................................................................................  Little
Saigon, A Name With Honor by
JOHN ZAMORA, Former President of San Jose Mexican American Political
Association-Former President of Story Road Business Association.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. Little Saigon & Tropicana: A Tale of Two Communities. What have we learned since May 2001, when the Tropicana ordeal started in District 7 ? Do we still believe in  the
democracy and law that are the foundation of our nation ? Or, do we
continue to act as a young woman named Marie Antoinette once told the
hungry people of Paris who have no bread to eat, “Let them eat cake.”

CONTINUE..............................................................................................................................................  TRICKERY
AND DECEPTION
Open
Letter to Mayor Chuck Reed, Councilwoman Madison Nguyen, and the entire
San Jose City Council from LY TONG,
Hunger Striker - Freedom Fighter.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. Lesson learned: 'Little Saigon' more than just a name-FOR MANY, PHRASE IS SHORTHAND FOR 'FREEDOM' by Dave Cortese, SJ Vice Mayor.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. SJVFD's Press Realese dated: Feb. 19-2008.
CONTINUE..............................................................................................................................................   Interviewed
with SJ Vice Mayor Dave Cortese, AM1430
Radio Station, Feb. 11-2008.

.............................................................................................................................................. Letter to former Mayor McEnery regarding Madison's and Chuck's Memorandum.
CONTINUE
.............................................................................................................................................. SJVFD's Press Realese dated: Feb. 14-2008.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. Memorandum from Councilmember Kansen Chu & Councilmember Pete Constant, dated: Feb. 11-2008.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. Memorandum from Mayor Chuck Reed & Councilmember Madison Nguyen, dated: Feb. 12-2008.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. “Little Saigon” Battle: Subtle Aspect of Democracy. We saw Tropicana problem under Mayor Gonzales. We now see Little Saigon problem in the early year of Mayor Reed. What will be next ?.
CONTINUE
.............................................................................................................................................. San Jose mayor calls for "Saigon" investigation.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. Protesters Just Exercising Rights. The San Jose City Council and Councilwoman Madison Nguyen underestimated the strong symbolism of “Little Saigon.” Instead of correcting the mistake and conceding to the name, they have dug in their heels and are now attempting to blame the Vietnamese community.
CONTINUE
.............................................................................................................................................. A Humble Request from A San Jose Resident. George Orwell wrote a famous sentence: “... political language makes lies sound truthful”. That is the root of all evil and disturbances in the society. I wish the City Council a year of smooth activities and successful businesses.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. “Demand Letter” sent to SJ Mayor Chuck Reed and Members of the City Council City of San Jose.
CONTINUE..............................................................................................................................................  Letter
to Santa Clara County Democratic Party. It
is ironic that the very cause for the call for a Vote of No Confidence
in Councilmember Nguyen is largely due to the undemocratic act committed
by her and the San Jose City Council; yet the Democratic Party
has now come out to oppose a democratic process to deal with an
elected official who no longer receives the confidence of her constituents.
CONTINUE
..............................................................................................................................................  Letter
to Josh Molina-SJ Mercury News.
We feel we must respond
to Josh Molina's January 9 reporting of our City Hall protest
on January 8, because this is the most unfair article he has written
in a series of biased reporting about us.
CONTINUE
.............................................................................................................................................. A CASE AGAINST LITTLE SAIGON. “It is ironic but a year ago, there was a huge banner in front of GI Forum by some members of the Hispanic community that said Madison does not represent District 7 and the Mexican American community.”
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. TIMELINE Madison Nguyen: Her Controversies and the Story Behind Saigon Business District.
CONTINUE
..............................................................................................................................................  A
Dialogue with Councilmember Nguyen - Let's Help Each Other to Understand.
We
are united, not just in San Jose, but everywhere in California, and
in the U.S. in this fight to clean up the San Jose City Council and
restore democracy to the city of San Jose.
CONTINUE
.............................................................................................................................................. Letter to San Jose Mayor Reed and Council Members from Minh Q. Steven Dovan, Esq. There is a fervent and overwhelming belief in the community that there were deals made behind the scene to get Ms. Nguyen's motion passed, i.e., Quid-Pro-Quo arrangements.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. Lost in Translation - The LITTLE SAIGON Conflict. The community in District 7 feels strongly that instead of reaching to the community leaders in the first place in private channels, she chose to challenge them on a public stage as a way to punish and embarrass them. They see her as a polarizing figure in the community.
CONTINUE.............................................................................................................................................. The Little Saigon is A Big Deal. If Vietnamese were as adaptive and reflective of pop culture as English is, this past week “Madison Nguyen” might have become a new Vietnamese idiom meaning to be betrayed by someone who you supported wholeheartedly.
CONTINUE
.............................................................................................................................................. Letter to San Jose Mayor Reed and Council Members from Barry Hung Do. Tuesday, November 20th, 2007 was the historical day for both the Vietnamese-American community in San Jose and the City Council of second largest Viet émigrés city in the world. The voters and media had witnessed the most undemocratic act ever performed by the majority of San Jose Council members.
