About this Event
In my capacity as the President of the Orange County lodge of the Chinese American Citizens Alliance, as well as the founder and president of Southern California’s Asian Industry B2B, it is my honor to endorse our incumbent Assemblyman, Steven Choi for California’s 68th Assembly District.
身为华裔美国公民联盟(CACA)橙县分会主席，以及Asian Industry B2B的创始人和总裁，我很荣幸地为加州第68众议院选区的现任议员Steven Choi进行背书。
A Strong Voting Record
While this may seem like a no-brainer for our organization which supports pro-family and pro-business values, we would also like to highlight the importance of a thorough rock-solid voting record supporting legislation that furthers these values, over many years. In this day and age, lawmakers have fallen in line to support terrible legislation such as AB-5, which severely limits the opportunities of part-time 1099 workers (the “gig” economy) and imposes unnecessary burdens on already-burdened businesses, or SB-277, which tramples on parental rights and health freedom by the promotion of aggressive vaccination schedules, or AB-329, which removes parental ability to set limits around children’s sexual education in public schools and AB-1482, which places restrictive chains on property owners. This type of legislation has received solid voting on the side of liberty from our incumbent, Steven Choi, who consistently votes against the overreach of government. We see no current alternative in the field that will be an upgrade.
强有力的投票记录
在我们这个支持家庭和支持商业的组织眼里，通过立法投票来体现自己价值观是很自然的事，但我们仍然想跟大家强调，立法者多年来立场坚定一致的投票记录至关重要。现今，某些立法者已经打破底线去支持一些可怕的法案，比如AB-5, 严重限制兼职打工者（“零工经济”）的工作机会、给已经负担沉重的企业带来更多重负；或SB-277，推行过于激进的疫苗接种安排，践踏父母权利和健康自由; 或AB-329, 剥夺家长干预儿童在公立学校里被动接受激进性教育的权利；还有AB-1482，限制房产拥有者根据市场供需情况上调租金的权利。我们现任的众议员Steven Choi则一直坚定地反对此类型法案, 总是投票反对政府试图把手伸得过长，尽力保障民主自由。迄今AD68选区内，没有人能比他做得更好。
Solid Homegrown Experience & Track Record
Steven also has a great track record from local government to his current position in the State Assembly and over the years, has maintained integrity and good relationships with people around him. We cannot understate how important this is, as I have seen so many newcomers to politics exhibit the worst of humanity in their first campaigns. These rookie mistakes are embarrassing and damning to a person’s character, as they engage in false delusions of grandeur, down to promises of quid pro quo with power they don’t even currently possess, something I have observed in some candidates and campaigns this cycle, drunk on ego. I have no tolerance for this behavior and this has made my endorsement of Steven even more urgent. That said, for many years, Steven has exhibited none of the typical ego of many politicians, and remains down to earth and possesses a clear understanding of his role as a public servant, as well as exhibiting high ethical standards in the way he conducts himself in public and with the community. Experience and a track record matter in these urgent times, when one party has supermajority control and the minority checks and balances party needs solid fighters with as few unknowns as possible. Steven is a principled fighter and it is not time to switch him out for any other challenger, Republican or Democrat.
扎实的本地经验及业绩
无论是地方政府还是到州众议院任职，Steven都有着良好的工作业绩，多年来，他一直保持着自己的诚实正直，并与周围的人保持了良好的关系。我们不能低估这方面的重要性，因为我已经看到许多政治新人在他们的第一次竞选中就表现出最糟糕的人性。这些令人尴尬的菜鸟级错误把一个人品行的恶劣暴露无遗，他们早早陷入虚妄的张狂自大，甚至在自己还未曾掌握权力之际，随意空许根本无法实现的承诺，我在本轮的一些候选人和竞选活动中都观察到了这一点，他们过分沉醉于自我膨胀了。我不能容忍这种行为，这使我对Steven的支持更加迫切。就是说，多年来，Steven从未表现出许多政客身上典型的自大自负，而是保持着脚踏实地的姿态，对自己身为公务员的角色有着清晰的认识，在对待公众和社区的行为方式上，则展现了很高的道德水准。在紧急时局下，经验和过往业绩是至关重要的判断依据，尤其当一个政党拥有立法系统的绝对多数控制权时，少数派制衡政党需要那些含尽可能少未知数的坚定战士来支撑。Steven是一名有原则的战士，现在不是背弃他而转投其他挑战者的时候，无论对手是共和党人或民主党人。
Chinese Voter Education
This early endorsement comes also as a wakeup call to my brothers and sisters in the Chinese community. The Chinese communities in Southern California are characterized by low voter turnout and overall tepid registration. Both my organizations work tirelessly towards an important goal of educating voters on the issues and the overall American political system. Many are coming from China, not understanding how the structure works, or the power and responsibility they possess with their vote. Every bubble is important. We have a duty to care about what we bubble in on our ballots, and our mission is not a race to register as many voters as possible, but to increase depth of understanding and nuance of the issues.
华裔选民教育
提前对Steven Choi做出背书也是对我华裔兄弟姐妹们的一种警醒。 南加州华裔社区的特点是投票率低和总体上寥寥可数的注册选民数量。 我所属的两个组织都在孜孜不倦地对选民进行有关重要议题和美国整体政治制度方面的教育，这是我们的重要工作目标。 许多人来自中国，他们不了解美国政治结构的运作方式，也不了解自身在投票中所拥有的权力和责任。 每个选项都很重要。 我们有责任去关心自己在选票上所做出的选择，而我们的使命不是要争取尽可能多的选民登记，而是要加深对议题的理解和细微差别。
Voting Chinese Without Vetting Candidates
Therefore, we warn everyone in the community, in Orange County and cities in the San Gabriel Valley with high Chinese immigrant populations, not to fall for a candidate that says “Vote for me because I’m Chinese” without any serious assessment and vetting. Understand the difference between the candidates’ platforms, but also their desire to educate. The ideal candidate should give you the tools and education to become more politically astute, not keep the Chinese in the dark through dismissing questions and acting like they know better (“leave the details to me”). This is a recipe for future corruption, as California has already demonstrated with a one-party state that keeps curtailing liberties because of voter apathy and one party allegiance. Examining our values requires thoughtful grappling of the issues and the goal is for the Chinese community to care. The more you understand, the more you care.
对华裔候选人不经审查就“看脸投票”
因此，我们敬告橙县和圣盖博谷大量中国移民聚居地的华裔社区中的每个人，切勿轻信那些大言不惭高喊“我是华裔，你就应该为我投票”的候选人，而不对他们认真加以评估和审核。 要多去了解候选人们竞选纲领之间的差异，以及他们是否有意愿对支持者进行分享和教育。好的候选人应该授人以渔，引导支持者对政治的理解更加明晰，而不是通过回避提问和避重就轻地含混应付（“细节只有我知道”），而把把华裔支持者局限于盲人摸象的黑暗境地。这就是未来腐败的滋生土壤。加州已经是一党独大了，由于选民的漠不关心，民主自由正在日渐削弱。检验我们的价值观需要对议题认真思考，其目的是让华裔开始关心。你懂的越多，你就会越发关心。
Character
We must also assess the character of our candidates, and observe how they run their campaigns, how they manage money, and how they deal with their peers. These data points give a window to our candidates and allow us to make good decisions on how they will act when power is given to them as they head off to Sacramento as our representative. If at a campaign level, they cannot demonstrate humility and integrity, a desire to build bridges, to educate, to focus on what matters, to stay professional and productive, and to avoid the “politics as usual” games, then they may actually be reflecting dictatorial “politics as usual” in China, instead of traditional Chinese values of morality, discipline, mentorship, cooperation and harmonious relations. We must select a candidate who lives and breathes liberty and democracy, which means a heart for mentorship and educating communities instead of a hierarchical mindset. I stress to always vote our values first and the betterment of the America that most of us now call home. These values can be furthered by a Korean, a Caucasian, a Hispanic, it does not matter.
性格
我们还必须评估候选人的性格，观察他们如何开展竞选活动，如何管理竞选资金，以及如何与同伴们打交道。这些观察数据让我们更好地了解候选人，并帮助我们更准确地判断将来这些人民的代表入驻州府、大权在握的时候，他们会如何行为及表现。如果在竞选层面他们尚不能表现出谦卑和诚实，不希求建设友谊，不愿教育团队，不能关注真正重要的事，无法保持专业和高效，以及不避免玩弄“政治权术”的游戏，那么从这些候选人身上折射出的，很可能是中国式独裁的“政治常态”，而非道德自律、诲人不倦、合作和谐等中国传统价值观。我们必须选择一个没了自由和民主就无法活下去的候选人，这就意味着他必须具备一颗指导和教育社区、愿意带领众人一起成长进步的心，而非抱守自己的统治阶级观念。我始终强调，投票要奉行理念为先，要把美国的进步放在第一位，毕竟我们大多数人都把美国视为自己的家园。只要认同其价值观，投票给韩裔、白人、或者西裔，都挺好。
After watching campaigns for the 68th district in both the Republican and Democrat field over the last year, we are proud to endorse Steven Choi, as the only candidate with the integrity and solid background to represent us.
在仔细观察了加州68众议员选区、共和民主两党几位候选人一年来竞选情况之后，我们骄傲地对Steven Choi做出背书，因为他是该选区里唯一诚实可信赖的、具扎实功底、能够代表我们的候选人。
诚挚的 Sincerely,
Marc Ang

- Earning the right to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
- Providing fun, adventurous, life-changing and skill-building experiences.
- Inviting kids to personally respond to the Good News and walking in friendship with them regardless of their response.
- Preparing kids for a life-long relationship with Christ and a love for His word, His mission and the local church.
- Working in community alongside like-minded adults (volunteer leaders, committee members, donors and staff).
Our Values
- The Gospel — Living according to and communicating the whole gospel of Jesus Christ.

In response to the CG’s challenge, and with some guidance from the Regimental Commander, a group of retired Marines from 11th Marines began the process to establish such a site.
