"Clarification" letter sent to Hispanics (Tan Nguyen, MALDEF, NCLR, NALEO)

california secretary of state mcpherson maldef nclr naleo

Secretary of State Bruce McPherson's office has sent a letter to the 14,000 people who had been sent the Tan Nguyen letter. It's good that he's clearing things up. It's not so good that he's carrying the water - in an official state document under the California state seal - for far-left groups that support illegal immigration. From the PDF file with the letter:

The official election information letter, in English and Spanish, was mailed by the Secretary of State's Office in collaboration with the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) and the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO).

Why is the Secretary of State "in collaboration with" far-left groups, at least two of which have supported illegal immigration in the past? Isn't this in effect an endorsement of those group's agendas? The SoS didn't really need any others to be involved, but if they were going to enter into collaborations shouldn't they have also sought out more conservative Hispanic groups that haven't supported illegal immigration?

Why is the State of California carrying these groups' water?

I called the number given in the letter trying to get answers and I was told that the person listed would call me back. If anyone has better luck, let me know.

UPDATE: The MSM hacks who've discussed this story have not once to my knowledge offered a legal analysis of the letter from qualified experts. Hopefully eventually someone will do that, and they might even be able to answer whether this "Memorandum of Agreement" regarding the "Help America Vote Act" ("HAVA") qualifies as the computerized match system mentioned in the original letter: usdoj.gov/crt/voting/hava/ca_moa.htm

Also, Bruce McPherson is up for re-election on Nov. 7, and I'm reluctantly urging everyone to vote for Debra Bowen. She's the only one with a chance to beat him, and as the letter he sent shows he is unfit for office. If you can't bring yourself to do that, choose anyone else from this list.

I'm sure all those non-state entities (MALDEF, NCLR, NALEO) have endorsed candiates and are sending our mail in collusion with that official Secretary of State letter presenting a biased endorsement of partisan candidates by a state official.

This whole sorry episode raises the question of to what extent candidates are free to campaign without being overseen and threatened by federal and state security forces.
If a letter doing little more than citing certain laws of the United States can cause this kind of massive investigation what remains of the deomcratic process in the US may be in jeopardy. With this kind of crap going on isn't it easy to envision a future where all campaign literature must be submitted for approval to the FBI before distribution so it can be examined for signs of racism, subtle ethnic bias, not-so-subtle ethnic bias, non-progressive homophobia, etc.

what a political joke, a mexican fighting with a chinese low life. but it is the future of this non country and its fun to watch it fall-apart.

buy guns, be free, think free, live free, it is all about civilization and the rule of laws, and the lower races can't understand that rule of laws, just look at the places that both came from. by the way it was la raza or mecha who sent this b.s. and aliens can't vote.
