Blue America Profiles Congressional Candidate Jay Chen

Jay Chen is a dynamic and smart Democratic candidate for Congress who has Ed Royce so afraid that Royce cancels appearances where Chen will be and Royce refused to debate Chen least he give voters in North Orange County any reason to doubt why they should return Royce to Congress.  Blue America profiled Chen this week and you can read the entire post here.

From the post:

Jay’s opponent is Ed Royce, who represents a neighboring district in Orange County but is trying to make the move to Jay’s area. That’s a problem for him because he’s made a career of exactly two things: serving the interests of the Big Banks that have financed his career, and demogoguing the most sordid kinds of racism and bigotry. And “his” new district is 30% Asian and 30% Latino. Royce proudly boasts being California’s “most effective conservative” and that he was a Tea Partier before there was a Tea Party. His 20-year record in Congress includes trying to end the Voting Rights Act, weakening laws protecting women, fighting against subprime mortgage regulation, and voting to privatize Medicare. He believes Arizona’s “Show me your Papers” law should be the national standard, and has been caught on film describing multiculturalism as “odious.”

The new 39th CD is full of the same folks that Royce has tried to disenfranchise over the years with draconian English-only laws and attacks on diversity. This district needs a Congressman who will fight to rebuild Main Street, not just fight to protect Wall Street. “We need new leadership,” Jay told us, “and I intend to bring it.”

Readers will recall that Royce was also on the dias in Villa Park when Deborah Pauly went into her anti-Muslim screed against Islamic women and children entering a meeting.  Many of Royce’s posts on the dying of not dead RedCounty.com blog show the Congressman is more concerned with battling radical Islam in Pakistan than he is about the residents of Fullerton and Brea.

The last item in the Blue America post is worth republishing here:

Royce has been ducking the League of Women Voters’ request to set up a debate. He’s afraid of Jay– and Jay says they have a lot to talk about… in front of the voters: “Recently, Royce voted to weaken the Violence Against Women Act, lower penalties and punishments for abuse against women and to remove the exemption for rape and incest that Republican anti-Choice legislation still has. As millions of families were still reeling from the subprime mortgage market he helped deregulate, Royce voted against a critical measure to help families save their homes. He also voted, again, to give insurance companies the right to deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions.

Consider helping Blue America replace Royce with a sterling example of the next generation of American leadership. Jay is the kind of public servant we can all be proud to send to Congress. Please give what you can on our Act Blue page.

    There is no “Critical Measure” to help families save their homes; the “Critical Measure” is too little and too late.

    Despite the over 150 resolutions from Cities and labor organizations the HBPA was never introduced in Congress. There’s nothing on Jay Chan’s web site to suggest that he would have introduced the HBPA had he been a Congressman in 2007. Both are ‘banksters’.

  2. Candidate Jay Chen does not understand the difference between the religious rituals of Islam and the Political Islam; and therefore would be a dangerous person to have in Congress.

    Political Islam: Quran 9:5
    “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them.”
    (According to this verse, the best way of staying safe from Muslim violence is to convert to Islam. Prayer (salat) and the poor tax (zakat) are among the religion’s Five Pillars).
    The Quran’s Violent Verses:
    http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/023-violence.htm

    Chan’s gullibility has him attacking Deborah Pauly, and Congressmen Ed Royce & Gary Miller for protesting two honored Jihadists speakers at a Muslim fundraiser event in Yorba Linda.

    From the Muslim Brotherhood:
    “An Explanatory Memorandum, On the General Strategic Goal for the Muslim Brotherhood In North America” (Page 7 of the PDF)
    “The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all the word means. The Ikhwan* must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.
