"Why Do We Have to Recall Madison Nguyen" according to John Zamora - Community Leader

John Zamora spoke at Press Conference in front of San Jose City Hall on Feb. 5/2009. John Zamora is a Community Leader-Activist, was the founder of US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a former Planning Commissioner and Bicentenial Commissioner, former President of San Jose Mexican-American Political Association. He expressed strong support for the Recall of Madison Nguyen. The text of his speech is captured below:

"I must be myself as a Latino, when I face adversity, and choose rights over wrong, ethics over convenience and self benefits, truth over popularity. I thought I was too old to enter one more fight for democracy one more time. But my son told me you are never too old to do what is right.
Madison Nguyen has broken so many ethics and violated the rights of the citizens of San Jose, more than the last three embattled councilmembers Kathy Cole, Terry Greogory and Ron Gonzales put together.
If the city wants to save money, they would ask her to resign. That would save all the money in the world.
The violations are graves and serious:

Starting with the Brow Act violations.
Starting with given the right of names to a private developer.
Starting with trying to go around public hearing of her backroom dealing.
Allowing a fraudulent list of names so that she get her way.
And many more and each of them deserve punishment.
Every citizen, not only Vietnamese-Americans in San Jose should join us and call for the same punishment that every other embattled councilmembers faced for lack of ethics."
