On March 17th, 2014, State Assembly Speaker John Perez(D-AD53) announced
sending SCA-5 back to State Senate citing the lack of support of the bill in
current form and the request of the bill's author, Ed Hernandez(D-SD24).
The original bill was passed strictly along the party line because of
Democrat Party held the two-thrid of seats (super majority) in the Senate on
1/31. As of today, Democrat Party doesn't hold super majority in State
Senate due to two members of its caucus are on discipline leave. So
effectively SCA-5 is dead in current legislative session until new State
Senate and Assembly takes effect in 2015-1016 session.
SVCA Analysis:
The result of sending SCA-5 back to State Senate effectively announced the
death of SCA-5 in current legislative session. Let's give everyone working
hard in last one month a well deserved congratulations and everyone needs to
take a short break.
But as the title says, the ghost of SCA-5 is still looming large on State
Capital, because there are certain sectors of politicians in our government
are firmly believe in the spirit of SCA-5 and like to use social engineering
to "encourage, support and defend voluntary and mandatory affirmative
action measures aimed at enhancing equality in employment, education, and
business opportunities. Education is just the first step to achieve its long
term goal. So the battle is over, but the war is not finished.
Based on current situation, while we continue being vigilant on any movement
of SCA-5 and keep our pressure on elected officials, we will put more
effort to the elections this year (6/3 Primary and 11/4 General). The
following are the immediate work we will focus on:
1) Actively join in a few selective local elections (state senate, state
assembly and city council), in both primary and general elections
2) voter registration drive and voter education
3) voter turnout drive on both in person and mail ballots
We are open to work with anyone who put their "no-on-SCA5) into action and
fully believe in providing equal opportunity to everyone as long as they
have the ability and determination, regardless of their background, groups,
party affiliation.
Appendix: Elected officials and candidates' stand on SCA-5 as of March 17th,
2014:
State Assembly:
1)Republican Assembly members: based on the promise of Assembly minority
leader, all of the GOP caucus members plans to vote No on SCA-5. A few of
GOP assembly members made public statement against SCA-5.
2) Ed Chau (D-AD49): The first assembly member to officially announcing
against SCA-5 in current form, and ask for amendment before consideration;
3) Sharon Quik-Silva (D-AD65): officially declare against SCA-5 at this time
, privately sending email to community members to clarify she is against SCA
-5 in current form
4) Joan Buchanan(D-AD16): announced privately in a meeting to group of over
twenty community members she will be abstain from SCA-5. Her own words: "I
have always been a believer of making informed decisions based on data.
Based on my research, I will not vote for SCA-5"
5) Phil Ting(D-AD19): announced on Chinese newspaper support SCA-5(at least
its spirit), but ask for amendment
6) Paul Fong(D-AD28): privately sending email to community members to state
he is against SCA-5 in current form, but never made any official
announcement and refused to meet community even when the community presented
him thousands of signatures (including over one thousand signatures of
registered voters from San Jose City Council District 1 which he will seek
the seat for in Nov election). And further his apprentice and heir-apparent
Evan Low made a public TV appearance to support SCA-5 (see below)
State Senate:
1)Ted Lieu(D-SD28), Carol Liu(D-SD25) and Leeland Yee(D-SD8) . The three
Asian American State Senators voted YES on 1/30/2014 on SCA-5. In past few
weeks, they publicly changed their stand after hearing the community input
and ask for Senator Hernandez to withdraw the bill even though they don't
have the voting power anymore. Particularly Senate Ted Lieu publicly
announced his motivation to vote YES for SCA-5 and also announced he changed
his mind after the community input and will vote No if the bill comes back
to Senate.
Federal Congress:
1) Judy Chu(D-Congressional District 32, California): publicly announced her
opposition to SCA-5, together with Ed Chau. Federal Congress has no
oversight of SCA-5 since it is a state legislature
2) Mike Honda(D- Congressional District 17, California): publicly announced
his opposition to SCA-5 on 3/17/2014 and ask for expanding public education
to provide more opportunities. Federal Congress has no oversight of SCA-5
since it is a state legislature

SCA-5根本没死，只不过等你们闹累了再出击。

发帖数: 861 | 10 If the bill can be sent back to assembly anytime , the bill is not dead not
all, not almost. Your information is completely false. It means it is still
alive in current season.
Please confirm the real situation and update your post immediately. As
leader of SVCA that many people follow here, it is a big mistake. | | | h****n

从Ice2000的总结，"在会议的中间，Senator Ed Hernandez的正式信到了。Barry
Chang要求把信project在
大屏幕上让大家公开看公开讨论---哪位朋友能拿到这封信的具体内容？从我的现场
reading 来看，那个第三段非常的concerning，Ed Hernandez 明确的说他是on hold这
个法案，直到他听到更多的声音."
我想他是在准备更疯狂的反扑，准备全方位的舆论，社会支持吧！什么成立专门的
committee,blah lab.
他们只是全力准备卷土重来！我们首战小捷，也只是打了他们个措手不及。他们瞒天过
海的算什没能成而已。
离他们弃甲还早得很。
只是接下来，他们必定集中全力，进行全方位包装，侍机再发。
对我们来说，困难更大。但我们也已经不是2个月前的华裔了！
策略更加重要了。准备更艰苦的持久战。 | J*******p

除 Hernandez 之外，下面三人参加了采访讨论，包括 Evan Low.
•Emil Guillermo, Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund
•Evan Low, Campbell city councilmember and former mayor
•Aimee Allison, senior vice president of PowerPAC
听听 Guillermo 说什么，此人言谈间对 Chinese American 很轻蔑，
说什么 Chinese American 自以为会玩政治（主攻亚裔官员），已经在互相庆祝，说
SCA-5 快死了;
还用威胁的口吻说什么 (my paraphrase):
What these Chinese Americans fail to see is that even though they are 40% in
UC, they are only 5% in the nation and 15% in the state. Minorities! As
they band together to get what they want, they define what narrow political
self interest is.
听到这儿，我真有些吃惊，这不是赤裸裸地威胁华裔人少甭想成事吗！？这儿，他被
Allison 打断了，也许她意识到了什么。这个 Guillermo 到底是谁？ 竟然是来自 所
谓 Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund。 | s**********1

In California, Prop. 209 has survived all challenges at both the state
Supreme Court and at the legislative level. Meanwhile, the state's black,
Latino, and segments of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community,
most notably the __Filipino__, Southeast Asian, and Pacific Islander groups,
remain woefully underrepresented.
