Vietnamese- American Elected to US Congress
Hey everyone! It has been a while since my last blog, but hey, better late than never! In looking at my most recent new update on the blackberry (God forbid I get up and actually read a newspaper!), I found an article explaining that America now has its first Vietnamese-American elected to congress. Now, anti-abortion beliefs aside, republican John Cao's election to congress is one of many recent examples of the direction that our country is going in that makes me proud to be an American. We are one of the most culturally diverse countries on this planet, yet for so long we have had the very opposite of that representing our country. IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!! Call it what you want, but I finally feel that I can safely say that we are moving forward as a country. Although we have a lot of work to do, especially in the eyes of the rest of the world, we are now fixing ourselves internally. Having a congress that is representative of our country's cultural diversity is a step in the right direction.
