Dear volunteers, tiger moms & lion dads of Orange County, Honorable guests Senator Bob Huff, Mrs. Mei Mei He, Senate Candidate Mr. Peter Kuo, Assemblywoman candidate Ms. Ling-Ling Chang, Lieutenant Governor candidate Mr. George Yang, Welcome to Irvine!
We invite you to join us tonight to celebrate the founding of The Orange Club, and to witness our gratitude to your standing up for us, to your rallying with us, to helping us in the fight against SCA5, and more importantly to witness our enthusiasm to participate in the American political process!
We invite you to a new beginning where we will take an active stand for our core interests. We will stand up for our core values that teach us to work hard - to never give up - for ourselves, our families, and most importantly, our future. We are going to take back control of our own destiny!
It is a new beginning where we will start fulfilling our duties to this great country in the world, and to the greatest state in this country, as voters and citizens, as catalyst of positive changes, as the forces to help achieve social fairness and justice, and as the creators, not just the beneficiaries, of opportunities!
As your supporters, we ask that you stand up to your consciousness when called upon, stand by the values you believe in, and never give in nor give up! Let's work together, let's stand by each other, let's make this great state of California a better place to live, and get educated! Thank you, and welcome again!

我首先要感谢各组义工美妈帅爸们,你们是当之无愧的南加华人的骄傲,你们才是捍卫华裔利益的英雄!其次要感谢Bob Huff参议员和夫人何美湄女士在这次反SCA5的运动中,真诚地为华裔的核心利益,仗义执言、奔走呼号、出谋划策!也要感谢各位候选人在反SCA5的运动中坚决地和我们华裔站在一起!
我们为什么要支持这几位候选人?
第一,是为了打破加州民主党的一党独大;
第二,也是更重要的,是因为他们是我们华裔真正的子弟兵,真正的嫡系部队!They are our own troops!
熟悉中国近现代史的人们都还记得,当年中国革命的先驱孙中山先生,革命初期被各地的军阀利用和抛弃,从而痛下决心,创建了黄埔军校,中国的国民革命从此走上蓬勃发展的道路。
历史何其相似!我们在加州的华人,在经历了SCA5这样的被出卖之后,痛感没有真正属于我们自己的政治力量,南北呼应,开始了建立和扶持能忠诚捍卫我华裔核心利益的政治家的新历程!我们今天要支持的候选人,就是咱们华裔的黄埔一期生,我们华裔自己的“枪杆子”!
虽然他们今后的从政道路会充满了艰难和困苦,但我们橙县乃至全加州的华人,是你们坚强的后盾!我们希望你们在今后的从政道路上越走越远,越走越成功!希望你们在坚定捍卫我华裔利益的同时,自信地弘扬我华裔的核心价值观,成为推动美国社会进步的主力军!
最后,我想特别感谢橙县美妈义工们,你们撑起了橙县乃至南加反SCA5的大半片天空!你们的执着,是激励我们继续前进的动力!你们的功勋,将永载美国华人参政的史册!谢谢大家!
