I do not identify with Long Beach, Hawaiian Gardens, Paramount, etc. This virtually guarantees that my family and other conservatives will be represented by a Democrat who identifies with LA County politics. Please! Don't do this to us!

It's been over 30 years and it's a long way for our communities to fight that we can be in one district. We need to have our voice to speak for others that can't speak for themselves. I wanted the little saigon area to stay the way they are which included Garden Grove, Fountain Valley, Westminster, and part of Santa Ana. If other communities can have their own district why can't we. -- This mail is sent via contact form on Citizens Redistricting Commission 1 of 1 6/29/2011 12:27 PM Thank You Subject: Thank You From: Aaruni Thakur < Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2011 10:33:14 -0700 (PDT) To: " < Dear Commission Members: I am a life-long resident of Fullerton, leaving only to attend college and law school. I had grown tired of seeing only the most extreme members of both political parties being sent to Sacramento. This was due in large part to gerrymandered districts. I am writing to express my sincere thanks for how you have drawn the districts surrounding and including Fullerton. Your first-draft shows a keen understanding of the various demographic and socioeconomic factors that make up North Orange County and the surrounding communities in 2011. I am asking you to keep the lines as they are. Thank you for your service to our (once and future) great state.

As part of that action, I fully support of the Dana Point City Council's Resolution No 11-06-13-02 which can be found on the City's web site at: http://www.danapoint.org/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=9153 which opposes any state Assembly or Senate redistricting plan that would (a) divide the City geographically and/ or (b) place the City outside of any state Senate or Assembly districts that do not include our neighboring south Orange County cities. I, and many fellow business leaders in Dana Point strongly feel that our entire city should be grouped with other south Orange County cities for state Senate and Assembly purposes because of the common issues these cities face as well as the strong working relationships and cooperative arrangements they have developed over many years. Shared issues include business matters, ocean water quality, regional transportation at both the local (Orange County Transportation Authority) and state (Caltrans) levels, regional land use planning and affordable housing. I strongly and respectfully request the Commission to reconsider the state Senate and Assembly district boundaries proposed in the First Draft in view of the City of Dana Point's comments set forth in the Dana Point City Council's Resolution No 11-06-13-02. If I can be of any further assistance or answer any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your time and consideration of my opinion in this important matter.
