Never mind who wrote this, it could be from any of us constituents of the 46th Congressional District. All of us (most of us) or any of us, in Santa Ana, Anaheim or Orange:
Congressman Lou Correa. We congratulate you on your re-election. You didn’t get challenged much in your race due to our community wanting to unite with you in protecting our immigrant communities as Job #1. While you initially told us and our elected officials to just hide, stay low, keep quiet and not attract ICE’s attention (which didn’t work) you did provide important resources and a voice as ICE swarmed in. And for that we thank you. We are now in a new era of opportunity thanks to a vote that said “Ya Basta!”
We need you to rise, Lou! 
As the re-elected congressman for a district that has long been struggling with affordability and persecuted for our value of immigrant families and inclusion, it is time for us to expect more of you. Our district, our people, can no longer afford being moderated. It is a life and death struggle.
The following is what is expected of YOU Lou and for any Speaker candidate you choose to vote for. Outside of politics you are a good man, Lou. I know you have it in you. It is time for you to truly rise to the moment.
Si se puede Lou.
Our people need you and any potential Speaker to fight for the following:
1. Medicare4all
2. Abolish ICE
3. Constitutional amendment to end Citizens United
4. Package of ethics reforms e.g. end stock trading, conflicts of interest, etc
5. Rescind big ugly bill
6. Remove caps on SS tax that protects the wealthy
7. End for-profit prisons and detention centers
8. Reinvest in transition from fossil fuels
9. Comprehensive immigration reform with full pathway to citizenship including rescinding deportation orders of those kidnapped by ICE (and bring them home) and use saved monies from ICE abolishment to invest in a fully functioning competent immigration court system that guarantees honest and just due process
9. End the blockade on Cuba and return Venezuela’s resources to their people
10. End foreign aid used to kill Palestinian children and innocents (and any aid to any country also killing innocents)
11. Full Justice and accountability for the cruelty and grifting of the Trump Administration
12. Pledge to not accept any corporate or PAC monies and donate any current corporate/pac dollars in your fund to immigration defense funds or charity of your choosing
(Vern adds 13. End the War on Iran first thing!)
If you are not able or willing then at least have the courtesy to hold town halls to explain why not. If you need us to rise with you then call town halls to tell us how to rise with you. Either way Lou …as Dolores Huerta famously yelled at the beginnings of the strikes “Come on out brothers, we are waiting for you!”
PS. I and many Amigas y Amigos in our community welcome a meeting with you to discuss further, of course only if you feel safe meeting with us!
