All the dirty dealings of democracy are on display this month as we near an historic election. Down in New Orleans, the Vietnamese population is being targeted:

The church member said a flier was handed out at the Queen of Mary Vietnamese Catholic Church on Election Day.

It's in Vietnamese and it tells people who they should vote for, Francis Nguyen said.

Experts said this could put the church's nonprofit status at risk.

The article leaves out which politicians received recommendations, unfortunately.

About this blog

After Katrina and its horrible aftermath, Chin Music Press felt compelled to shine its wobbly flashlight on New Orleans. This effort resulted in our second book, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? Along the way, we met a community of passionate, eloquent writers who care deeply about what happens to the Big Easy. This blog became a natural extension of the book. It's our way of adding voices to the unfolding story of New Orleans.
