Just out of curiosity.... i'm not sure if there's a thread on this already or not but i couldn't find it (but i was able to find one on hmong leaders)....... anyways... does anyone know any hmong politicans that are out there besides Mee Moua and GVP.. i dont consider him as one..but some of you might...and other people out there? i haven't been updated with the hmong community for awhile now so yeah.. just trying to keep my info up to date.. thanks

Illegal and unfair elections... Haven't heard anything significant these political leaders are doing... Hmong people got a long way too go. Very poor leadership skills... The youth are muted by them...

um.....

a hmong guy was voted district member in fresno.....

and im working on my politics degree... does that matter???

bleh.

Alive or dead also? There are/were alot of active people. One of the first big Hmong politicians of course was Touby Lyfoung! But he's long gone. He was very involved in Laotian politics. It was during his time that the French started to recognize the political importance of Hmong in Indochina. He worked towards the peace in Laos. He was a military leader also, led forces against Japanese during WW2. Even GVP served under him against the Japanese before he became a general. Unfortunately Touby Lyfoung stayed behind after the communist takeover. Him and many others including members of Lao royalty were imprisoned and died in them communist re-education camps. If you want a Hmong leader role model...he's your man!

There's also people that did good things like Dr. Pob Zeb Vang that just passed away not long ago. (I think he is the reason they officially recognize us as Hmong instead of Miao or Meo You can still see "meo" written in the descriptions on old pics from back during the war by Americans and French)

That's good, all you need to do is be able to appeal to the youth. What every politician lack is influence on the young people of America.

And I agree that Touby Lyfoung was a great leader, he did set up the ideal leadership character for the rest to follow.

Yeap true...but not like Hitler and Mao Zedong, etc. Them muhfu-kas was crazy...I dunno how they did it.

Well, now, we can use another Hitler, Stalin, Saddam, and Mao Zi Dong like leaders to lead as hmong people lack cooperation and are so divided. It takes a cruel leader to organize and shape people so that better leaders can emerge to lead.

hehe more like alive politicians...... not dead ones.. lol

Good dead ones need to be reserructed...
