Los Angeles, Oct. 26, 2007
Gary Singh
SAN JOSE SIKH GURDWARA AND FREMONT GURDWARA SAHIB MEMBERS JOIN
TOGETHER FOR PROMINENT AND INFLUENTIAL FUNDRAISING SUPPORT TO COUNCILMAN
HARRY SIDHU IN HIS CAMPAIGN FOR 33RD STATE SENATE SEAT
Anaheim, CA – On Sunday, October 21, members of San Jose
Sikh Gurdwara – the largest in the country, and Fremont Gurdwara
Sahib - one of the most prominent and influential Sikh gurdwaras
in the world, joined together at Swagat Restaurant in Milpitas,
California, to provide significant fundraising support for Councilman
Harry Sidhu’s candidacy for the 33rd State Senate District
seat soon to be vacated due to term limits. This special gathering
was hosted by board representatives from the respective gurdwaras,
including: Surjit Bains, Sukhdev Singh Bainiwal, Bob Dhillon, and
Rajinder Singh Mangar.
Councilman Sidhu spoke at both gurdwaras on Sunday afternoon reminding
all of the importance of continuing the legacy of Dilip Singh Saund,
the first Asian American and first native of India elected to Congress
in 1956. “Let us remember and bring to light the important
legacy of Dilip Singh Saund - the political leader who spearheaded
the campaign to allow Indian immigrants to become United States
Citizens,” declared Sidhu. “Saund’s story highlights
the struggle of early Indian immigrants in California, the prejudice
they faced in rural communities, and how we may rise above it all
to gain a voice in government. Like Saund, I, too, was born in the
Punjab province of India and inspired by the writings of Abraham
Lincoln. It is my aim to provide all of you with a necessary ‘voice’
and leadership as the ‘first’ elected Indo-American
State Senator in Sacramento!”
Continuing, Councilman Sidhu emphasized to all that by supporting
his campaign efforts, they would be working together toward increasing
our Indo-American representation at the state level of government.
“Change may only come about with your meaningful support,”
said Sidhu. “We will succeed because we have no other choice.
We will work together to save and restore the California dream of
good schools, safe neighborhoods, and ongoing opportunity for all.”
