Unity is power. See below. We apologize for not being able to publicize hundreds of other e-mails & faxes.

See how EVERY COMPONENT of the Asian American community spoke up. See how VERY ACTIVE REPUBLICANS, including a member of the NRCC Business Council, and a student recently invited by V.P. Cheney to attend a national phone hook-up, and a radio personality, insist on a satisfactory answer to 80-20's questionnaire. We salute these individuals for their selfless effort on behalf of our community.

Dear Mr. Bush, I have heard that you did not reply to 80-20 questionnaire, is that correct? I urge you to respond the questions. Otherwise, your ignoring to fill out those questions will indicate that you are ignoring Asian Americans. Thanks!

Dung Nguyen, Address: ...

Dear President Bush,

For the record, I am a registered Republican, and am a supporter of you and the Republican party. My Asian friends and I attend many of the party's functions on a regular basis. For instance, 10 of us attended the NRCC Business Council fund raising dinner at DC a few months ago, which set a new record for fund raised in a single event.

I am also a member of 80-20. It came to my attention that 80-20 is still waiting for your response to its questionnaire. Your satisfactor y response, or lack of response, will have an impact on independent mind like us to decide whether we should continue our support of your quest for the presidency. ...

Arthur Bueno Address: ...

Dear Dr. Woo~
As more or less a "moderate Republican," I want to thank you and commend you for being truly an non-partisan voter, and for encouraging others to see things as balanced as you do.

It might please you to know that as an 80-20 member, I have already written several emails and a few letters imploring Bush/Cheney to immediately acknowledge & agree to 80-20's reasonable requests. I did this not only because I support Bush/Cheney more than I support Kerry (for now, at least), but because I think 80-20's requests are valid.

I will attach a copy of one of my most recent letters both sent & emailed to Pres. Bush & Vice Pres. Cheney for your perusal.
