See How Many DID THEIR SHARE

80-20 urged its supporters to pour in faxes and e-mails to President Bush and the 4 major Senators he will consult for his next Supreme Court nominee. We first sent a poll to 15,000 activists 2 weeks ago to ask them if the Asian American Coalition for Equal Justice (AACEJ), in which 80-20 is one member and EQUAL PARTNER, should push for a Supreme Court nominee. WITHIN ONE WEEK, 1/5 RESPONDED! Today, we have over 3,500 POSITIVE responses.

We then asked our supporters to fax and e-mail President Bush and the 4 Senators to let them know about the 5 candidates our supporters picked in the poll. LOOK AT HOW MANY DID THEIR SHARE! Hundreds more poured in their faxes, but below is a sample of the faxes, e-mails, and reports to us that were sent.


I DID MY SHARE. TOGETHER, we shall overcome. Counting on YOU.

Dear President George Bush and Honorable Senators,

I understand that only 8 of the 839 judges in Federal courts are Asian Americans (AsAms). The AsAms are not well represented at all in our federal court. I strongly believe qualified AsAms deserves considerations.

Here are five of the outstanding AsAMs candidates, each merits Nomination

[names omitted]

for your consideration as the next Supreme Court Justice.

I support the campaign of "AsAm Coalition for Equal Justice" (AACEJ), of which 80-20 is one member, to increase AsAm representation in Federal Courts, including the Supreme Court.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours respectfully,

Bik-Kee Vuong, Radiochemist, National Institutes of Health



I sent letter to these people yesterday.

Sincerely,

Vo Nguyen, M.D.


I received your "call to action" which I will do as outlined in your
message. But let me go on record that I presented to you an alternate
Nominee, "The Honorable Justice JOYCE LUTHER KINNARD of the Supreme
Court of the State of
California since the 1980ties". She is an
Eurasian Woman of Dutch, Indonesian and Chinese parentage. She is as
qualified as any of those Asian Lawyers that you have named earlier.

Thanks and regards.

Dear fellow Chinese and members of the Gulfcoast Chinese-American Association,

We have a historic window of opportunity to push for an Asian American supreme court nominee. Although our chance of success is not high, the successful outcome of this goal is crucially important in enhancing equality for Asian American minorities for generations to come. This is all the more why I earnestly request that each and everyone of you to please INVEST an hour of your time to respond to the following call for action from SB Woo of 80-20.

We can make it happen if we all work together in a unified and concerted effort. If not this time, certainly by the next. As Lao Tse said, “A Journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step.” It is high time we get started.

Recall the struggles of African Americans for civil rights. It wasn’t easy, but it had to be done. We sit today on the shoulders of giants like Martin Luther King who helped advance the fight for equality for minorities. The task is unfinished. Today, Asian Americans are up against the “glass ceiling” across all sectors of private industry, government and academia. It is time for YOU to carry the torch and do your part for the greater good of this nation.

Mahatma Gandhi said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world”

Please join 80-20 and your fellow Asian Americans in this worthy campaign. A sample letter from me to President Bush can be found at the end of this email.

Thank you for answering the call to action!

Sincerely,

Dr. Edward Lin, President & CEO, Ingenious Technologies Corp.

Dear President Bush,

I think that Asian Americans (AsAms) have been under-represented in
the top levels of corporations and government, including the US Supreme Court.
For example, only eight of the 839 judges in the U.S. Federal courts are Asian
Americans. I think the numbers speak for themselves.

Now that there is an opening in the U.S. Supreme Court, it is time to
select an AsAm, since there are several well-qualified AsAm legal experts with
qualifications that are suitable to be a U.S. Supreme Count Justice. For example:

I think you will be doing great justice if you would appoint the first
AsAm to be a Supreme Court Justice.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. President:

As you consider the important task of nominating the next Supreme Court justice, May I respectfully urge you to consider the following exceptionally qualified Asian American candidates:

A. Wallace Tashima, Senior Judge, Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit:

Harold Hongju Koh, Dean of the Yale School of Law

Robert A. Takasugi, Senior District Judge, Central District of California.

Denny Chin, District Judge, Southern District of NY,
Ronald S. W. Lew, District Judge, Central Dist. Of CA
Anthony C. Ching, Solicitor General of AZ,

As an individual committed to advance equality and justice in America, you may be surprised to know that while Asian Americans represent 4% of the US population, only 8 of the 839 judges in Federal courts are Asian Americans (0.95%). These numbers speak for themselves and cry out for action to the conscience of all who believe in the American system of equality and fairness for all. I beseech you to help heal the wounds that inequality has caused, and use this historic opportunity to nominate an Asian American to the US Supreme Court.


Mr. President, I support the campaign of "Asian American Coalition for Equal Justice" (AACEJ), of which 80-20 is one member, to increase Asian American representation in Federal Courts, including the Supreme Court. Thank you for your consideration of our earnest request.

Dear President George Bush:

May you consider Harold Hongju Koh, Dean of Yale law School, a
Korean American as your nominee for the next Supreme Court Justice? He
served in both Republican and Democratic Administrations.

The numbers speak for themselves. Only 8 of the 839 judges in
Federal courts are Asian Americans. Qualified Asian Americans deserve
consideration.

I support the campaign of "Asian American Coalition for Equal
Justice" (AACEJ) to increase Asian American representation in Federal
Courts, including the Supreme Court.

Wenjun Jiang, Pharmacoepidemiology Fellow


Dear Senator Specter:

As an Asian American professional in higher education, I believe that the time has come that the Asian American community in this country now should have sufficient representations in the legal branch of the government, especially in the Supreme Court. As of this time, among the 839 judges in the Federal Courts,there are only 8 Asian American judges. Does It mean that there isn't any qualified Asian Americans in the legal field? Of course not, for example, the Dean of the Yale Law School, Harold Hongju Koh who has served both in the Republican as well as Democratic administrations, could anyone say that he is not qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice? Another example is Anthony C. Ching, the first ever Solicitor General in the state of Arizona, both his training
and experience easily qualify him to be a good Supreme Court Justice.

May I recommend to you for consideration one of the two to be a candidate of the second vacated position in the Supreme Court. This is only fair and proper thing to do in this time of our nation's history. May God bless America.

Respectfully,

Richard Yungdeh Chu


This is what I will be faxing to the 5 names:

Dear XXXX,

I would sincerely like to nominate the following candidates for your
next Supreme Court Justice based on their OUTSTANDING achievements and
qualification.

If you observe the number of Asian American faces you meet on a daily
basis, and the number in each neighborhood, in each school, in each
business, "8 out of 839 judges are Asian Americans" is a MOCKERY and a
clear message to Asian Americans that - WE CAN CO-EXIST WITH YOU, WE
CAN USE YOUR SERVICE, WE CAN EVEN HAVE YOU OVER FOR DINNER, BUT "WE DO
NOT RECOGNISE YOU - AND WE ARE NOT GIVING YOU CREDIT AND FAIRNESS".

I IMPLORE you, to give consideration and support the campaign of "AsAm Coalition for Equal Justice (AACEJ) of which 80-20 IS ONE MEMBER, to increase AsAm representation in Federal Courts, including the Supreme

Court of this GREAT COUNTRY OF THE UNITED STATES.
