7 days ago, 80-20 announced that "If SELF fails, PAC dies." Since then, a powerful NEW community spirit -- "All for one, and one for all" -- is emerging.
Donation to SELF has since jumped by " $27,800/yr for 5 years" or $20,000 per day for 7 consecutive days . Let's not be overjoyed, however. Ask! Is that NEW spirit pervasive enough and sustaining enough to save PAC?
New knights to PAC's Rescue
. . . What do you propose we should do to help? xx. What a spirit!
2) Aihua Xie, Stillwater, OK did a 30x from $100/yr for 5 yrs. Note: 30x !
3) Wei Li, Elmhurst, NY did a 1 0x from $100/yr for 5 yrs. recently
4) Bing Xiao, Troy, MI did a 1 0x from $100/yr for 5 yrs.
5) Andrew Li, Mountain View, CA did a 5 x from $200/yr for 5 yrs.
6) Hao Zhang, Framingham, MA did a 5 x from 1 00/yr for 5 yrs.
7) . . . 10 others became 2x or 3x donors - an idea advanced by Ting-Wei Tang of Bristow, VA. His idea ALSO induced many non-donors to become donors. 80-20 salutes him.

Good News and Even Better News
(a) Good News:
Last Friday, you heard from 80-20 that Bob Beckel was finally fired by Fox !
Beckel had spit in our faces. Unfortunately, 80-20 PAC was not strong enough to get Beckel fired right away. But eventually, we helped make him pay. His being fired will be remembered by those who may want to tread on us in the future. If 80-20 dies, we'll not even get that.
(b) Even Better News?
Yesterday, the Supreme Court announced they will RECONSIDER "race- conscious" college admissions.
" In returning to the case, the court signaled that it might be
prepared to issue a major decision on the role race may play
in government decision making."
"The move, which supporters of race-conscious admissions
programs called baffling and ominous, signaled that the court
may limit or even end such affirmative action."
The final outcome is not yet known, but the momentum has obviously shifted in our favor ever since 80-20 became the first AsAm national org. to oppose "race-conscious" college admissions and to strongly disagree with all other so-called "AsAm civil rights" orgs.
Remember that most of the so-called "AsAm civil rights" orgs. still support "race conscious" college admissions! Why? Could it be that they were and are mostly financially supported by non-AsAm money? In contrast, 80-20 Initiative insists on operating on AsAm money only. But! But! 80-20 PAC is dying.
Is there a message here that all AsAms should understand?

PS A personal Apology from S. B. Woo
I don't have an employed assistant any more - a money saving move. Sarah Chang, a great volunteer, has a personal situation recently that she has to drastically cut down her commitment to 80-20. As a result, I work 8 to 14 hours everyday, including weekends and holidays. Even that is often not enough to take care of 80-20's responsibility to our community. So I set clear priorities. On BIG issues, I tried hard to represent you honorably and perhaps superbly. On personal communications, however, I don't check typos. The lack of quality in such personal emails does NOT imply disregard for you personally. Please accept my apologies. I'm 77. I've lost some motor & other skills. May I depend on your smarts to understand my emails in-spite-of typos and grammatical mistakes . Again, my apologies.
