Pres. Primary & YOU/ Pres. Bush/ Buying a House?

(A) Help Your Kids When Pres. Candidates Come to Town

Presidential candidates may be coming to your town. Please take
advantage of it. Be sure to mention YOUR support for 80-20 to
candidates and/or their staff. The more the politicians are aware
that we have a bloc vote, the more they'll attend to our rightful
interests.

Tell them about:
1) A Nat'l Science Foundation sponsored survey found that APAs voted
66 to 32 for Gore nationally, after 80-20 endorsed Gore. APAs voted
70 to 28 for Gore in CA where 80-20 is the strongest,

2) 80-20 was rated one of the nation's two most effective cyberspace
political organizations in the 2000 election by a recent book: "Click
on Democracy -- The Internet's Power to Change Political Apathy
into Civic Action." One of the Authors, Steve Davis, was the
Washington/world and national news editor of USA Today.

3) "Sometimes, it takes a big hammer to hit you on the head to wake
you up. I'll report back to my principals that there is a BIG NEW
HAMMER here (in 80-20)." Joel Szabal representing the Republican
Nat'l Comm. and the Bush Campaign at 80-20's Endorsement
Meeting of 2000.

(B) Pres. Bush's "no racial profiling" policy was questioned by The
NY Times: http://www.80-20initiative.net/NYTRacialProfiling.html

(C) Buying a new house or renting a place?

Examiner. Even APAs in Calif. are not treated any better. All the
more reason to help achieve group political clout to stop this
discrimination.
