Political Dirty Tricks Time

Beware of dirty tricks against 80-20 in an election year. They are actually dirty tricks against YOU -- to prevent YOU from having an effective political voice. Watch out for FAKE 80-20 e-mails. Such e-mails may have addresses similar or even identical to sbw@80-20.info or sbw@80-20.net . To help you so that you'll not be misled:

80-20 NEVER
  • sends attachments or warns you about a virus via its mass e-mails,
  • pushes pornography or physical enhancement,
  • sells products, o takes a partisan stand (until we endorse in order to reward a presidential candidate who has done the better job to advance our rightful interests. An Endorsement Convention (EC) will be held. Delegates to EC are elected through an open & democratic election by all members),
  • takes a stand on US foreign policy (80-20 has the right to take a stand, but we choose not to in order to avoid causing splits within the AsAm community), and
  • changes its endorsement of a presidential candidate in the last days of the election season. Watch out for such a dirty trick, a day or two before November 2, 2004.

When you encounter a possible FAKE 80-20 emails that may have significant impact e.g. declaring a changed 80-20 presidential endorsement," please be so kind as to check with 80-20 by emailing jingliyu@earthlink.net as soon as possible. Thank YOU.

GOOD NEWS:

A Mid-Missouri 80-20 chapter has been formed under the capable leadership of Henry Liu, who ran for 80-20's 2004 Board but was unfortunately not elected. It has 35 members. 25 members is the minimum to become a chapter.
