80-20 Cause the "Milestone" in UCLA's Report?‏

UCLA's Press release of July 3,2008 stated:
"Super Tuesday of the 2008 presidential primary was a milestone in the emergence of Asian Americans as a factor in American politics."

Question: Did 80-20 cause that milestone?
Answer: Yes.

Q: Do you have evidence?
A: 4 irrefutable evidences. 80-20 challenges anyone who disagrees with the evidences.

1) 80-20 is the only Asian Am. organization that has ever advocated an AsAm bloc vote.

2) 80-20 has the knowhow and the work ethic to create that bloc vote. 7 months before Super Tuesday, 80-20 already predicted the "MILESTONE." 80-20 sent a newsletter to its 700,000 supporters entitled "Political Secrets II: AsAms, the Kingmakers in CA Primary." To verify, visit http://www.80-20educationalfoundation.org/posterboard.html

3) On 2/4/08, 80-20 sent a newsletter entitled "Advice On Who To Vote For Tomorrow." It said, " In California, do a bloc vote for Sen. Clinton." It went on to predict that we'll cast a bloc vote in CA for Clinton "stronger than that of the Hispanics." Result? AsAm voted 3 to 1 for Sen. Clinton, while Hispanics voted 2 to 1 only.

4) CNN recognized 80-20's contribution to that MILESTONE. Visit http://www.80-20initiative.net/success/media_mainstream_080215cnn.asp.

Of course 80-20 had help. 80-20's California affiliates like CAPA, CBC, CPAC and APAPA helped. The large number of Asian Am. elected officials in CA, who've endorsed Clinton, helped. Together, under the leadership of 80-20, we produced this "MILESTONE."

To non-80-20 members:
80-20 has served you greatly. It set a vision to make AsAms a factor in American politics. It worked tirelessly for YOU to deliver the vision. Will you encourage us by joining as dues paying members? Does $35 or $50 mean that much to you? As UCLA's Press release says "still more can be done." Go http://www.80-20initiative.net/membership/payment.asp.

80-20 is gutsy, knowledgeable in politics, and dedicated to you. Be pioneers! Help make the "awaken sleeping giant" even stronger. Share the burden.

Respectfully yours,

UCLA dubs AsAms as "awakened political GIANT"‏

A press release from one of the most prestigious academic institutions on Asian American affairs, UCLA's Asian Am Studies Center, was issued on July 3, 2008.

The report was a most positive testimony to 80-20's political effectiveness, although 80-20 was not mentioned by name. See what the release says.

"Super Tuesday of the 2008 presidential primary was a milestone in the emergence of Asian Americans as a factor in American politics. National news outlets discussed and analyzed California's Asian American voters, who helped Senator Hillary Clinton win the Democratic vote," says the release.

"In addition to helping Hillary Clinton in California,.. Asian Americans have played a pivotal role in other nationally significant contests.

In 2006, for instance, 76 percent of Virginia's Asian American and Pacific Islander voters went for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jim Webb,.. Webb's win helped tip the balance in the Senate in favor of the Democrats."

To see the entire report on which the press release is based, go http://www.aasc.ucla.edu/archives/SleepingGiantBrief_070208.pdf.

Which Asian Am organization is singularly instrumental in the above demonstration of AsAm political clout????? 80-20!

To 80-20 members: This UCLA report is an immense non-monetary reward to us all for having borne the burdens of pioneers.

To non-80-20 members: You have been great supporters of 80-20, wouldn't you please go another step and be dues-paying members now??? As the UCLA Press release says, "still more can be done."

Join 80-20 now! Go http://www.80-20initiative.net/membership/payment.asp. There has never been an Asian Am organization as gutsy, as knowledgeable in politics and as dedicated to you as 80-20.

Be pioneers! May you and I share the burden.
