33 Delegates, 1/3 Republican, 1/3 Democrat and 1/3 Independent, have been elected. A few Alternates of each affiliation have also been elected. They will meet at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Foster City, CA on August 2, 2008 (Saturday).
Media professisonals & 80-20 dues-paying members are welcome as observers. The Delegates will decide to endorse one or none or both presidential candidates. Their endorsement will influence at lease 1.75 million Asian Am. votes as past elections have repeatedly proven. A recent report from one of the most prestigious academic institutions on Asian American affairs, UCLA's Asian Am Studies Center dubbed Asian Americans as "awakened political giants." See http://www.aasc.ucla.edu/archives/SleepingGiantBrief_070208.pdf.
80-20 salutes all candidates for Delegates as role models for our community, and want our community to be aware of these names and the sacrifice they are making, especially when airfares are so expensive these days.
The candidates who have received the 11 top most votes in each political affiliation become the Delegates. The rest become the first, second,.. Alternates.
