American's political arena is a FREE market place where the political
clouts of interest groups compete & clash. Witness the debt ceiling talk
in D.C.! If Asian Americans don't have our own political clout, we and our
children shall be second class citizens for a long time.
Why 80-20's Survival Is Crucial To You
80-20 is the ONLY national, pan-Asian organization that
o knows the above political reality;
o toils to build up the Group Political Clout (GPC) to protect the rights
of the 16 million Asian Ams, the smallest minority composed
mostly of new immigrants;
o sacrifices personal interests of its leaders greatly to achieve its
mission. It achieves greatly. See "80-20's Top 10 Accomplishments,"
http://www.80-20initiative.
However, 80-20 Is Dying!
Unless 1400 more Asian Ams join 80-20 as members by year's
end, it'll die on March 25, 2013. See the diagram below to know that the red
line is already about 250 members below the green line. The red line must
lie above the green line by the 40th week on the horizontal axis.
What Will Be Lost When 80-20 Dies
The ONLY organized political clout that serves you will be gone. Here is
just one example of our community's terrible loss to come.
o The commitments of Pres. Obama may no longer be carried out.
o Remember the days when we had 5% of our national's lawyers, but only
0.7% of the life-tenured federal judges, all at the lowest rank? In the
last 2.5 yrs, owing to President Obama's iron-clad written commitment
to 80-20, there are twice as many such federal judges, with
one at the higher rank of the Appeals court judge. Might this number
stop increasing?
o Remember when Exe bb9 c. Order 11246 was not enforced for Asian Ams?,
That is why Asian Am. in private industries, universities have only
half the chance of an average American to rise to management/
administration! Owing to YOUR clout, it is being enforced..
After 80-20 dies, may your promotion chance drop to ½ that of other
Americans again?
o Before 80-20, there has NOT been a single Asian Am. cabinet secretary.
Owing to YOUR clout, we had an Acting Sec. for 6 months under
Clinton, 2 full secretaries under Bush, and 3 under Obama.
Could that be reversed?
NOTE: Dues of multi-year members shall be re-imbursed in a pro-rated manner.
PLEASE don't stop joining. Start joining to save 80-20! When the going gets
tough, the tough gets going. Are you one of those?
You'll soon receive "80-20 Is Dying (2)", It'll show that 80-20 is dying, owing
to its aging leadership and failure to find replacements after a multi-
-year attempt. In short, our community's POLITICAL APATHY slowly chokes
YOUR one and only political clout to death. It is a men-made situation
that can be quickly reversed by YOUR personal decision to become
politically involved.
