Looming Danger!

Q1Want to avoid being the victims of devastating collateral damage, brought by possible armed conflict between the US & China?

A: Of course. 


Q2: Why are we being asked such a question?

A: Two reasons:
(1) Sharply increased conflict between the US &; China over the South China Sea and the mutual expulsion of consulate offices, and
(2) Trump may just want to bring our nation to the edge of war just before Nov. 3 to rally the voters around him to get him re-electedHEED OUR WARNING! One can never be sure that a sharply & rapidly increasing conflict between 2 big powers can be controlled.


Q3: So what are AsAms, especially the Chinese Ams, to do?

A: Two things.
(1) For Emergency Relief: Do the best you can to morally & materially support 80-20 so that it can spring to action to protect us when needed. However, even if you don't lift a finger to help, 80-20 will still do its best to protect our community. 

80-20 started sending warnings to us about the dangers 2.5 years ago. To refresh your memory, please click on (a) & (b). You be the judge. Did our warnings turn out to be accurate? 80-20 is also just about the only AsAm org. that fights effectively for us. The bigger and the more complex the issue, the better 80-20 stands out. To refresh your memory, click on (c) and (dto remember two recent events.

(2) For Lasting Relief: Between now and November 3, do all you can to "Dump Trump," so that we'll not have to worry about him in the next 4 years.

"Flip the Senate" & the Worth of 80-20's Word.

80-20 promised to send 6 checks of $5,000.00 each to the 6 senate campaigns that will most likely help "Flip the Senate" on Nov. 3. The 2nd of such checks is shown below. It has been sent to Gang Cao, Prof. of Physics, Univ. of CO, Boulder, who is the Chair of the 80-20's Colorado State Committee. 
John Hickenlooper won the Dem. primary with 59%. He has a good chance of beating Sen. Cory Gardner (R). To donate to him, click here.

80-20 is very concerned over what have happened in big cities this past weekend. True to 80-20's tradition of taking non-partisan, courageous stands to fight for the welfare of AsAms and our nation, we want to declare our support for PEACEFUL demonstrations while strongly condemning riots & looting.

View this 1 minute and 47 second video. It gives the facts about both Pres. Trump and Dr. Fauci. I learned from it. 


For those you who are Republicans, after viewing this video, do you see any resemblance between the mainstream Republicans like Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush versus President Donald Trump? If not, work with us to rid our nation of Trump.

Please ignore the fundraising appeal at the end of the video and whatever other videos that may follow. If you feel like being generous today, please consider donating to 80-20 Empowerment PAC.

Learning Politics to Win Our Rights (II)

Why Will Dems always favor 
blacks and Hispanics way above AsAms?  

Please see the huge differences, shown below, between blacks & AsAms in "% share of vote" and "the size of bloc vote".

Blacks have a 12% national vote share and have voted 9 to 1 for every Dem. presidential candidate, DPC, for decades. Hispanics have an 11% national vote share and have recently voted 6 to 4 for DPC. AsAms have a 3% national vote share and have enlarged their bloc vote to 7 to 3 for those presidential candidates who gave written satisfactory promises to help us achieve equal opportunity. 

How Are We To Improve Our Destiny?

Just learn from the Jewish American community. Its population is only 1/3 that of the AsAm community. Look how politically powerful that community is! 

There is no secret to the Jewish success. That community has an NGO organization called American Israel Public Affairs CommitteeAIPACwhich is the key to its political power. AIPAC has the political know-how, and is extremely well funded - about $60 million in annual expenditure and $70 million in endowment. If our AsAm community had one single PAC that can afford an annual budget of 1/100 that amount, or $600k, then we'll begin seeing significant improvement in our political clout.

Will More Political Contributions to Pres. Candidates Help?

NO! Think what campaign money is for. It is to win votes. Let's say AsAms will contribute $20 million to a presidential candidate. It will only be 2% of the total campaign funds needed e.g. Hillary Clinton spent $1.2 billion in 20162% of the campaign fund pales when compared with what blacks do for a Dem. presidential candidate, which is to provide 20% or more of the total votes needed to win. 

Understand American politics! One day, enough people will realize that their money would be much better spent, when they donated it to 80-20 than to presidential candidates. Our community needs an organization, that understands politics and is well funded, to lead. That's how the Jewish did it.

How Hard Should We Try to Avoid Conflict With Other Minorities?

We should try to have good relations with all components of our nation. However, when some California AsAm elected state officials used "avoiding conflict with blacks and Hispanics" to vote for ACA-5, that was ridiculous!

Think! Did these AsAm elected officials use racial harmony as a reason to persuade their African American colleague NOT to introduce ACA-5? Why did they only haul it out as a reason to vote for ACA-5? 

80-20 led a successful campaign against SCA-5 six years ago. We didn't get any flak from black and/or Hispanic officials. We didn't get complaints from NAACP and La Raza either. 

In stating the above, is 80-20 being irresponsible or too harsh on some of these AsAm elected officials? No! 80-20 is describing the time-honored American political tradition - the elected officials are required to do their best to defend the interests of those who elected them, EVEN when such interests may NOT be in accord with the best interest of the nation. Examples? Congressional delegates of all 50 states are expected to fiercely oppose the elimination of obsolete military bases and wasteful federal programs from their own states, otherwise they face voter retaliation in the next election. That is the American political norm.
