A $10,000 Matching Fund for YOU!!!

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GETS GOING.
TOUGH: THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE.

A $10,000 Matching Fund

Alex New of NY, NY, an 80-20 Life Member, pledged that fund to
match dues of members joining from today on. If 200 of you will each
pay $50 to become family members, the sum is $10K, the full amount of the
matching fund. That means 400 additional members and $20,000
will be added to 80-20. That'll help keep 80-20 alive and fighting
for you. The red line below will shoot above the green line again!

Other Good News, Thanks to YOU

(a) Burst of Support: In the 3 days since 80-20 reluctantly announced that
"80-20 Is Dying", we got 73 more members. In addition, Alex
New pledged the $10K matching fund.

(b) Record Membership: A lot of people assumed that 80-20 is dying
because it has member ship problem. Not quite! Yhe Asian Am.
community has shown the GREATEST support for 80-20
EVER.

Thanks to YOU, 80-20 has just broken its highest membership record
of 2150 set in 2005 in a 12 month effort. This year, in 7 months, 80-20
has broken that record.

However, 80-20 Is Still Dying

80-20's problems are

(1) Its aging leadership and its failure to find replacements for the
retiring leaders, and

(2) Its failure to overcome the stubborn POLITICAL APATHY of our
community.

Hence, 80-20's Board has decided on a "fish or cut bait" gamble to either
double its membership or admit defeat, fold shop and let whatever
consequence fall where it may. "80-20 Is Dying (2)" will describe our
agonizing choices. 80-20 will really need YOUR help to find new
qualified leaders. It'll appear in your inbox soon.

Take Advantage of the Matching Fund & Join!

Moving Stories & Wall Street Journal on AsAms' Glass Ceiling

Moving Stories

Yesterday's "80-20 Is Dying (1)" email from 80-20 got such a heart-
warming response from you.

20 new members joined. In spite of the title: "80-20 Is Dying (1),"
4 noble souls joined for a 3-year subscription. S. K. Ho of Chelmsford, MA
even signed up for a Life Membership. What classy acts!

In addition, Andrew Mackinzie of Los Angeles, CA, a Caucasian who
happens to have received 80-20 emails, called S. B. Woo "the Martin
Luther King of Asian Americans," and joined as a member to help achieve
doubling.

Talking about "when the going gets tough, the tough gets going," those
individuals said it with actions. Let's keep our ONLY organized AsAm
political clout alive. Will you do your share?

Yesterday's Wall Street Journal Article:
"Study Finds Asians Occupying Few Corner Offices"

The highlights are:

Roughly 5% of U.S. residents identify themselves as Asian, but less than
2% of executive roles at Fortune 500 are Asian.
Asians are 16% at Ivy League Institutions, and 35% of under-graduates at
University of California at Berkeley, MIT & Stanford University
25% of Asian respondents said they face work-place discrimination, while
only 4% of Caucasians believe Asians are treated unfairly on the job

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904233404576462042857022426.html

The article's conclusion is that the unequal treatment to Asian Ams was
caused by our cultural difference with the rest of Americans.

Cultural Difference Is NOT the Cause

S. B. Woo wrote to the author Kyle Stoke. He agrees that cultural
differences could be a minor factor. However, the major reason is that
Asian Ams are not sufficiently politically organized to fend for ourselves.

Cultural differences have been used by the establishment to explain
away glaring discrimination against the powerless throughout American history.

Go back about 2 centuries, discrimination against the Irish, Polish & Italian,
all CAUCASIANS, were rampant. The reasons given by the establishment?
Supposed Cultural differences! The establishment view them as:

The Irish: perpetually drunk and forever 82c poor;
The Polish: dumb; and
Italians: not having the right work ethic.

Once the Irish, Polish and Italians got politically organized, they became
the "haves" and some of them began to discriminate against the other
powerless and newer immigrants.

Who are they? The Jewish, blacks, Hispanics, women and Asian Ams.!
Justification for discrimination? Supposed Cultural differences!

The Jewish: Well, you know those allegations
The blacks: Ditto the above
Hispanics: Ditto the above
Women: Too soft-hearted and soft-headed. Note that women were NO LESS
than the mothers, sisters and daughters of those with power - proof positive
that mankind's greed to protect existing interests knows no limits.

All those supposed cultural differences had vaporized, once the
Irish, the Polish, Italians, the Jewish, blacks, Hispanics and women have
organized their own political clout, and been given the equal opportunity to
rise to the maximum of their potentials.

80-20 is dying (1)

Know America!

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.net/images/data/top10.pdf

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.

Defending the Honor of the Chinese Am Community

Prologue: 80-20 is a Pan-Asian-American organization,
it serves all ethnic components of our community
including the Chinese-Am. community.

Many of you might have heard about a racial slur incident at the
University of California, San Diego. 80-20 has been quietly involved in
the investigation of this matter. To prevent untruthful rumors, 80-20
is making a complete report to the national community.

Background:

About 2 months ago, a laboratory rule stating "Don't believe anything
the Chinaman says" was discovered on a Univ. of California, San Diego
(UCSD) professor's website. The UCSD's Administration quickly ordered
the deletion of the offensive statement and apologized.

The professor also apologized. But he stated that the derogatory
statement was on his website without his knowledge. Since the statement
has been on the website for more than 2 years and his apology seems
ambiguous, the Chinese American community in SD was not satisfied. It
requested 80-20's help and put up a petition site, which was signed by
1500 persons in two days. The petition demanded "a full investigation …
involving at least two members of the Chinese American community in SD"
to find out if the professor's statement was true. If otherwise, it requests
due, severe consequence for the professor. See
http://admin.80-20nj.info/cgi/80/e?w=no&l=/8/11p/f&w=no

Outcome:

o UCSD appointed 3 Chinese American faculty members to help assess
the report of the inquiry. The 3 professors have vouched in writing
that after a thorough inquiry there is "no inference of anti-Asian bias
by the professor."

o UCSD sent a campus-wide educational communique and created a
new "Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity & Inclusion" to prevent
future similar incidents and to enhance Equity, Diversity & Inclusion.

o The professor concerned send a 2nd apology stating
"It is most regrettable that an unacceptable derogatory statement
appeared in the website of my laboratory. I sincerely apologize to
the entire Chinese community, which has my highest respect. . . . I
take full responsibility for this most unfortunate happening."

For details and the formal documents involved, visit
http://admin.80-20nj.info/cgi/80/e?w=no&l=/8/11p/f&w=no

Before ending, we want to thank the Admin 2dc istration of UCSD for
understanding the concerns of the Chinese Am. community and for
its cooperation.

Know Anyone Looking For A Job?

80-20 is looking for a "Special Assistant To The President." The job pays $45

However, one is not permitted to take on another job. Please send the resume to
S. B. Woo via sbw@udel.edu. A cover letter is required stating why one is
interested in such a job.

The job may be ideal for a young, talented, energetic and idealistic person with a
Bachelor's degree and having the passion to serve our community through the political
process. PLease state your SAT scores and cum. average at graduation.

website development. Good English ability is required. Politics knows no evenings
and weekends. When there is a job to be done, we, including S.B. Woo, attend to it.

you.

Sincerely,

S. B. Woo

July 4th & a Rising Asia

Dear Fellow Asian Americans:

First, on July 4th, help celebrate the founding of a great nation, our
nation, the United States of America -- display a flag at your home and in
your stores.

For all the first generation immigrants, who voluntarily changed our
citizenship we knew from that moment on that we owed our primary
allegiance to the USA. However, the change of citizenship doesn't require
us to lose our affection for the people of our respective old countries --
people of Asia. No one can expect human beings to sever their affection
for and identity with their ethnic brothers and sisters at the result of a
"naturalization ceremony." Human beings are not automatons. Those who
act like automatons are not trustworthy -- at the drop of another "ceremony"
the allegiance can switched again.

Secondly, whether you are the first or nth generation immigrants, stand
up and fight for your rights as a full-fledged citizen. There is irrefutable
evidence that Asian Americans are not accorded equal opportunity yet.
Our youngsters are required to meet higher bars to enter first rate
universities owing to affirmative action -- too many Asian Am. students in
such universities. Our adults meet higher bars to become managers and
administrators INSPITE OF the existence of affirmative action.

That we get the short ends for both adults and children is outrageous.
Do your part to FIGHT and win equal opportunity for yourself, your
offspring, and at the same time help America achieve its stated core value
-- equal opportunity for all.

Thirdly, the center of economic gravity is shifting steadily toward Asia.
America will fare better in Asia, if and when Asians know that Asian
Americans are equal citizens in the USA. Asian nations are NOT likely to
trust the USA when they see that Asians, even as US citizens, are not
treated equally. We, Asian Ams, by fight to become equal citizens ASAP,
will help America to achieve a strategic goal that no amount of diplomatic
and militarily menuevering by the State Department can accomplish.

We are indeed America's best human assets to reach Asia in the era of
"A Rising Asia". Gary Locke, America's Amabassador to China, is only the
first prominent example. Mark my word that many more will follow.
Think and act to help Gary to succeed as our ambassador.

If you have money, please give generously to our cause. It you don't
have money, please give your time. TOGETHER, we shall overcome.

EASIEST way to empower yourself & your children

EMPOWER YOURSELF! Be a voter.

In 2008, only 2.5 of the 6 million eligible AsAms voted. Imagine if all
6 million had voted and that they are known to ALWAYS vote in
presidential PRIMARIES. We will be equal citizens of he US, without
batting an eyelash. In America, the easiest way to help make immigrants
equal citizens is through the political process -- voting power under expert
political guidance.

Below is for US citizens who have NOT registered
to vote, or have moved to a new address. Otherwise,
this email doesn't concern you.

Here is the EASIEST WAY to register to vote! Takes 10 minutes or less.

Click on https://ssl.capwiz.com/congressorg/nvra/, you'll see a map. Click
on your state. That leads you to a form. Everything from here on is
easy. Be sure to download, print, and mail in your apllication form.

Your state, upon receiving your application, will mail you a" voter
registration card." YOU NEED TO FILL THAT OUT AND MAIL IT IN. Only
then are you registered. Note that registering to vote is ALWAYS A TWO-
STEP PROCESS, whether you register via a website 
or go to a
registration place in person.

GO TO: https://ssl.capwiz.com/congressorg/nvra/ NOW! Take 10 minutes
only!!! Be a voter for your children's and grand-children's sake.

When the "Voter Registration Card" comes, you may want to choose
to vote by absentee PERMANENTLY. That is you VOTE BY MAIL instead of going
to a polling place. It is again the easiest way!!! Forward this e-mail

Opportunities Abound - presidential primaries!

Presidential elections are around the corner, 80-20 wants to empower
the entire Asian American community with these facts.

DO YOU KNOW???

1) The number of PRIMARY voters is normally only 1/5 (1 out of 5) that
of the GENERAL presidential elections*?

2) PRIMARY candidates are numerous e.g. there are 8 GOP presidential
candidates today? The spreading of votes makes 80-20's bloc vote even
more powerful. Why do Republican presidential candidates play to the
ultra conservative and the religious right? Because they vote in
primaries and in blocs.

3) In a PRIMARY, only registered party members may votein mt states?
Let's for simplicity assume that it is 1/3 each for D/I/R.

Mathematics & Astounding Revelation

If you do the math (1/5 x 1/8 x 1/3) = 1/120 = 0.8 %, it means that an
average candidate in a Republican PRIMARY will only get 0.8% of the votes
cast in presidential GENERAL election. What is the % of Asian Am voter in
the general election nationally; in most of the populous states; in CA?
Respectively, 2%; 3.5%; and 8%. Compare those percentages with
0.8% and think!!!

Opportunity!

If all AsAms register as Republicans, and all (instead of just 1/5) vote in
the PRIMARY, the Republican presidential candidates will henceforth
campaign to two groups -- 1) the religious right and 2) Asian Americans.

Note: Voters may vote for anyone during the GENERAL election, which-
ever party one is registered in.

Which is the more important to Asian Ams,
the primary or the general election?

The PRIMARIES ! See reasons stated above.

What Is 80-20 All About?

Mission: To help make the 16 million Asian Americans equal citizens.

Methodology: To get the 2 major political parties to COMPETE to serve
our rightful concerns by the usage of our bloc vote.

Effectiveness & Primary: See the HISTORIC document in the bottom.

Want to keep 80-20 alive? It is by far the largest Asian Am. political
action committee. Save it by joining & doubling its membership. Using a credit

year, my prediction is that it'll be 1/5 again.

President Obama's Signed Commitment to AsAms Sent to 80-20
Shortly Before the 2008 Presidential Primary in California

Call To Action - focus on CA, NY, HI & VA

Background:
Congresswoman Judy Chu together with others have intro-
duced a bipartisan House Resolution 282 for the House to
express regret over past decades of anti-Chinese legislations,
including the Chinese Exclusion Act. The parallel Senate
Resolution 201 seems in good shape. H.R. 282 may need a few
more sponsors. If you live in areas densely populated by
AsAm voters, you can help greatly & be a part of history.

If you live in CA, HI, NY, or VA and live in one of the following
Congressional Districts, congratulations! You can be a part of history --
you are almost guaranteed to get your Representative to co-sponsor H.R.
282. All you have to do is to get together, say, 20 friends in your District
and politely request your Congressperson's cosponsorship. There are so many
Asian Am. voters in those districts, that no Representative in his/her right
mind would refuse. Otherwise, the next election may be difficult for
him/her when displeased voters will cast their votes.

This is how democracy works. Your Congressperson is obligated to work
for you, when it is obviously the right thing to support and no
allocation of additional resources is required from the Congress.

A sample letter is ready for you at http://80-20initiative.blogspot.com/.
Please do the easy 4 steps, stated in 80-20's "Call To Action" of 3 days ago.
After having sent your request, wait for 3 to 4 days and then call your
Rept's D.C. office to ask to speak to your Rept. or his/her chief of staff.
Without that crucial follow-up, your email is UNLIKELY to bear fruit. It
takes at least another phone call.

Thank you. Have fun & enjoy the fruits of your endeavor. This may
be the kind of success that you will be proud to tell you grandchildren. :) :)

CALL TO ACTION -- estimated chance of success is 99.9%,
if you get involved!

On May 26 Repts. Judy Chu (D-CA) and Judy Biggert (R-IL) introduced
a bipartisan resolution (not a bill) expressing regret for six decades of
legislation targeting the Chinese people for physical and political
exclusion, including the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act. It is known
as House Resolution 282. A parallel bipartisan Senate Resolution
201 was also introduced by Sens. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) and Scott Brown
(R-MA).

On May 28, Cong. Chu asked 80-20 to help secured co-sponsors of both
resolutions. This "Call To Action" is to ask YOU to help secure co-
sponsorship from your own Congressperson.

80-20 never asks our supporters to do anything which it doesn't do itself.
So, we first spent the last 6 days securing co-sponsors ourselves. Result? A
complete success! The ENTIRE congressional delegation of Delaware, the
First State, became co-sponsors. Senator Tom Carper & Christ Coons
are co-sponsoring S. Res. 201. Delaware's one and only Congressman,
John Carney, co-sponsors H. Res. 282. When S.B. wrote to thank each,
Senator Tom Carper emailed back and said, "S.B. you are welcome, but
it is we who should thank you. All the best. Tom"

Will you please work with 80-20 to become a successful lobbyist of your
own Congressperson? It'll be educational and fun. :-)

1) Click on http://www.congressmerge.com/onlinedb/ to go to a map.
Click on your state, then click on the "Contact Form" to the right of
Your Congressperson's name. Fill out the info that is required by your
Rept. You are ready to email the following.

2) Use your own words but state something as shown below:

"I am an Asian American, and I urge you to co-sponsor the bipartisan
H. Res. 282. For background information, please find the research
done by Mr. Harlan Geer on S. Res. 201, at the request of Sen. Carper
of DE, which is almost identical to S.R. 282. Sen. Carper is now a co-
sponsor of H.R. 201.

'Dear Senator Carper:

I am following up on Mr. Woo’s request that you cosponsor Senate
Resolution 201. . . . . Here is some background on this issue:

Starting in 1882, Congress passed a series of discriminatory anti-
Chinese laws, most notably the Chinese Exclusion Act. This bill barred
anyone 1000 of Chinese descent from immigrating to America. This was
the first federal law barring any race or ethnicity of people from
immigrating to the United States. The original bill barred anyone from
China immigrating for 10 years, while an amendment passed two years
later barred immigration of any person of Chinese descent, regardless
of whether they are immigrating from China or any other country. A
bill in 1892 extended this ban another 10 years, while a bill in 1902
extended this ban indefinitely. (emphasis added by S. B. Woo) After 41
years, Congress repealed the ban in 1943, coinciding with the Chinese
allying with the US during World War II. Congress never passed a bill
or resolution expressing regret or apologizing for the original ban.

Recommendation:

. . you should cosponsor S. Res 201. The 1882 Chinese Exclusion laws
unfairly targeted people of Chinese origin and descent on the basis of
anti-Chinese prejudices and for no other reason. . . . Harlan'

Please co-sponsor H Res 282. All Chinese Americans, perhaps all Asian
Americans since we are mostly in the same boat, in your district
will thank you! Please be so kind as to let me know of your decision.
Thank you.

Sincerely,
[Yours full name.
Title (if you have an impressive title, use it & add (title
is for identification purposes only))]"

3) Copy and Paste item 2 onto the window for your "message."

4) After you have e-mailed your congressman, let me know his or her name,
party affiliation, state, and Congressional District number.

Congratulations, you are now a lobbyist! :) Let me know when your
Congressperson replies to tell you whether to co-sponsor or not. Do NOT
forward me his/her form reply.

You are DONE! Step by step, we become full-fledged US citizens --
upholding all our responsibilities and demanding our full rights.

Our core weakness, political APATHY

Click on http://www.80-20initiative.net/about/membership.asp . About
1/5 of our 2,000 members have pledged to help 80-20 combat political
APATHY -- our core weakness. See those names in pink and blue.

These noble individuals have not only financially supported our
community's political needs. They now put themselves on the line to get
their friends & relatives involved politically.

Wow! That kind of activism shall make us STRONG!

Asian American are the best educated, having the highest average
income. Why are 
we openly dealt with as 2nd class citizens? See below:

Answer: Our political APATHY!

We ignore politics, focusing on education, and jobs. We don't seem to 

have the sophistication to realize that the purpose of a good education
is 
to get a good job, while good jobs and politics are related.

When we don't pay attention to politics in a democracy, we, the
smallest of minorities, 
are shortchanged in good jobs, especially when we
reach the prime of our lives 
and are ready to take on the more
responsible jobs.

Hundreds of 80-20's members have stepped forth to combat
political APATHY. In another couple of weeks, we expect 600 to
1,000. With an army of that size, we can make a difference.

"Give a man a fish & he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, it serve
him a lifetime."

80-20 has amply delivered in political deeds, as reported in "80-20's Top
Ten 
Accomplishments." To review what the accomplishments are, please
Visit http://www.80-20initiative.net/images/data/top10.pdf . With your
help, we now go after the root cause of our political weakness -- political
APATHY.

Be a role model. Get involved!

2) If you are not a member, join now!

At least 4 more GOP senators and 1 Dem senator need to vote to break
the GOP block on Goodwin's nomination. The key Senators are shown

GOP senator who supposedly have already committed to vote to

Murkowski (Alaska).

Find a hook in the contents of you email. The hook must be truthful.
Otherwise, it'll ruin the reputation of the AsAm community. Examples of
hooks are:
1) I am a voter in your state, or I used to live in your state. Give address.
2) I have relatives and friends living in your state. Or I contributed to
your campaigns. Or I am a Republican/Dem. (Note:
Otherwise we ruin our community's reputation.)
3) We met. Specify when and where.
4) I usually vote R/D. But I am really unhappy about your Party
blocking judicial nominees for partisan politics.

Mention that you are an 80-20 supporter. Get the GOP senators accustomed
to knowing 80-20.

Goodwin Liu came from Georgia. That counts with GA senators. So 1f6 I hope a
lot of AsAms in Georgia will email. The more the two political parties
hear from us, the more they will pay attention to AsAms. Most AsAms
don't know that interconnection. 80-20 knows. Together we shall
overcome.

The Best of 80-20's 10 Accomplishments

The Best of 80-20's 10 Accomplishments

Take a look at the statistics shown in the chart below. Do you think that Asian Ams have been
discriminated in workplaces?

Ponder! Could the stars align themselves, as shown in the second bullet? Or have good people
with deep political knowledge done spade work?

When E.O. 11246 is enforced as the Dept of Labor has
promised, about 1.5 million Asian Americans will benefit
DIRECTLY, finally gaining equal opportunity. 1.5 million
Asian Am workers !! That is why 80-20 ranks this feat as its
TOP ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Try to recall if any government official or private organization,
be they AsAm or non-AsAm, has given you and your children
such service in the past?

If not, do you want to keep 80-20 alive by joining and doubling
its size? The enforcement of EO 11245 is NOT a reality until
our bars in the chart above are as TALL as everyone else'.
YOU BE THE JUDGE whether the AsAm community NEEDS
at least one effective national Political Action Committee.

Forward this email to your friends -- the last of 80-20's "Top 10
Accomplishments" series.

2nd Top Accomplishment

EXTRA! In yesterday's email, 80-20 predicted a 90% chance for Edward Chen to get the 
Senate confirmation as a Federal District Judge. HE DID!

If 80-20 didn't exist how might your life be different?

Substantively, without 80-20, the % of AsAm federal judges may still only
be at 0.7% of the federal life-tenured judges, and all at the lowest rank of
District Judges. Yet, we have 4.5% of the nation's population, and a
disproportionately larger share of legal workers, many of whom are
graduates of top tier law schools.

Psychologically, and more significantly, having witnessed how 80-20
has successfully induced the US political leaders to address our concerns,
Asian Ams became aware that we are NOT destined to be 2nd class
citizens. We just need to organize our own GROUP political clout!

Nationally, America becomes "a more perfect Union."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

ADDITIONAL POLITICING by 80-20 to cause the
above DRASTIC imporvement.

Relying on Pres. Obama's willingness to help is not enough. We must
strive on our own. Recall that "God helps those who help themselves."

Here is what 80-20 did in addition to getting Obama's commitment.

1) 80-20 wrote every senior Dem. Senator in the 50 states urging
them to recommend qualified AsAms as federal life-tenured judges.
Most AsAms may not know this political protocol. The President
simply picks one of the 3 suggested by Senior Senators of his own
party.

2) In addition, 80-20's Board members talked to every one of those
senators or their legal counsel or the Chair of their Judicial
Nomination Committee urging the same and mainstained some
contact.

3) Furthermore, 80-20 donated to all who responded positively to 80-
20's prompting, after the nominations have been confirmed by the
Senate.

80-20 does a lot of quiet spadework for the community that most AsAms
don't even know how to begin. That is 80-20's immense value. Do you
want to help 80-20 live?

Call to Action

Call to Action

You signed an 80-20 petition to President Obama urging him to
renominate Edward Chen and Goodwin Liu as federal judges? Pres. Obama
responded by renominating those 2 jurists 4 times in spite of repeated
blocks by the Senate Republicans. Thanks to 11 GOP senators who
recently changed their minds, Edward Chen's block has been
lifted! He'll faces a straight up and down vote in the full senate today!!

If you send a fax to your own senators ASAP, you'll likely help get Edward
Chen of N. CA to become a life-tenured Federal District Judge. Just
state in your own words the central message as shown below:

"Please vote to confirm Edward Chen as a District judge. Thank you.
Your name, title (optional) and postal address."

Edward Chen will soon face a straight up and down senate vote. If you'll
FAX your own senators, 80-20 will give Chen a 90% chance to acquire the
Senate confirmation.

To find the fax number of your state's senators, click on

80-20's 3rd Top Accomplishment

If 80-20 didn't exist how might your life be different?

The above landmark achievement, a signed promise by the President of
our great nation to help Asian Americans achieve equal opportunity, WOULD
NOT exist. Please read the above historic document. The commitments
are truly significant. They are being carried out.

These commitments mean that instead of waiting 75 years to achieve equality,
we may not even have to wait for 10. Even a 73-year-old like me may
live to see it.

Did 80-20 Get the Commitments Because It Is Pro-Democrat?

No! Quite to the contrary, 80-20 fought the leading Democratic candidates to
get these commitments. We fisrt fought Hillary Clinton. When she
signed on, we fought Barack Obama. We fights even spilled into the public.
To see how fierce the battles were, see the titles of 80-20's emails during that
period:

"Call To Action - Fax Sen. Obama" Monday, December 17, 2007
"Call To Action - Defeat Obama" Thursday, December 27, 2007
"Defeat Obama" &nbsp Monday, December 31,2007
"A Historic Fight In California*" Friday, Januart 18, 2008
"Sen. Obama Replied with all YESES" Thursday, January 31, 2008

The above email titles can still be found at 80-20's website. Click on
http://80-20initiative.blogspot.com . However, the contents, valid only
PRIOR to Obama's commitment to our community, have been deleted.

Do you know any AsAm organization
which dares to wage such a struggle?
80-20 did. Why? Were leaders of 80-20
simply dumb or simply dedicated?

If your conclusion is that we are dedicated, are you willing to encourage us
by joining as members for your children's sake?

Was The Above A Victory For 80-20?

NO! It was probably candidate Obama's respect for America's core
value -- equal opportunity -- that made him decide to work with 80-20
to make his epic commiment. However, without any doubt, 16 million
AsAms made progress towards equal opportunity. In addition, America
became "a more perfect Union." Please FORWARD thi 53d s e-newsletter to
your friends.

To show our deep appreciation of Obama's noble commitments which might
and may still cost him politically, 80-20's volunteers worked our hearts
out for Obama in the battleground states in 2008.
