Will You be a Knight?

      SELF is at $843,000/yr for 5 years,  while actual money received is about $1.66 million. To reach the next milestone of $850,000, we only need 7 knights to each donate $1000/yr, or 14 knights to each donate $500/yr or 70 knights to each donate $100/yr for 5 yrs.

       Please help 80-20 reach this next milestone in TWO days.

Help Save 80-20 PAC this Long Weekend

     I urge you with a sense of urgency to consider using a bit of your time to help save 80-20 PAC during this long weekend.  Do 2 things please.

                          (1) " Like" and Forward the Video:

     Click on  https://youtu.be/SUwjKsZHX6U.  View and "like" it i.e. give it the thumbs up in the lower right hand corner of the screen. 

    

     Forward  this link to your friends:  https://youtu.be/SUwjKsZHX6U

Tell them that it's an informative, highly-rated 3-part video.  

              Part 1 is entitled " Discrimination", which is only 2 minutes & 15 seconds.  

              Part 2 is "Hope", 3'15".  

              Part 3 is " Money Talks", 1'30".  

 

Please use your own words to ask your friends to consider making a significant donation of at least $100/yr for 5 yrs.  For those who can afford it, ask them to give $1,000/yr for 5 yrs, better yet $10,000/yr.   :-)

                            (2)  We Are Way Behind Schedule.

      To reach the target of $1,000,000/yr for 5 yrs, we needed to reach $850,000/yr 7 days ago.  We are currently at  $841,000/yr only.  So we are way behind our schedule.  

      Please consider increasing your own donation so that we can reach $850,000/yr in 3 more days.  If YOU help 80-20 achieve that goal, I, S. B. Woo, will be privileged to match your donations. I'll increase my annual donation to $8,000/yr.  

        Click here to donate today.  The clock is ticking!

Updates: presidential election & college admissions

The $4 million war chest could VANISH on Oct. 25

                       Regarding the 2016 Presidential Election

     A few days ago, MSNBC requested 80-20's recommendation of AsAms as possible audience members for the presidential debates of both parties and afterwards join "focus group" discussions regarding the performance of the candidates. All expenses including travel will be paid by MSNBC.

     Nine persons volunteered.  All were recommended.  In addition, 80-20 recommended 10 great supporters.  

     To the 19 recommended:  If you were selected, please share the political knowledge you will have gained from your participation.  Please pay forward and pay backward.   Together, we shall overcome.  

                                   On College Admissions

     The following response to a NY Times article seems most apropos.   It was submitted by Dr. Hong-Yee Chiu, a friend.  Enjoy reading it and pass it on.

     "The studies described in " Racial Wealth Gap Persists Despite Degree, Study Finds" (Aug.17, 2015) contained a hidden bias. College admission policies have reduced the standards for admissions for minorities (i.e. blacks and Hispanics). The studies assumed that all college graduates are equal. They are not.  After graduation, those who were admitted with the higher academic standards tend to outperform those who were admitted with the lesser standards. The performance in jobs determines the wealth level. I believe, if the studies also include this factor, the researchers will find that minorities (admitted under the same high standards) will perform just as well as the whites and Asians. It is the same as athlete selection. If the selection of athletes uses the same philosophy as college admissions, then the results are obvious - those who were given special favors in the selection process will have inferior performance. It is not the race factor. It is the college admission policies that cause the difference." (Emphasis added by S. B. Woo)

                       

           A $4.1 million War Chest could Vanish,

     if YOU don't do your share.  If SELF doesn't reach the $1 million/yr for 5 yrs goal i.e. $5 million raised in total over 5 yrs in another 59 days, all donations will  be refunded in full upon request.  The deadline is Oct 25.  The clock is ticking.

                                            DONATE TODAY!

MSNBC's Urgent Request to 80-20 Regarding 2016 Election

Interested in 2016 Presidential election? Read this: Urgent Inquiry to 80-20 from MSNBC

MSNBC's URGENT INQUIRY to 80-20:    A producer at MSNBC, Michele Sobel, emailed S. B. Woo to request his recommendation of Asian Americans residing in battle ground states.  Purpose? It wants to form "a small, diverse pool of voters from across the country to bring to NYC or other debate locations, (and use the group) as  a sort of "focus group" of voters across the country."      "Can you recommend a few well-spoken voters who might be willing to join us so I can give them a call and speak with them?  It is a fairly decent time commitment, we would want to travel them for each debate (expenses paid.)"    She then lists the dates of 1) Republican debates 2) Democratic debate and Caucus and primary election dates, which I shall not reproduce.  She'll send the information to you again.    If a SELF donor or a PAC member is interested in  participating, please email me to volunteer.  Otherwise, I will be providing MSNBC with a list of names  by 8 p.m. tomorrow evening, together with their respective email addresses.  She will get in touch with you, to  1) provide you with all the dates, and 2) see if there is a mutual fit.  :-)    This is a wonderful chance to experience & understand presidential elections. To be acquainted and indeed be a part of a "focus group".  See how high-priced political consultants think and operate - they may not be elected, but they have a huge influence on the election of our president.  The Asian Am. community needs many more people who have that kind of political experience.  Don't be shy please.    Volunteer.   [ Note: (1) I will not be participating, because I can't make that kind of time commitment, and (2) You are NOT asked to represent 80-20.  You'll just represent yourself. :-) ]                         Don't Forget the SELF Campaign    We have raised  $812,000/yr for 5 yrs already.  Don't let this $4 million war chest vanish.  We need to reach $1 million/yr for 5 yrs in another 63 days.  The clock is ticking! The easiest way is to recruit your spouse or parents or children to donate $100/yr for 5 years.                                     DONATE TODAY!  S. B.

Great News. 4 million raised/1.6 million in the bank.

             Great news 

     Total donations are now $802,000/yr for 5 yrs.  That means you have raised $4 million pledged over the next 5 years. $1.6 million is already in the bank.  Click here to verify.

                Let's Not Lose This Great War Chest

   

     The war chest may vanish, since  80-20 has promised to refund all donations in full, if requested, if SELF fails to reach $1 million/yr. The clock is ticking.  Only 63 days left.  

              Our Best and Brightest Urge You to Help:             

       A Great Scientist and University President Urged Support for SELF

      Dr. Paul Ching-Wu Chu  wrote his friends asking for their help.  He is the first scientist to demonstrate high-temperature superconductivity, winner of National Medal of Sciences, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and the former President of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.  He is a $3000/yr for 5 yrs donor.  He wrote:

     "Dear Colleagues,

          I have been impressed for a long time by S. B. Woo's selfless dedication to advancing the welfare of all Asian Americans by creating the 80-20 National Organization and serving as its voluntary president for (many) the last 16  years while having a distinguished career in academy and politics.  SB  recently realizes the importance of  money in realizing the American dreams for Asian Americans  ...

          In view of the recent episodes that have occurred to Asian Americans,  and Chinese  Americans in particular, e.g. Sherry Chen (NY Times, May, 2015),  SB's proposition makes  great sense and is most timely. I would like to ...  encourage  you all to support the Fund ...  for fighting  the legal rights of us all  and our future generations  in the United States, our country.   ...   We  should do all we can to prevent the return of  McCarthyism of the 50's."

                  

     Needless to say, whatever 80-20 has achieved was a group effort. Please help publicize the above news in social media. 

               The best way to get us to $850,000/yr quickly 

       

The easiest way is to recruit your spouse or parents or children as donors of $100/yr for 5 years.

     You can even pay for them, so long as they concur. This is legal as a donation to a 501 c-3 organization.   All 80-20 Board Members have agreed to recruit one relative today. We hope to reach $850,000/yr  in one week.   DONATE TODAY!

80-20 Mission Statement

80-20's Top 10 Accomplishment, published 3 years ago.  

The Clock is Ticking!

Why are some of us so partisan?  

                                      Look at the Big Picture 

When, God forbid, we are being sent to internment camps, &/OR

when our kids are being  discriminated in college admissions , &/OR

when we face  glass ceiling in workplace, &/OR

when we are  demonized  by the likes of Bob Beckel, &/OR

when we are beaten  with a baseball club by rednecks for "losing" their jobs, &/OR

when we are "accused  of spying until we are not " by FBI,

     Are we asked whether we are Democrats or Republicans?  Will either answer make a difference?  So, why are we so partisan?

                                  Look at 80-20 

     80-20 is NOT partisan.  Our aim is to help all Asian Ams become equal citizens. Our methodology is to lead a swing bloc vote.   Why?  To induce both political parties to compete to serve our rightful interests by appealing to each party's own self-interest which is winning the next election.  

                      Is 80-20 a Democratic Front?  Here are the facts.

1. Democrats are for "race preference" in college admission.  80-20 has led the AsAm community to oppose race preference admissions since May, 2012.

2. CA Democratic leadership engineered the SCA-5 -- a CA  constitutional amendment to permit "race preference" admissions.  80-20 helped stop it.  See what Economist, a prestigious international weekly newspaper, has to say about 80-20's role in "STOP SCA-5."

     "THE 80-20 initiative, an Asian-American lobby group, scored its first big success last October when it forced Jimmy Kimmel, a television host, to apologize (in writing) ... This week the group pulled off a more edifying win, defeating an attempt to allow Calif. universities to take account of race when deciding whom to admit."

3. When 2 Democratic politicians in CA betrayed the rightful interests of AsAms, 80-20 declared to drive them out of politics (Sen. Leland Yee and Assemblyman Paul Fong).  80-20 delivered.

     Look into the  background of those who have lied about 80-20.  Do these liars' livelihood depend heavily on the fortune of the Republican Party?  In contrast, 80-20's leadership has no position with the Democratic Party.  Nor will they accept federal government appointments.

     80-20 doesn't endorse candidates who are not willing to give written promises to help AsAms achieve equal opportunity

     Not a single Republican presidential candidate has answered 80-20's questionnaires.  So none was endorsed.  In contrast, Obama, Biden and H. Clinton did.  Indeed, which Republican candidate did answer our questionnaire while her Democratic opponent didn't, and was endorsed by 80-20?  Who? Meg Whitman  who ran against Jerry Brown for CA governor.

THINK.  Would you want 80-20 to support politicians with our bloc vote,  without a written promise?  Is that politically wise?

Asian Am. Republicans:      Please help our community build a great war chest, SELF.  Empowering ourselves is the only real answer.

    The Clock is Ticking.   DONATE TODAY!  Help recruit Republicans .  We are only $2k/yr short of $800,000/yr for 5 yrs.   Which two persons  will get us there?
