Are you planning to endorse before some candidate has the nomination locked up? Are you planning to endorse a candidate who has not signed the pledge? So, who will be endorsed? Vanna For commenting on #19

Theoretically the 80-20 bloc vote should be able to stop Bushing from winning in OH and FL in 2004; at least one of the two. But Bush won in both states. Why??? For commenting on #11

Comment/feedback # 12 (A feedback on # 11 )

Nice question. Keep such questions coming. There are differences & similarities between California and (Ohio/Florida). First the differences. In CA, AsAm is 12.5% of its population and 8% of its voters. In FL and OH, AsAm is respectively 2.1% and 1.5% of its population and 1% and 0.7% of its voters. Hence, for our bloc vote to make the difference, ALL OTHER VOTERS will have to vote 50.3% versus 49.7%. Apparently, the rest of voters didn't vote in such a close fashion or the AsAm in OH ... more ...

This is good information. As a citizen of this country of asian decent, what should I do now that I know this political secret? Will this lead to a promotion for my job? Should I call my local representative ? For commenting on #10

Comment/feedback # 13 (A feedback on # 10 )

If we deliver a bloc vote in 2008, our next president will likely enforce Exec. Order 11246 for Asian Americans. This will mean that your chance of being promoted to management will be 2 to 3 times higher. But no AsAm can be personally guaranteed a promotion. Don't call your Representative, unless you have a specific issue or complaint. For commenting on #13

Dear JIm: Your "exception" is well taken. That's why 80-20 is non-partisan and it decides whom to endorse by very objective standards and with a completely democratic process. The stadrads are 1) how the presidential candidate answers our questionnaire, and 2) what the candidate and his/her party has done for the AsAm community in the last 4 years. The process is through a Endorsement Convention whose delegates are elected by our members. The "delegateship" MUST be compoased ob 1/3 R, 1/3 D an ... more ...

Thank you for the work that you are doing! For commenting on #5

I would agree with your argument with one exception. African-Americans, as an example, are effectively disenfranchised because they throw their block vote behind only one party. As a result, Democrat politicians count the African-American vote as a sort of golf handicap, and Republican politicians don't bother campaigning in African-American neighborhoods. I know one Republican politician who campaigned extensively in East Orange, New Jersey, and yet he couldn't move the needle. For that reason, ... more ...

Once a month, you'll read here political secrets that made Cuban
Americans & Jewish Ams who are so small in numbers and yet so powerful
politically. This series is designed to empower YOU politically so that
TOGETHER we'll win equal opportunity and justice in America.. S. B. Woo

Subject: Why is a bloc vote so powerful?

David Broder, America's most respected political columnist, stated that
a bloc vote is "one of the unnoticed glories of American life." Why?
Because a bloc vote can make a small minority politically powerful
enough to protect themselves.

A bloc vote is, in the short run, much more effective than giving millions
of $$$ to politicians and/or registering tens of thousands of new voters
each year. Here is why.

One year, a Democratic presidential nominee (DPN) was running against
a Republican nominee (RPN) in a certain state which has 12 million
voters. That state had a small Jewish Am. community of 1 million votes.
It could deliver a bloc vote of 80-20 to its endorsed candidate. The
general community had 11 millions votes but didn't practice bloc votes.

The DPN decided to focus on the general community. The RPC decided
to focus on the Jewish community. When the ballots were counted, the
DPN won the general community by a margin of 52% to 48%. (Recall that
the last two presidential elections resulted in much smaller margin of
difference than that.) Hence the DPN had a 4% advantage in the
11 million votes, or a winning margin of 440,000 votes.

The RPN won the Jewish vote by a margin of 80% to 20%. Hence the
RPC had a 60% advantage in 1 million voters. That is a net advantage of
600,000 votes. As a result, the RPN won!

Wow, the power of a bloc vote!

Actually, the above is NOT about a "certain state and Jewish Ams." It is
about "California and Asian Ams." AsAms in CA are 8% of CA's 12
million votes which are just about1 million votes! The story is about our
political power when we practice a bloc vote!

All presidential candidates understand the power of a bloc vote. That
was why 9 of the 11 presidential candidates in 2004 answered 80-20's
questionnaire in 2004 with YES/YES/YES. Their promises were in writing
and signed! Go see the signatures and what they had promised AsAms:
http://www.80-20initiative.net/preselect2004.html

The above is the proof of the power of "Political Secret I."

Bush and Sharpton were the two who didn't respond positively.
Bush felt he could give up on CA and spend his money & effort more cost
effectively in Florida and Ohio. Too bad for us in 2004. BUT! 2008 is a
very different year.

GOP can no longer count on the "solid" South and Mid-West. Many
political experts have predicted that a RPN must try to win in CA.
Hence, GOP will have to either work with us or lose Calif and with it the
White House.

WITH YOUR HELP, 80-20 aims to use a bloc vote to get all presidential
candidates of 2008 to pay much more attention to our concerns!

More political secrets to come! Forward this SECRET now! Ask
your friends to join us in a bloc vote in 2008.
