| Is there anything that we can do to raise the inequality issue in the workplace? I've worked at IBM and Microsoft. Even though both are good companies, the opportunities for Asians in management have been limited. Anyone else see this in other companies? For commenting on #17 |

| This is a pervasive problem nation-wide. Please see http://www.80-20educationalfoundation.org./projects/equalopp_washingtonpost_wpad.asp . President Obama has committed to enforcing an existing law to get rid of the glass ceiling for Asian Am. workers in private industries and universities. There should be progress fairly soon. Please read our e-newsleters and we'll keep you posted. SB For commenting on #18 |

| Mr. Woo: We all appreciate your great work for 80-20. I am trying along with Dr. Ko and his wife, and Mitsu to recruit more member in NJ. Somehow it seems to be hard to get new people now.

| Good afternoon, Irv Teranishi from APAPA forwarded to me a copy of the letter you recently sent to Secretary Solis. As an Asian American, I just wanted to say "Thank you!"

| Thank you, Juan, for helping Judy. You are a role model for us in practicing "enlightened self-interest." This is, you help your group/community/state/nation for your own long-term benefit. Thank you. SB For commenting on #10 |

| Allow me to ask a question in the same vein. :-) I know Judy personally. I think she is a good official and have therefore donated to her personally, although her service is relatively localized. NOW, 80-20 provides nationwide service for all Asian Ams for the last 10 years, what have you done or will do to help 80-20? :-) Good luck with Judy and your effort. Our efforts are complementary. Peace. S.B. Woo For commenting on #7 |

See below for a letter sent a week ago to Labor Secretary Hilda
Solis. She is authorized to enforce equal opportunity for all Americans.
through Exec. Order 11246. If you live in or close to her Congressional
District which includes Monterey Park, CA, you have probably donated
and voted for her. Judy Chu is now running for her vacant seat.
Here are the key points of 80-20 Educational Foundation's (EF) letter
to Sec. Solis:
"Dear Madame Secretary:
. . . I am requesting a meeting with you concerning a written commitment
by President Obama to the Asian American community to provide equal
opportunity in workplaces for Asian Americans, when he became the
President. His unequivocal commitment is attached below. . . . . . .
Then Sen. Obama was deeply moved by the information presented to
him by EF which included the following:
"Asian Americans have the least opportunity to enter management
when compared with blacks, Hispanics and women; the slowest
rate of progress toward equal employment opportunity, despite
having the highest educational attainment."
To see the validity of the above statement, please click on
http://www.80-20educationalfoundation.org/projects/equalopp_washingtonpost_wpad.asp
and see Tables 1 and 2 and related statements in a full page ad in the
Washington Post on 9/6/06. The data and conclusion have been verified,
in writing, by EEOC's Chief Statistician Ronald Edwards. If you
are interested, I can provide you with a copy of his letter. This ad had
also been entered into the Congressional Record by Sen. Tom
Carper of Delaware on 9/21/06. . . . . . .
Not a day should be lost in the delivery of equal opportunity to all
Americans. Not a day should be lost to help make America "a more
perfect Union."
I look forward to hearing from you soon. It will be an honor and a
privilege to meet with you and answer your questions.
Sincerely,
S. B. Woo, (title) , . . . "
The above is just to keep you posted. You need not take any action. If
you happened to correspond or see Sec. Solis, you are naturally welcome
to express our yearning for equal opportunity in workplaces ASAP.
See Table 1 to understand how badly we have been discriminated
against. See also how firmly President Obama believes in equal
opportunity for all Americans in his reply to 80-20's questionnaire.
For feedback to this email, leave your comments for all to read at
http://www.80-20educationalfoundation.org/posterboard.html .
I'd love to correspond with you. Thank you.
Respectfully yours,
S. B. Woo
President, 80-20 Educational Foundation, Inc.
