| Thank you for your detailed reply which you posted as comment 4. I have supported Bush financially for both his elections. Both my wife and I contributed our max $ of 2000 each for each of his election year. I am now kicking myself for doing that. The money and effort my family and I gave to Bush was completely wasted. It did not do any good for the country nor for our children. I am a firm believer in your idea of a block vote. How do you see my effort and financial support can work to ... more ... |

| I am always under the impression that politicians care more about financial contributions. How come 80-20 doesn't emphasize giving money to your endorsed presidential candidates? Katy For commenting on #8 |

| An excellent question. Votes are much more important to politicians than money! Think. Why do they need money? Money enables candidates to hire campaign staff, buy TV ads, and hold mass events IN ORDER TO get votes. Since 80-20 PAC can deliver votes directly, it prefers to spend its very limited human and financial resources, on 1) endorsing the right candidate and 2) delivering the bloc vote. Note that 80-20 EF focuses on political education only. 80-20 EF doesn't endorse candida ... more ... |

| Dear Mr. Woo: I have been very grateful for what you have done to us Asian Americans, indeed. I became a member of 80/20 not long ago, being impressed by what you and all the staffs have done. Apart from what we have in the United States, my question is, do you think this 80/20 conceps would work in current situation in Taiwan? Or perhaps at least with the relative minorities in Taiwan, say, Hakka, or other minority as well? I appreciate your time. Kevin For commenting on #5 |

| A good question. The bloc vote strategy works for any minority anywhere, including Hakka in Taiwan. However, delivering an effective bloc vote is DIFFICULT. It has two requirements. 1) Finding a political subdivision (a state, county or city) where the concentration of the minority voter is the highest and whose election outcome is important. For instance, AsAms represent only 2% of the voters nationally. They are 8% of the voters in CA which has the largest electoral vote, 55. Furt ... more ... |

| How does one make a trade? How can you make sure the candidates deliver after they are elected? Isn't it true all presidential candidates promise something during elections to get the votes and after winning the election they will take whatever is the best course for themselves? So what good is a written promise when they all know once they are elected there is nothing we can do to make them stick to their promises until four years later during re-election. By that time our vote ... more ... |

| Excellent questions. 1. Not all promises are the same. Most Americans only know of verbal promises heard thru the media which are worthless because they are too vague to be pinned downed as a broken promise. WRITTEN promises are worth more. There are 3 different types of written promises. a. Verbose and generalized promises. Value: Questionable. b. Promises made to very specific questions stating either "Suppose" or "Oppose." Only powerful orgs like NAACP and NOW ... more ... |
