A good question! Normally no. Since Hsu's giving to 80-20 is one decision and
80-20's giving to Hillary are two independent decisions. Indeed, if Hsu
were to give to 80-20 Educational Foundation, then given EF's record in educating Asian
Ams in politics, the media may even come to a conclusion that Hsu has served some
redeeming function. Note that the politicians were giving their "Hsu money" to
public service orgs. 80-20 EF which educates AsAms regarding Am. politics will
be one of the most appropriate orgs to receive such money. EF teaches AsAms not to
be involved in politics like Hsu and John Haung. So 80-20 can't possibly come under
negative light, we receive money from thousands of donors. AS a public service org. we
don't have any reason to, nor required to, vet the background of our givers. On
the other hand, if Hsu were to give 80-20 an x amount, and 80-20 within the NEXT
FEW DAYS gave the SAME amount to Hillary then people may infer that 80-20 was doing Hsu's bidding. SB

A New Asian Am. Scandal?
80-20 EF's "Don't Be Made A Sucker" was
only 6 days old, when
another Asian Am. who raised funds for Sen. Clinton is clobbered in the
media and will probably end up in jail. His name is Norman Hsu. By now,
you have likely heard of him.
What can be learned form this and other similar campaign finance
scandals that have occurred too frequently in OUR community?
I like to suggest 3 DOs.
1) Respect the rules of democracy,
2) Realize that in Asia, people like us live as a part of the majority.
Therefore, politics can be a hobby and is often used for personal gains.
In the US, we live as a small minority, with much prejudice against
us.
Therefore, politics is a must because we need GROUP political clout
to defend ourselves.
3) To achieve the above, we must give time and money to political orgs
such as the 80-20 PAC. That is how Jewish Ams and Cuban Ams won
their equal opportunity and justice.
To help get the above points across, here are 3 DO-
NOTs.
1) Don't ever go against the laws governing politics/elections in America,
2) Don't be seduced by the sweet talks of politicians. Examine their record
of service to us before helping them,
3) Don't believe that politicians will do things for us unless we have
the clout to reward or punish their political careers.
How are Norman Hsu's political friends treating him now? Just read
these
headlines.
"A Fundraiser Shunned" - The Washington Post, 8/30/07
"Democrats Turn From Hsu" - The Los Angeles Times, 8/30/07
"Democrats Abandon Fundraiser бн " - San Francisco Chronicle,
8/30/07
All this after Norman Hsu has given/raised so much money for Sen.
Clinton
and other Democratic candidates. Now you know why 80-20 PAC sent
questionnaires to presidential candidates and asked for signed written answers
in Yes or No.
