Dear Peter:
It is really magnamous of you to admit that you didn't through my email before you
commented. :-) My apologies for being rude and "told you off."
80-20 believes that commitment from a candidate to help the Asian Am. community is
the most important factor. After that comes the consideration of the likelihood that
a candidate will winning. Once a candidate gets into the White House, there is NO chance
whatsoever that he/she will still work with you. He/She iwll have bigger interests -- the affair
of the state. However, if we have a signed promise in your hand as the 80-20 does, then it
counts. In other words, the time to insist on a solid promise from a presidential candidate
is when he/she still needs our help to win the presidential election.
Thanks.

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.
