A week ago, USA Today's started a Special Report. Its front page top
headline screamed "Combat Chinese Spying."
http://www.usatoday.com/money/world/2007-07-22-china-spy-1_N.htm?csp=34
Two days later, Part 2 of the Report headlined
"Against China's Tech Spies." In San Francisco, FBI placed ads in
Chinese papers seeking information on persons and events endangering
our national security.
Is there a chilling effect on Asian Ams, and particularly Chinese Ams?
You bet. Will such articles have adverse effects on our lives? You bet.
Under such an atmosphere, are we likely to enjoy equal opportunity in
workplaces? No way. Ask yourself, does your boss care more about
your career or his/her own career? What is easier? Shoulder the possible
liability of having promoted a Chinese industrial or military spy? Or, not
promoting you at all? If you are Asian but non-Chinese, ask yourself,
does your boss differentiate one Asian from another? Vincent Chin, a
Chinese American, was bashed to death by a baseball bat because two
Detroit autoworkers took him to be a Japanese.
80-20 doesn't get into the US foreign policy. However, 80-20 stands four
square to protect equal opportunity and justice for all Asian Americans!
The political secret is: YOU MUST GET INVOLVED NOW when the
presidential candidates need our bloc vote and are therefore willing to
share our concerns. That was why 80-20 PAC sent questionnaires to
presidential candidates asking them to promise in writing the vigorous
enforcement of Exec. Order 11246. 3 of the 8 Democratic presidential
candidates have already given 80-20 their iron-clad promises. Visit:
http://www.80-20initiative.net/preselect2008.html . Under EO 11246,
statistics are used to measure objectively whether Asian Americans enjoy
equal opportunity in workplaces.
Here is how 80-20 EF views the alarming situation.
Protecting national security is important. However, if the equal
opportunity and civil liberties of 13 million Asian Ams. are being
trampled upon in the process, we are throwing out the baby together
with the bath water. That must stop. 80-20 EF will fight it.
80-20 will write the Director of FBI, Justice Department and media
such as USA Today and CNN. They include questions:
In peace time, is there a more sensible way to guard against the
stealing of our technical crown jewels?
Does America spy on other nations, militarily and economically?
What if China pulls these mirroring acts against Americans and American
Chinese in China? Would our government consider such acts as the
demonizing of the U.S.?
Which nation spies on America's military hardware more? Israel, Russia
or China? For the same amount of Chinese spying, if China is not a
powerful nation, and/or if Asian Americans were politically as strong as
Jewish Americans, would the same subject matter be handled more
sensitively?
Fellow Asian Americans. Do we want equal opportunity and justice? Do
we want to live free of fear and suspicion? Act to support 80-20 yourself
and getting others to support. Share your view at

Political Secrets III: Horse-Trading With Presidential Candidates
Using votes to horse-trade with presidential candidates is legal so
long as it is NOT for personal gains. That was how American Forefathers
have intended for our elections to achieve - give the "little people" the
power of the ballot box to induce politicians to do the right things for
them.
What do AsAms have to swing trade?
That is why 80-20 PAC organizes a bloc vote - our community's asset
for a political trade.
How does 80-20 make a trade?
80-20 sends questionnaires to presidential candidates. If they reply
in WRITING with Iron-clad promises to improve the lot for Asian Ams, then
80-20 will help them back in th elction.
What a great trade 80-20 is making for you:
See below how relevant and powerful 80-20's questions are to YOUR
welfare. For the entire questionnaire of 6 questions and its cover
letter, visit http://www.80-20initiative.net/preselect2008.html to see
their signed answers.
Question 3: Two years after you have issued a directive to the Labor
Secretary to enforcement Exec. Order 11246 for Asian Ams, will you meet with
a group of Asian Pacific American leaders, put together jointly by 80-20 and
the Labor Department, to review the progress in extending equal opportunity
to Asian Pacific Americans? Please answer Yes or No.
Question 4: If elected, will you within your first term of office increase
the nomination of qualified Asian Americans to serve as Article III life-
tenured federal judges, such that the number of such Asian American
judges is proportionate to HALF the number of Asian Americans in the
United States (2%)? [This'll roughly triple the number of AsAm Federal
judges.] Please answer yes or NO.
Presidential candidates Joe Biden and Chris Dodd, both chairmen
of powerful senate committees, have each replied with the iron-clad
promise of 6 yeses! For their signed answers, visit
http://www.80-20initiative.net/preselect2008.html.
Do NOT help any other presidential candidate until they've also given
80-20 their iron-clad promises. With YOUR HELP, 80-20 is confident to
get iron-clad answers from most major presidential candidates. We'll
help those who share our concerns win, and make sure that others lose.
The end result? Our next president will be a one of the candidates who has
given 80-20 the iron-clad promise to treat AsAms as equal citizens.
If you know of friends helping OTHER presidential candidates, ask
them if they have gotten similar iron-clad WRITTEN promises from those
OTHER candidates. If not, ask them "Why not?" Ask them not to
sabotage our shared dream to win equal opportunity and justice through
the 2008 election! History will judge!
Forward this SECRET to your friends! 80-20 empowers YOU. Do you
know of other organizations that empower you as much? Thanks.
