2013 Year-End Accounting of SELF Completed
Money in the SELF account is NOT to be spent, unless we reach $ 1million/yr
for 5 years. If 80-20 doesn't achieve this minimum goal, your donations will be
RETURNED TO YOU IN FULL. So we did a careful accounting.
Every Penny accounted for up till 12/31/2013! :-)
We thank Lynn Chen-Zhang, CPA, and Kathleen To, former 80-20 PAC President, for handling the checks, the Paypal payments and doing the
accounting.

CA Chinese-Am Senators Voted for "race-conscious" College Admissions
3
California Senators just voted to go against the will of the CA voters. They
voted to bring back "race-conscious" admission policy in colleges.
Understandably,
it was pushed by the Hispanic community, because they want more of their
children to
get into first tier CA colleges. What is NOT
understandable is that all three
Ch-Am state senators voted for the bill, which will work AGAINST Asian Am.
applicants.
Asian Am politicians have always raised money from us. We'd like them to
protect our rightful interests. Each of them could easily have voted
"NO!" by
stating that they don't want to oppose the expressed will of CA voters, because
Proposition 209, which prohibits "race-conscious" practices in CA,
passed
overwhelmingly a few years back. Shall 80-20 take action? Love to have
your comment. To comment, please click

Donation to SELF slowed down!
$250,000/yr for 5 years should be reached a long time ago. Instead, we are
at $225,000/yr. If 80-20 fails to reach its minimum goal to raise $1 million
per year for 5 years in another 21 months, 80-20'll admit its failure to serve
you well. 80-20 Initiative will probably demise shortly thereafter.
Since 80-20 came on the scene 14 yrs ago, no
organization, whether Asian or
non-Asian, has fought as hard & gotten as much results for YOU. To
