The $4 million war chest

Regarding the 2016 Presidential Election
A few days
ago, MSNBC requested 80-20's recommendation of AsAms as possible audience members for the presidential debates of both parties and afterwards join "focus group" discussions
regarding the performance of the candidates. All expenses including travel will be paid by MSNBC.
Nine persons volunteered. All were
recommended. In addition, 80-20 recommended 10 great supporters.
To the 19 recommended: If you were selected, please share the political
knowledge you will have gained from your participation.
Please pay forward and pay backward. Together, we shall overcome.
On College Admissions
The following response to a NY Times
article seems most apropos. It was submitted by Dr.
Hong-Yee Chiu, a friend. Enjoy reading it and pass it on.
"The studies described in " Racial Wealth Gap Persists Despite
Degree, Study Finds" (Aug.17, 2015) contained a hidden bias.
College admission policies have reduced the standards for admissions for
minorities (i.e. blacks and Hispanics). The studies assumed that all
college graduates are equal. They are not. After graduation,
those who were admitted with the higher academic standards tend to
outperform those who were admitted with the lesser standards. The performance in
jobs determines the wealth level. I believe, if the studies also include
this factor, the researchers will find that minorities (admitted
under the same high standards) will perform just as well as the
whites and Asians. It is the same as athlete selection. If the selection
of athletes uses the same philosophy as college admissions, then the
results are obvious - those who were given special favors in the selection process
will have inferior performance. It is
not the race factor. It is the college admission policies that cause the
difference." (Emphasis added by S. B. Woo)
A $4.1 million War Chest could Vanish,
if YOU don't
do your share. If SELF doesn't reach the $1 million/yr for 5 yrs
goal i.e. $5 million raised in total over 5 yrs in another 59 days, all donations will be refunded in full upon request. The deadline
is Oct 25. The clock is ticking.
