Two Great Tidings!
(1) From Wall Street Journal, we see this headline
(2) From Washington Post, we see another exciting headline:
80-20 Had a BIG Hand In Both Good Tidings
(1) For Good Tiding 1 on community patrol, see 80-20's contribution via its e-newsletter of 7 days ago.
80-20 shall finance up to $200,000 to help seed COMMUNITY WATCH patrol teams in our ethnic communities i.e. Korean-, Indian-, Vietnamese-, Filipino-, Japan-, & Chinatowns. To APPLY for 80-20's grant, click here. Then go to Section [B], 3rd paragraph.
(2) For Good Tiding 2 regarding AAPI liaison at the White House, 80-20 might well be the first AsAm organization to propose the idea. On Dec. 1, 2019, 80-20 sent then candidate Biden a questionnaire. Its Q4 asked Biden to set up a liaison office, if elected:
"(4) If elected, will you create a special office in the White House,
whose director will have the equivalent rank of an Assistant
Secretary, while having the direct access to the Director of the
FBI, to receive complaints from Asian Americans regarding
being racially profiled?"
We are grateful that Senators Duckworth of IL and Hinoro of HI got that job done for the AsAm community.
But we need a good person in that office for it to be effective. We've had many AsAms in high political offices who not only didn't know the plight of our community but also refused to serve our rightful interests because they wanted to be identified as whites. Therefore, don't relax yet!
Elect Those Politicians Who Share Our Concerns
Duckworth has launched her re-election bid for 2022. For donation to her click here. 80-20 Empowerment PAC shall donate $8,020. Please help thank her by donating $80.20. That way Sen. Duckworth will know that the donations come from 80-20 supporters who reward her for good service but not because she is an AsAm. If you want to donate more than $80.20, simply donate $80.20 several times, up till a maximum of $5,600. Let me know, after you've donated. Thank you. :-)

Is Senator Marsha Blackburn of TN a Hate Monger?
When Americans nationally condemn hate crimes against Asians, Blackburn still has on her tweet-post: "China has a 5,000 year history of cheating and stealing. Some things will never change…” Incredibly, directly below the above hateful tweet, she also showed her hate against her own senate leader Sen. McConnell*, who has a Chinese Am. wife, Elaine Chao. Click here to witness her hate against AsAms, the McConnells* and the Democrats. Peace & prosperity of our nation require thoughtful hard work. Will Sen. Blackburn's unique hateful personality serve TN & America well?
- Since yesterday, this "hate the McConnells" tweet has been shifted behind hundreds of other related tweets. If you search for it, it's still there.
