Steadily INCREASING Pressure On Blackburn

   (1) On Dec. 3, 2020, when Sen. Marsha Blackburn of TN tweeted:  "China has a 5000 year history of cheating and stealing. Some things will never change...".

   (2) Without creating any pubblicity, S. B Woo emailed and faxed Sen. Blackburn asking her to withdraw her tweet and apologize to our community.

   (3) Getting no response, 80-20 went public with her outrageous tweet, and organized 550 to 1000 phone calls/faxes/emails to pour into her office asking for an apology, tying up her D.C. phone and fax lines for days. 

  (4) Still getting no response, 80-20 worked with TNCAA (Tennessee Chinese Am. Alliance) and UCA (United Chinese Americans) to buy a full-page ad in newspapers of the 4 largest TN cities exposing Blackburn’s ignorance and hatefulness and asked her to apologize.  2,000 of her voters, breaking 70/30 in non-AsAms/AsAms, signed to support the ads to oppose Blackburn's
tweet.

   (5) A few days ago, 80-20 President S. B. Woo emailed/faxed Sen. Blackburn for the 2nd time, asking her to apologize. His message included the following:

         "... In order to further persuade you to apologize, we are considering 
           seeking the support of 2 prominent Republicans & 2 Democrats for 
           the ad. shown here. They are: Former Sen. Bob Corker (R) who just
           retired, Manny Sethi who was a GOP Senate primary contestant 
           in 2009, former Governor Philip Norman Bredesen Jr. (D) whom you 
           defeated in your last election and Former Congressman (1997-2007) 
           Harold Eugene Ford Jr. (D). ….."

          "PS:  Did you read a 12/21/2020 guest column published in the 
           Tennessean, entitled Marsha Blackburn's 'cheating and stealing' 
           attack on China is historically inaccurate. It explained point-by-point 
            why your tweet of Dec. 3 is wrong."

Our Message To Sen. Blackburn?

       The 4 former Republican and Democratic officials named above plus Dolly Parton and others could be Blackburn's primary and general election opponents in her re-election bid.
Dolly Parton is an American singer known for her work in country music. She is also an author, businesswoman, and humanitarian. Dolly Parton is a unifying force in a divided United States. That’s the central theme of the podcast series “Dolly Parton’s America”, released late last year. In some circles, she is hotly discussed as an ideal Senate candidate for TN to replace Blackburn. Parton is smart (IQ of 145while Blackburn is ignorant. Parton's "unify America theme" is the diametric opposite of Blackburn's die-hard support of Trump. Please FORWARD this email to all your TN friends. Spread this message!

Has Blackburn Answered Woo's 2nd Fax to Her Yet?

       No. Sen. Blackburn's D.C. and TN offices were all closed in the last 5 days. We'll wait for a few more days but not too much longer, before we take serious actions.
