BACKGROUND 
   
This e-newsletter will illustrate the value of 80-20, made possible by your courage,support and sacrifice. 

Time was from Nov., 2007 to Jan., 2008.   80-20 fought two pitched battles with 2 leading Democratic presidential candidates, Sen. Hillary Clinton & Sen. B. Obama. 
  

Result?  3 AsAm cabinet members were appointed in 2009. AsAm federal judges tripled in the last 6 years.  The U.S. Labor Dept. stated in writing to 80-20 that EO 11246 appliedto AsAms as well -- something that Elaine Chao heartlessly refused to do when she was the Labor Secretary.
                  
Take a look at the titles of the e-newsletters, shown below, that 80-20 sent during that period. Where did we get such COURAGE?  FROM YOU!  

80-20 sent a questionnaire to presidential candidates, because each election was an opportunity to get the next president's promise to help our climb to equal citizen-ship.  Easy to get them to reply?  NO!  It'd take great courage, skill & sacrifice. 

The First Battle

By Nov., 2007, candidates like Sens. Biden, Dodd and Gravel had answered 80-20's questionnaire  with 6 yeses.  Unfortunately, the apparent "leading" candidate Sen. H. Clinton didn't.  After behind the scene pleading with Clinton had failed, 80-20went public with a "call to action" asking the AsAm public to tell Clinton how we felt. That didn't work either.  A battle unfolded.  Happily, Sen. Clinton saw our plight.  She graciously replied with 6 yeses.

   
  • 11/27/2007   Call To Action - Write to Sen. Clinton's Campaign
  • 12/01   Clinton's Statement Versus 80-20's 6 Questions
  • 12/03   Faxes from Asian Ams to Sen. Clinton
  • 12/05    Spreading Outrage Against Sen. Clinton (80-20 asked "Does Sen. Clinton have the courage to stand up for America's core value -- equal opportunity?)
  • 12/10/2007  Sen. Clinton Replied to 80-20's Questionnaire with All Yeses

 
The Second Battle

Sen. Edwards & Gov. Richardson followed with 6 yeses, but NOT Sen. Obama.  Behind the scene pleading occurred.  That didn't  work.  80-20 again went public and issued a "call to action' asking the AsAm public to fax Obama.

That didn't work either.  The 2nd battle unfolded.  80-20 called to defeat Obama twice!  We endorsed Sen. Clinton in CA's primary, and bought newspaper and radio ads in CA asking AsAm to vote for Hillary.  Our message got through.  Sen. Obama also graciously answered with 6 yeses.  In return, 80-20 deleted the contents of all e-newsletters with a * to the left, because those were words of anger said in a fierce fight.
