80-20 Initiative Enorses Obama

A prominent group of Asian Americans has endorsed Barack Obama for President.

Why Obama/Biden?

   80-20 has endorsed Obama/Biden basically for only one reason — their commitments to help us rise from second class citizens to equal citizens, while McCain refused.

   All other reasons, while sincere, are just arguing from different angles to enlarge the Asian Am. bloc vote for Obama/Biden. Those arguments don’t really bear on 80-20’s central decision — reward Obama for sharing our concerns and punish McCain who didn’t.

   “To Punish” may seem a harch concept to those who don’t know how the real world of politics operates, and for those who have not surmised from history why Asian Ams have been so badly ignored until 80-20 came into existence.

   Just watch.   Soon, even the Republican Party will share the rightful concerns of Asian Ams., because it will soon have had enough of YOUR punishment.

   Watch the election returns in the battleground states, where 80-20 has focused its great effort. Obama will not have won some of them without OUR strong bloc vote in those states. Wouldn’t McCain regret then? Will not the Republican Party re-evaluate? That is how the politics of carrots & sticks works!

   Assert yourself ! America expects us to fight for our interests !

   Have you seen how eager both major parties are to share the Jewish American concerns, even when their concerns are not their civil rights but Israel? Think about it. Try to explain why so.

Respectfully yours,

Kathleeen To, President, 80-20 PAC, Inc., and
S. B. Woo, Founding President, 80-20 PAC, Inc.

       80-20 is a national, nonpartisan, Political Action Committee dedicated to winning equal opportunity and justice for all Asian Americans through a SWING bloc vote, ideally directing 80% of our community’s votes and money to the presidential candidate endorsed by the 80-20, who better represents the interests of all APAs. Hence, the name “80-20” was created.
