今天老公突然灵光一闪，设计了两幅海报。第一张是借鉴了一位网友的设计，特此谢谢
他。这一张就是如果这个议员不给我们投反对票，我们到时候就把他的名字写到括号里
，明确我们不支持他，让他以后失去政治前途。我们直接把Racism写上去，许多老美一
看马丁路德金和Racism，应该就愿意来支持我们。老公还耐心地辅导了六岁的儿子画了
几只彩色的猴子。儿童画因为毕竟可爱希望能抓到眼球，让别人愿意过来了解，到底是
怎么回事儿呀。
儿子听说要画猴子，十分不解问:“爸爸,这是干什么呀？”
我答道:“爸爸在为你而战呀！”
儿子问：“啊，要流血吗？”
我再解释说：“这是一场不流血的战争。这样你们以后才不会被别人因为你是亚裔才欺
负你呀。”
不知道儿子懂不懂，但是我知道“前人栽树，后人乘凉”。要不是马丁。路德金几十年
前的奋斗，黑人和白人现在可能还只能在不同的水龙头喝水，美国更不会有第一位黑人
总统。
晚上老公又连夜写好了给所有加州亚裔参议员的信。
亲爱的家人，我真为你们而自豪！

Subject: Issues affecting your re-election campaign in November
Dear AsAm Legislators in the California Assembly,
Please vote NO to SCA5 in the Assembly. Print out the two campaign posters
and you will see why.
The senate passing of SCA5 with the support of all three AsAm senators had
sent shock waves through the AsAm community across the nation, turning
ordinary citizens into an army of political activists. Even my 6 year old
son asked “Why should I be sorted like moneys in the zoo?” What messages
are we sending to our children that they should be treated differently based
on their skin colors, instead of their personal efforts and qualifications?
Do NOT underestimate the resolve of ordinary people. The day of reckoning
will come this November. As a California resident, I will join in hand with
millions across the nation, and with the AsAm voters in your districts, to
make sure the AsAm politicians are accountable to their constituents. The
days, when AsAm politicians can take the money and the votes from their
community, and then do whatever that suit their personal ambitions, are over
. We will see to it that such politicians be defeated in the next election
cycle. Please print out the attached campaign posters, and ponder whether
your name, or your opponent’s name, should appear in the bracket. Posters
like these will become a ubiquitous presence in your districts leading to
the next election. If the Democratic Party leadership bents on pushing
forward SCA5, they will lose their Super Majority in the California
legislature. The recent mayoral election in the City of San Diego will
serve as a warning: a Republican candidate prevailed in an overwhelmingly
Democrat city.
SCA5 is a “Yellow Peril Act”, a 21st century version of the “Chinese
Exclusion Act of 1882”, aimed specifically to impose a quota-like ceiling
on the AsAm students. Quoting the news media, “Of particular issue with
lawmakers is the dominance of Asian students in UC and CSU schools.
Currently, UC freshmen are 36 percent Asian, 28.1 percent white, 27.6
percent Latino and 4.2 percent African American. Yet California’s
population is 13.9 Asian, 39.4 percent “White alone, not Hispanic or Latino
,” 38.2 percent Latino, and 6.6 percent African American, according to the
U.S. Census. Hernandez and legislators representing minorities want the
state’s college admissions to reflect the population more closely.”
Please note that (1) AsAm are not considered a “minority” to the likes of
Hernandez. (2) Latino, which has a nearly-identical population to the white
, is a “minority”. (3) Latino, which has a nearly-identical college
enrollment to the white, is “underrepresented”. (4) AsAm enrollment is of
great concern and is a problem to be solved by SCA5. Therefore, there can
be no illusion, no matter how SCA5 is sugar-coated, that it is a bill aimed
squarely to limit the AsAm enrollment through a reverse “racial preference
” treatment, under an argument that “the college enrollment should reflect
the population”. Unfortunately, such a “proportional representation”
argument has been consistently rejected by the US Supreme Court in all
precedent cases to be in violation of the “Equal Protection Clause” of the
14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Hernandez, with the
concurrence of three AsAm state senators, is attempting to draft a
California State Constitutional Amendment in violation of the US
Constitution.
SCA5 cannot hide under the disguise of “equal opportunity”. In fact it is
the antithesis of “equal opportunity” because it demands “equal outcomes
” despite of “unequal qualifications and efforts”. It is Communism in
essence because all resources are to be divided equally, depriving the
citizenry of any incentive to excel, dragging down the US competitiveness in
the long run. Why cannot the legislators ask the tough questions as to how
to improve the quality of elementary and secondary education in certain
communities, and to get down to the root of the problems to close the ever-
wider achievement gaps? Instead, the legislators engaged in a cheap game of
“robbing Peter to pay Paul”, for which they are assured of Paul’s
support. In fact, only a subset of the Pauls is the true beneficiary of any
“race conscious” policy. Social studies have concluded that 85+% of the
“under-represented” students admitted under “race conscious” policies
were from wealthy or middle-class families who just happen to have the right
skin colors, leaving their poorer brethren in the dust. If it were for “
social justice”, why cannot the “progressive” legislators introduce “
socioeconomic considerations” into college admissions without regard to
race and ethnicity? Such a policy would disproportionally benefit the black
and Hispanic community yet it is still fair, as the poor AsAm and white
kids can also be helped. Rewarding or penalize an individual based on his/
her skin color is morally repugnant, even more so 50+ years after the “I
have a dream” address.
Hernandez and his like-minded legislators, including the 3 AsAm senators,
are trying to turn the clock of the history backward. With your help, we
shall overcome.
Thank you for your attention.
XXXXX
