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.

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.
