发帖数: 263 | 1 美国华人最近几年日益注意到华人维权的重要性。 鸡毛(Jimmy Kimmel) “杀光中国人
”和加州的SCA5试图搞种族名额教育制都引起华人的很大关注。 问题是这种热情还没
有常态化。还没有做到持之以恒的从自己做起，有人出人，有钱出钱。 导致现有的华
人维权组织都难以维持。 80-20 Initiative 的S.B. Woo 已经做志愿者为北美华人维
权十几年。 他现在年高要退休，却找不到愿意接替的人。想筹点款来雇个职业
lobbyist也进展缓慢。 看看下面S.B. Woo的passionate email, 你就知道我们面临的
窘困局面。
80-20 Is Dying
Most Asian Am wish to have Jewish community's political clout.
Most Asian Americans overlook that
(1) AIPAC has a $67 million per year budget as opposed to 80-20's $
100,000 - a difference of 67,000%!
(2) wealthy Jewish-Am merchants, sensing their responsibility,
raised a 140 million endowment for AIPAC as opposed to 80-20's desperate
effort to raise $1 million/yr for 5 years.
Even for the puny $1 m/yr for 5 yrs sum, 80-20 needs to get $1
,400 per year committed for 5 year EACH DAY. However, in the last 3 months,
80-20 didn't even raise that much per week.
If SELF succeeds, how will 80-20 spend that money? see
Footnote.
(3) a huge number of Jewish Americans TITHE for a Jewish cause.
Do you?
IT IS TIME to share the unpleasant but honest truth - 80-20 is dying*.
Asian Americans, you need to give till it hurts, if you don't want to
be
stepped on politically as in the past.
Look, the currently leaders of 80-20 don't get to spend the money
raised in SELF. Most of the top leadership will be retiring within the next
years. S.B. Woo will retire by the end of 2016. Somedays, he wished that
he had retired yesterday. :-)
DONATE HERE!
When our community does its part, 80-20's leaders will try do their
part! That is
a pledge.
SB Woo
President, 80-20 Educational Foundation
A Volunteer
Footnote: 80-20 will spend about $0.5 million per year, if SELF reaches its
goal.
(1) $100,000 for forging unity - to be in control of the Board of Donors
(2) $ 300,000 for 3 staff: one Executive Director at about $150k level, one
Assoc.
Exe. Dir. at about $100k and one secretary at about $50k per year.
(3) $100,000 for office expenses, including cyberspace expenses.
* Could there be a better replacement for 80-20 in the future? You judge.
Judge carefully! You are betting on your offspring's destiny.
S. B. Woo wants to thank and apologize to all those, who supported 80-20
and
him greatly, for sending the above blunt message. It's crunch time now. :-
( If
he doesn't send the truth to you, he probably commits a bigger mistake. | T*******a

发帖数: 263 | 5 吴老不可能做到每件事让每个人都满意。问题是也没见有人出来另组团体，大家都去踊
跃支持啊！
可见不是支持谁的问题，而且华人习惯上对公益事业不热心，都希望别人来做，自己评
头论足。而不是从自己做起，有钱出钱，有人出人。什么时候大家都能从自己做起，有
一分力量就尽一分力量，求同存异，团结一致，在美华人的利益才有希望。
