Did you feel politically impotent when a crisis fell upon the Asian
Am. community? Examples are (I) the Los Angeles riot of 1992, (II)
the "Asiagate" -- campaign finance scandals of 1996 and
(III) the Vincent Chin
murder in Detroit of 1982. With 80-20, you now have the needed political
POWER. We'll explain how in each case, starting with (I).
(I) The Los Angeles Riot
Courageous Korean Am. were on the roofs with rifles defending
the lives and properties of their families. The available police
force was protecting other areas of LA, but not Koreatown. The
National Guard was ready to help. But politicians ware hesitant
about ordering the troops in for Koreatown. 3 terrifying days
passed for Korean Ams., before the troops were finally ordered
in. Outrageous!
If, God forbid, a similar situation occurs, 80-20 will work
with Korean Am. leaders in LA to jointly place a phone call to
the relevant politician. We'll respectfully request that the troops
be ordered in IMMEDIATELY. But the underlying message is this:
"Order in the troops IMMEDIATELY, or you'll face an Asian
Am bloc vote organized by 80-20 to DEFEAT YOU in the next election.
80-20 has an email list of 710,000 Asian Am. families, 80% of
whom are registered voters and 40% of whom reside in California.
80-20 has led two successful bloc votes in the presidential elections
of 2000 & 2004. For evidence go to our website. In addition
to using the emails AGAINST YOU, 80-20 will buy ads in Asian Am.
media (radio, TV and newspaper) in Los Angeles or California,
to DEFEAT YOU in the next election."
Result? There is a 99% chance that the troops will be ordered
in IMMEDIATELY. Most politicians respond much more readily to
the fear of having some one gunning for them in the next election
than anything else.
What if the 1% chance wins out??? In some ways, 80-20 loves
the challenge of being denied that rightful request. With 8% AsAm
voters in CA & as estimated 10% AsAm voters in LA, 80-20 is
CONFIDENT to DEFEAT THAT OFFICIAL IN THE NEXT ELECTION, whether
in LA or in CA.
FROM THAT "DEFEAT" ONWARD, the not-so-benign neglect
of the rightful interests of Asian Ams will be over. Your sense
of political impotency will vanish! Asian Ams become EQUAL CITIZENS
of America! That
is how politics really works, although we should always try win-win
solutions first.
Join 80-20. That is how you & 80-20 mutually empower each
other.
