Asian American voters urged to vote for Clinton and to defeat Obama (California)
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 07:40 PM by goldcanyonaz
A Historic Fight Begins In California
80-20 Educational Foundation didn’t get a reply with all yeses from Sen. Obama. The deadline stated in S. B. Woo’s earnest “open letter” to him has passed. The Board of 80-20 PAC voted unanimously to endorse Sen. Clinton for the Calif. Democratic primary on Feb. 5. $30,000 has been appropriated to buy ads in Asian ethnic media in CA to spread the news of our endorsement. More is available, if needed.A Historic Fight Begins

This newsletter answers 3 key questions: What are we fighting for? Why is the fight historic? Why choose to fight in the CA Democratic primary?

<snip>

What are we fighting for?
We are fighting so that the hard-fought commitment finally made to us by Sen. Clinton will be preserved after the Dem. primary is over. If Sen. Obama wins, then the iron-clad “Clinton commitment” will become null and void, because the primary is an elimination process.
Hence, we are truly fighting for ourselves –to finally enjoy equal justice and equal opportunity in workplaces — rights already enjoyed by ALL Americans except for Asian Americans.

4. Yes, most Asian-Americans support Obama; this is just a fringe group
There was a straw poll of Asian-Americans in California and Obama won convincingly.

6. My Aunt can't stand him either, and will not vote for him.

She thinks he is evil, so therefore she won't vote for him.

7. Asians think for themselves,,and they can't be put onto a box.
Thank God.

Courting groups for votes astonishes me.

We all want pretty much the same thing.
