Rise and Act!
Mail 2 letters to Win in the 'Court of Public Opinion' for Our Children
Background Information:
There are about 5000 media outlets in the U.S. Three big ones have already sided with
our point of view, since our "UGLY facts on ..." came out on Aug.
1st
, as we
fight for a level-playing field for
our children. They are:
(1) T
he Wall Street Journal
editorial
("What is Harvard Hiding" - Aug.
6
),
(2) The Fox News opinion. ("Time for affirmative action to be based on income, not race" - Aug. 7
), and
(3) The Washington Post opinion ("Harvard's discrimination against Asian
Americans must end" - Aug 8)
However, we need a thousand more such editorials and opinions from the big cites along the coasts to the small towns in middle America!
Who will perform this immense task?
You and 80-20 will do it TOGETHER! 80-20 NEVER asks AsAms to do
anything, without doing much more itself. Hence, the Board of 80-20
Educational Foundation, EF, has appropriated a war chest
of $250,000 for this campaign. It could be used to buy full-page ads in the NY Times, the
Washington Post, the LA Times and the Chicago Tribune to appeal to the conscience
of our nation about the plight of our children. The full-page
ads will show
(a) The UGLY facts of discrimination against AsAm youth, and
(b) the names and locations of about 1,000 US media outlets that we
expect will have
already
sided with
us, asking Harvard and its likes to
change their
discriminatory
admissions policy.
You can keep a copy of this ad to point to with pride at the names of the local media that you've worked on and convinced, as you tell your grandchildren the story of your share
in this struggle.
Your contribution will go down in history.
What will YOU Need to Do?
NOT THAT MUCH!
You do
need the determination &
guts to stand up for our children. Step (1) may be a little challenging.
(1) Click
here
and
print 2 copies each of
"
UGLY
facts
on discrimination
against
AsAm youth"
of 4 pages. Use the
best
print quality.
(2) Use the internet to find out the the postal address of 1 state-wide and 1
local or ethnic
newspaper in your locality
. Remember that there will
be
others
in your state making similar efforts.
(3) Send a copy of our "UGLY facts ..." to those 2 addresses, together with
a cover letter whose template is shown in the footnote below.
Sign it
with
2 to 10 names, complete with signers'
respective postal addresses
and
phone numbers. Post it.
(4) Send sbw@udel.edu an email, letting me know that you've "DONE
YOUR NOBLE
SHARE and the names of the two media." 80-20 will
recognize you publicly.
Result?
Within one year, we will have won in
the Court of Public Opinion, for our children, especially after the full-page ads will have come out, at a cost of $250,000. Harvard will feel our pressure.
