80-20 has NOT been completely transparent
about the battles we fought in order to achieve self-empowerment
f
or our community. Now, however, that Pres. Obama has successfully completed his
2 terms, and Sec. Clinton is not likely to be our next president, 80-20 can tell
these war stories without unduly
offending these two former political leaders.
WAR STORY 1
The 1st "War Story" tells how 80-20 struggled against and then worked with Obama, including how Pres. Obama fulfilled his promises to us and how we gratefully thanked him. It is a near perfect example of
self-empowerment
through fighting for ourselves.
Background Info: The time was 2008, 8 of the 9 Democratic presidential
candidates had already answered 80-20's questionnaire with 6 yeses to its
6 questions. But
candidate Obama had not. Since he was the expected winner of the Dem.
primary, 80-20 was forced to begin a fierce struggle
against him.

Empowerment Coming As a Result of the Battles:
The following email reported that Obama had replied with 6 yeses.
Click

to see Obama's
signed
reply addressed
to S. B. Woo, President,
80-20 Educational Foundation. The first 3 questions were about removing the glassceilings, which he only partly honored. The last 3 questions were about increasing the number of AsAm federal judges, which he completely fulfilled.
See the graph fellow:
T0 SUMMARIZE:
The total number of AsAm federal judges with life-tenure
TRIPLED.
The
number of AsAm federal Appeals Court judges increased from
0 to 4.
Two
of 4 were mentioned as
potential future Supreme Court Justices by the
nation's largest newspapers.
Saying THANKS to Obama with our Bloc Votes:
80-20 PAC spent about $60,000 to lead the AsAm community to say "THANKS"
with our bloc votes.
In 2008, the bloc vote was
+37
points in favor of Obama.
In 2012, seeing that Obama had honored about 75% of his promises to our community, the bloc vote was enlarged to
+47
pts!
Next week, we'll publish "War Story 2".
