Nationally, the elite
colleges had used such admissions policies to discriminate against AsAm students. For example, AsAm applicants were forced to yield 140 SAT points
to white applicants in order to gain equal access, all other qualifications being equal. Can you
imagine asking minority students to give advantages to the majority students and calling it an affirmative action? It is blatant and despicable discrimination against AsAm
children.
There were many AsAm members in the CA Senate and Assembly.
All were Democrats. Initially, they all supported SCA-5, seemingly assuring the passage of SCA-5. See how elected AsAm officials may actually work against our core interests?
1. 80-20 sprang to action. We mostly worked on the
AsAm
politicians. Other
organizations
mostly worked on organizing demonstrations
.
2. CA state
Sen. Ted Lieu
was the first to agree with 80-20, causing the
Dems to lose their 2/3 vote in the senate. Soon, many AsAm Assembly-
persons declared
their
oppositions to SCA-5.
The Dems lost its "assured"
2/3 vote for SCA-5 in both the Senate & the
Assembly. On
3/17/2015, SCA-5 was declared DEAD.
Empowerment 1:
Our community successfully defended our core
interests!
Empowerment
2
: We made sure that elected AsAm officials will
henceforth share our rightful concerns. The following is why:
1.
While the battles were
raging
, Sen.
Leland Yee
&
Assemblyman Paul
Fong,
who was the Chair of the AsAm Assembly Caucus, were
particularly
obstinate.
2.
To prevent the recurrence of such
outrageous betrayal in
the
future,
80-20
declared on 3/21/2014 to drive
them out of
politics
. Click here to
verify. See 3. Q (2). In less than a
year,
both were driven out of
politics.
3. AsAm elected officials
had witnessed what had
happened to Sen. Leland
Yee and Assemblyman Paul Fong when they ignored our core interests.
This is
an extremely important empowerment
,
that people outside of
politics
may NOT understand until it is clearly stated and explained
.
The
Jewish-Am
leadership
of AIPAC is
particularly
effective in punishing politicians who work against their core
interests.
They were known to have driven out 2 US
senators and a few
Congresspersons. So most U.S. politicians choose to be cooperate on issues that AIPAC cares deeply about. That is why the Jewish-Ams, through AIPAC, pack so much
political clout.
