Together, We Shall Overcome
Dear leaders of the Asian American community:
The petition benefits our community greatly
If the following 80-20 petition at http://wh.gov/in72s succeeds, our community will
have everything to gain, but nothing to lose.
It'll stop profiling by race and national origin against Asian -Ams,
since it
seems certain that this is the only way that Pres. Obama can answer our
petition. It'll help us to be equal citizens of the USA. In addition, It'll
help establish our political clout by demonstrating the unity of the Asian-
/Chinese-American community, because no petition to President Obama have
ever succeeded.
Two other Chinese-Am petition "succeeded," although they were not proper
petitions since they asked Pres. Obama to do thing that were NOT within his
power. Here is the petition:
Dear President Obama:
We, the undersigned, agree with your decision to
aggressively investigate and prosecute the stealing of
government and corporate secrets. However, judging from the
terrible injustice and harm done to Sherry Chen and Professor
Xiaoxing Xi, your policy has been abused. Aggressiveness has
seemingly been interpreted as permission to be careless; worse
perhaps, as permission to use race and national origin for
profiling - practices which we rejected even at the height of
the
anti-terrorists investigations soon after 9/11.
We respectfully request that you instruct the Department of
Justice that due diligence and due process must be followed,
and that racial and national origin profiling is not permitted.
We also feel strongly that there ought to be apologies to
and
compensations for the victims to make them whole.
Respectfully,
The undersigned"
Sharing leadership and credit
The credit for the success of the petition will be shared by all
participating organizations, to be listed alphabetically. Our name shall be
Eighty-twenty (80-20) Initiative, instead of 80-20 Initiative. With "e" as
the first alphabet of our name, it'll show up somewhere in the middle of a
list of many organizations.
"There is no fear except fear itself" - Franklin D.
Roosevelt
Some claim that the lack of a response from our community is because
our folks
are afraid to criticize a government policy. They pointed to the fact the
two earlier "successful" petitions were directed at non-federal-government
entities, while this time we are criticizing the Department of Justice. If
so, we truly don't understand the USA where the freedom of speech is
absolute. In addition, we are truly cowards for not willing to stand up
for our rights. Look at 80-20's Board Members and me, we have "taken the
point" on so many different issues. Has any bad consequence fallen on us?
STAND UP and give our children a brighter future.
Respectfully yours,
S. B. Woo
President and a volunteer for the past 17 years
