发帖数: 34 | 1 CONGRATULATIONS! You and I won BIG by defeating Paul Fong by a larger than
20 point margin in Fong's bid for a council seat in San Jose..
Q: What exactly did we win?
A: We won the historic accountability of AsAm elected officials to us.
In the past, almost all AsAm officials raised their campaign funds primarily
from AsAms. However, once elected, some of the them have NOT been
responsive to our rightful interests. This sad situation must be corrected.
Otherwise, AsAms will never get to be equal citizens through the political
process.
Q: How do we get AsAm elected officials to be accountable to us?
A: We drive those bad AsAm officials, who are unfaithful to us, out of
politics. Such actions will please the responsive AsAm officials, while
warning the bad ones. Believe me, no elected AsAm official will want to be
another Paul Fong.
Q: Are you sure that the mere defeat of Paul Fong will be sufficient to
establish such an IMPORTANT and beneficial tradition for the AsAm community?
A: It is not just the defeat of Paul Fong. We have already driven a bigger
politicians, former Sen. Leland Yee, out of politics earlier.
Q: Really? Tell me more.
A: A number of CA elected officials in CA were not attentive to the
rightful interests of Asian Ams. in our struggle to stop SCA-5. Among those
, former Sen. Leland Yee and Assemblyman Paul Fong were the worst. Hence,
as soon as SCA-5 was stopped, 80-20 announced to drive these two unfaithful
AsAm officials out of politics to set example for others.
On 3/21/14 80-20 announced to punish Yee. On 3/26/14, Yee's illegal arms-
trading news broke. On 3/27/14, Yee withdrew from his CA Secretary of State
race, Later, he was stripped of his membership in the CA senate.
80-20 PAC announced to defeat two. We defeated both! That is a fact that
all AsAm elected officials will pay attention to.
Q: What made you think that 80-20 has caused Fong's defeat?
A: A good question. 80-20 doesn't claim to be solely responsible for
defeating Paul Fong. The major credit goes to Fong's opponent Chappie Jones
. Howeer, 80-20 is certainly an important force in defeating Fong. Here are
4 evidences:
(1) Chappie Jones stated, after learning of his victory, that ""We thought
it would be more of a nail-biter." Instead he won by more than 20 points.
(2) The Unions supported Paul Fong and Raul Peralez in the City Council
seats' races. Peralez won handily, while Fong lost badly.
(3) 80-20's last 3 e-newsleters urged CA AsAms to either talk against Fong
or vote against him. 80-20 also bought tens of thirty-second radio ads
against Fong, airing them for 9 days prior to the election date. 80-20 also
worked with SVCA to recruit volunteers to work for Chappie Jones.
(4) While 80-20 directed the "defeat Fong" campaign independently of
Chappie Jones, as was required by election laws, Chappie is likely aware of
80-20's effort. He emailed 80-20 President S.B. Woo, to thank him.
80-20 will likely die at the end of 2016, unless it succeeds in raising $1
million
per year for 5 years by Oct. 21, 2015 - a war chest to compensate for the
retirement
of S. B. Woo. To donate, click here.
