Nguoi-Viet newspaper ran an article about Joseph Cao asking for support on election campaign for Attorney General of Louisiana but several headlines in English are about Joseph Cao no longer working with BP’s oil spill compensation fund.

FYI,

I forwarded the message from 80-20.

Have a nice weekend.

YOU be the juror. You decide whether 80-20 shall GROW or DIE.

80-20′s 7th Best Accomplishment

If 80-20 didn’t exist, how might your life be different?

Remember when racist attacks against Asian Am. candidates were
common? Did you feel safe in an environment with attacks against
Asian Americans airing on TV, radio, or in newspapers all the time?
Remember the Daisy Ad? (See 80-20′s 10th Achievement from 3/24/11.)
Without 80-20, not only would there be a lot fewer successful Asian
Am. office holders, but all Asian Am.’s will suffer from facing racist
attacks in the media constantly.

Racist attacks are mounted in an election campaign, because they
are effective! Only when no one dares to amount such attacks, for
fear of reprisal by 80-20 PAC, will AsAm candidates have equal chance to
succeed. That is Group Political clout!

Why is 80-20 PAC so effective? Exaggeration?

While the candidates who mount such attacks are the apparent bad
guys, 80-20 has the unique political knowledge to know that such attacks
are normally designed by the political consultants.

The political consultants want a good win-loss record to further their
future business. Hence, the hypocritical ones often tempt candidates to
mount such an attack against an Asian Am. whose community is known
to be meek. The consultants ease their conscience by saying the
following to their candidate-clients, “We only advise you how to win.
You decide whether it is the right or wrong thing to do.” Often, the
candidates can’t resist the temptation; the vile deeds would be conceived
and delivered.

Normally, the vile candidate and consultant count on the fact that
once the election is over, all is forgotten. 80-20 knows that to stop such
attacks for good, it must hold both accountable and haunt them forever
for their vile deeds — till the candidate is defeated and till the consultant
will be driven out of the consultant business.

In terms of political effectiveness, there is a big difference between
a PAC like 80-20 and Asian Am. office holders e.g. senators, congress-
persons, and governors. The office holders don’t dare touch the tough issues
because they fear the repercussions in their next elections, although they
have much resources under their commend. Only a political action
committee dares to tackle the REALLY TOUGH ISSUES, because a PAC
doesn’t face a re-election in the mainstream society.

80-20′s top accomplishments are examples of tough issues that it dared
to tackle while Asian Am elected officials remained silent. That is
not t 464 he fault of AsAm elected officials. That is the nature of American
election politics — there are issues that only a PAC dares to tackle.

The Asian Am. community must have the wisdom and generosity to support
both office holders, who are important to us in the long term, and at least
one well-funded national PAC.

We await

YOUR verdict for 80-20 PAC to
either DOUBLE or DIE on March 21, 2013.

We can’t tell you that joining 80-20 is GOOD for your career. But it is
definitely not BAD for your career. Here is one proof.
Conrado “Bobby” Gempesaw, a Filipino-Am., was named Provost of
Miami University 3 days ago. “Bobby” is currently Dean of College of
Business at the University of Delaware. Visit

http://www.udel.edu/udaily/2011/nov/gempesaw-provost-miami111910.html

Gempesaw has been an 80-20 member for years and still is.
Visit http://www.80-20initiative.net/about/membership.asp to view
his name on the membership list *.
Gampesaw is not only a dues-paying member, but also publicly acknowledges
that he got his first administrative position as an Associate Provost
at the Univ. of Delaware partially through the effort of Asian Am.
faculty members talking to the Administration that its top echelon
could benefit from diversity.
America selects leaders who have convictions, are willing to take some
risks for their convictions, and are persons of integrity. Just having
knowledge, ability and skills are not good enough to be leaders. Those
attributes normally only earns a person a high-paying job. Actually, even
the “high pay” may not be realized, if the person is deemed as timid.
