80-20 carried out a tough policy to stop two racist attacks against APA candidates by their political opponents in this year's primary election. S. B. Woo, 80-20 president announced: "There is only one way to stop such attacks: when politicians and their consultants find out that a racist attack on any APA candidate anywhere in the nation means an invitation for 80-20 to come in and defeat them in either this or the next election. 80-20's policy has proven to be 100% effective in the general election in 3 fronts: First, The one and only candidate, Ralph Appezzato, who was explicitly named by 80-20 for alleged racist attacks on Alice Lai-Bitke in the primary election for an Alameda County Council seat, committed suicide recently. He and Alice were to have a run-off in the general election. Since he was deceased, Alice Lai-Bitke won easily by 71% to 29%. Secondly and more importantly, no racist attacks on APA candidates were reported to 80-20 anywhere in the nation during the general election, except for one case. Thirdly, even in that singular case where a Republican candidate, Karen Balderston, mounted a racist attack against her Democratic opponent, Swati Dandekar who is an Indian Amican in an Iowa House of Representative race, Balderston was immediately jettisoned by her own party. The Iowa GOP rejected Balderston by: (a) unlisting her from the Iowa GOP web site, and (b) yanking financial support and direct mailings assistance for her. In addition, the chair of the Iowa Republican party, Chuck Larson, said: "The recent statement by Karen Balderston is not acceptable and does not reflect the philosophy of the Republican Party or its leadership." On election day, Dandekar won. Since the 2000 election, the Republican Party has served APA interests well in two particular aspects. First, President Bush has appointed more APAs to significant federal level positions than President Clinton. Secondly, GOP's immediate rejection of its own candidate owing to her racist attack on an APA candidate was exemplary. The Democratic Party may have some things to learn from the Republican Party in these aspects. Said S.B. Woo, to induce both political parties to compete in serving the rightful interests of the APA community was the reason for 80-20's advocacy of a SWING BLOC VOTE. UNITY IS POWER.
