In view of Norman Hsu's fund raising problem, S.B. Woo, President of the 80-20 Educational Foundation, suggests 3 dos and 3 do-nots on fund-raising.
Three Dos:
1) Respect the rules of democracy,
2) Realize that in Asia, people like us live as a part of the majority.
Therefore, politics can be a hobby and is often used for personal gains.
In the US, we live as a small minority, with much prejudice against us.
Therefore, politics is a must because we need GROUP political clout to defend ourselves.
3) To achieve the above, we must give time and money to political orgs
such as the 80-20 PAC. That is how Jewish Ams and Cuban Ams won their equal opportunity
and justice.
To help get the above points across, here are three DO-NOTs:
1) Don't ever go against the laws governing politics/elections in America,
2) Don't be seduced by the sweet talks of politicians. Examine their record of service to us before
helping them,
3) Don't believe that politicians will do things for us unless we have the clout to reward or
punish their political careers.
