至帅哥美女,WSN,WSNV,土豪们:
We need to form a voter bloc. Before the primary election (for each party)
, we announce our endorsement for the best candidates in each party.
After the primary election, each major party will get a candidate for each
open seat, then we need to choose to endorse a candidate for each opening
seat.
Our job is to organize the turn-out of our voters and educate the voting
population about the issues that are core to our identity and our vision and
our values. We need to educate the candidates to respect our identity/
vision/values, judge the candidates on these issues (develop some metrics
to measure how close to our stand) and to vote them in or vote them out.
I created a form to ask for some voting related information and contacts:

We need to create a Chinese American voter issues survey. Choices are:
1. Publicized Apology for the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act + 20x Increase
in Immigration Quota for Chinese-Americans + Fast Track H1b Visa for
Chinese foreign students educated in America
2. Legislate Chinese-American week to celebrate Chinese-American
contribution to America
3. Chinese American candidates at every level
4. Renouncement of "Pivot to Asia" foreign policy with its anti-China
adversarial undertones. It does not say "China" but the target is clearly
China and we notice and are alarmed by its antagonist/militarist tendency
that will erode China-US trust and could embroil us into a potentially
dangerous conflict.
Imagine the Jewish people see Germany elect a neonazi Chancellor who
worships at Hitler's shrine and then see a "Pivot to Middle East" foreign
policy that calls for intensifying our cooperation with Germany, Iran, Saudi
Arabia and other Middle eastern countries. Would they stand by to idly
watch this happen? Or they will cry foul and vote against the candidate
that is associated with this extremely dangerous policy?
5. TPPP: the impact for China-US trade is not clear. The impact for US
domestic economy is not clear. Voters need better education on it. I need
better education on it. The idea that it's being developed
behind closed doors is VERY disturbing in a democracy. As
a part of the China-containment strategy, it's relevant to we Chinese-
Americans.
6. Any Anti-China or other anti-Chinese racist speech.
7. Obama already are relaxing some high tech exports to China.
China has been a partner/ally/friend for so long, it's ridiculous that
there's still a lot of export restrictions in peaceful space technologies.
A lot more military and civilian cooperation need to happen
between US and China to really safeguard against an accident.
We live in a small world, we need to safe guard it. Remember
Fukushima.
The voters are free to decide on their own preferred party/issues. But
they need to learn to weigh their various interests including their
ethnic identity and be educated on how the candidates stand on
issues particular to their ethnic identities. There will be conflicts,
maybe they like one candidate/party that is not endorsed by us, then
they need to figure out:
a. Hold their nose and vote according to voting bloc endorsement
b. vote their own pet candidate (perhaps knowing this candidate
might be a racist)
There are existing Chinese-American organizations like APAPA
and OCAnational (and others). We need to reach out to them and help
them organize the battleground states and locally in our own districts.
Technology savvy, ideas, votes, money, media connection, passion
and tolerance and patience. These are the foundations for equality
in a democracy. We asked for equality, we have to fight for it.
选票上四两拨千斤。 2016准备好吧！
