Political Action Committee

CALL TO ACTION
-- estimated chance of success is 99.9%,
if
you get involved!
On May 26 Repts.
Judy Chu (D-CA) and Judy Biggert (R-IL) introduced
a bipartisan resolution (not a bill) expressing regret for six decades of
legislation targeting the Chinese people for physical and
political
exclusion, including the infamous Chinese Exclusion
Act. It is known
as House Resolution 282. A parallel bipartisan Senate
Resolution
201 was also introduced by Sens. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) and Scott
Brown
(R-MA).
On May 28, Cong.
Chu asked 80-20 to help secured co-sponsors of both
resolutions. This "Call To Action" is to ask YOU to help
secure co-
sponsorship from your own Congressperson.
80-20 never asks our supporters to do anything
which it doesn't do itself.
So, we first spent the last 6 days securing co-sponsors ourselves.
Result? A
complete success! The ENTIRE congressional
delegation of Delaware, the
First State, became co-sponsors. Senator Tom Carper &
Christ Coons
are co-sponsoring S. Res. 201. Delaware's one and only
Congressman,
John Carney, co-sponsors H. Res. 282. When S.B. wrote to thank
each,
Senator Tom Carper emailed back and said, "S.B. you are welcome, but
it is we who should thank you. All the best. Tom"
Will you please work with 80-20 to become a
successful lobbyist of your
own Congressperson? It'll be educational and fun. :-)
1) Click on http://www.congressmerge.com/onlinedb/ to go to
a map.
Click on your state, then click on the "Contact Form" to the right
of
Your Congressperson's name. Fill out the info that is required by
your
Rept. You are ready to email the following.
2) Use your own words but state something as shown
below:
"I am an Asian American, and I urge you to
co-sponsor the bipartisan
H. Res. 282. For background
information, please find the research
done by Mr. Harlan Geer on S. Res.
201, at the request of Sen. Carper
of DE, which is almost identical to
S.R. 282. Sen. Carper is now a co-
sponsor of H.R. 201.
'Dear Senator Carper:
I am following up on Mr. Woo’s
request that you cosponsor Senate
Resolution 201. . . . . Here is some
background on this issue:
Starting in 1882, Congress passed
a series of discriminatory anti-
Chinese laws, most notably the
Chinese Exclusion Act. This bill barred
anyone 1000 of Chinese descent from
immigrating to America. This was
the first federal law barring any
race or ethnicity of people from
immigrating to the United States. The
original bill barred anyone from
China immigrating for 10 years, while
an amendment passed two years
later barred immigration of any
person of Chinese descent, regardless
of whether they are immigrating from
China or any other country. A
bill in 1892 extended this ban
another 10 years, while a bill in 1902
extended this ban indefinitely. (emphasis added by S. B. Woo) After
41
years, Congress repealed the ban in
1943, coinciding with the Chinese
allying with the US during World War
II. Congress never passed a bill
or resolution expressing regret or
apologizing for the original ban.
Recommendation:
. . you should cosponsor S. Res
201. The 1882 Chinese Exclusion laws
unfairly targeted people of Chinese
origin and descent on the basis of
anti-Chinese prejudices and for no
other reason. . . . Harlan'
Please co-sponsor H Res 282. All
Chinese Americans, perhaps all Asian
Americans since we are mostly in the
same boat, in your district
will thank you! Please be so kind as
to let me know of your decision.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
[Yours full name.
Title (if you have an impressive
title, use it & add (title
is for identification purposes
only))]"
3) Copy and Paste item 2 onto the window for your
"message."
4) After you have e-mailed your congressman, let me know
his or her name,
party affiliation, state, and Congressional
District number.
Congratulations, you are now a lobbyist! :) Let me know when your
Congressperson replies to tell you whether to co-sponsor or not.
Do NOT
forward me his/her form reply.
You are DONE! Step by step, we become full-fledged
US citizens --
upholding all our responsibilities and demanding our full
rights.
