To Chinese-American voters:
What happened last year has made it sufficiently clear
that We need to form a voter bloc. The way voting
bloc works, is before the primary election (for each
party), we invite the candidates to our events to post
them on our particular issues and concerns. Then
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 (but excluding Israel). 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
us Chinese-Americans.
6. Any Anti-China or other anti-Chinese racist speech.
媒体/国民最常见的排华倾向的teaser问题,我们要有递交1-3最佳的答案给竞选
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.
8. alliance with Taiwanese, Hongkong, Singapore and
other Chinese immigrants voters. We need to build
bridges of peace and trust, keep building it till we
have that.
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)
c. try to change the pet candidate into their dream candidate.
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.
Because this letter is only allowed to be on 4 board,
I need help getting as
many people as possible to see it. Please feel free to pass it around
without significant omissions. Thanks,
参考选票上四两拨千斤。 2016准备好吧! 基本上没有重复这里的内容,而是说明
battleground state 的重要。
