Is any one interested in challenging us? Please see the last paragraph on
that topic.
In the last election 80-20 succeeded in delivering 63/34 to Gore in
California only. Most exit polls including the LA Times polls said that.
However, we are quite confident that we can deliver 8 to 2 to either a D
or a R presidential candidate in CA, WA, and OR in 2004. Please read the
following e-mail message. Thank you.

A recent survey shows that 80-20 shall be able to deliver a block-vote
to EITHER the Democratic OR the Republican presidential candidate of
2004. This should help GREATLY induce both political parties to work
with us in our effort to win equal opportunity.
The sample size is 350 persons taken randomly from our "Basic" e-
mail list of 11,500 supporters. The response-rate is more than 30%,
making the answers strongly representative of the entire "Basic" group.
1. Since the last presidential election, I have
much more confidence in 80-20, 41%
somewhat more, 24%
unchanged, 30%
somewhat less, 3%
much less confidence in 80-20. 2%
2. IF the 2004 PRESIDENTIAL election were to occur today, I'll vote
according to 80-20's recommendation, 52%
the opposite of what 80-20 recommends, 0%
my own decision without any regard for 80-20's recommendtn, 2%
my own decision with a lot of regard for 80-20's recommdtn, 27%
my own decision with some regard for 80-20's recommendtn 20%
Note that question 2 is OPEN-ENDED. It does not specify a party or a
name, yet 52% of the respondents "will vote according to 80-20's
recommendation." Another 47% will give "a lot of regard" or "some"
for 80-20's recommendation, suggesting an overwhelming 98% of our
"Basic" supporters will be affected by80-20's endorsement in 2004.
Survey question (1) deals with "changing confidence in 80-20, since
the last presidential election" of 4 months ago. 65% respondents
indicated that they have "somewhat more" or "much more"
confidence. Of the 30% who indicated "no change," a large majority
will vote "according to 80-20's recommendation!" In other words, the
approval rate is better than 90%.
80-20 has NOT surveyed its supporters on its "Condition" e-mail list
which is composed of about 415,000 moderate supporters. In the past,
the survey results of the two groups converge, although the "Basic"
group is about 6 to 12 months ahead of the Condition group in its
strength of support for 80-20.
In short, our community's political cohesiveness and maturity are
increasing most rapidly. We are fulfilling our GENERATIONAL
RESPONSIBILITY to win first class citizenship for our children.

NOTE: If either major political party, or a large media, doubts the
validity of the above poll, 80-20 will accept the challenge of another
poll with a difference random list but posing the identical question.
We only ask that the challenger will agree to help publicize the results
of the "new" poll.
