"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." --  Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Please read the prayers and silent cries of these people for justice and mercy.  These are just the few who had the courage to post their story. 

"On the last day, Jesus will say to those on His right hand, "Come, enter the Kingdom. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was sick and you visited me." Then Jesus will turn to those on His left hand and say, "Depart from me because I was hungry and you did not feed me, I was thirsty and you did not give me to drink, I was sick and you did not visit me." These will ask Him, "When did we see You hungry, or thirsty or sick and did not come to Your help?" And Jesus will answer them, "Whatever you neglected to do unto one of these least of these, you neglected to do unto Me!"  -- http://www.ewtn.com/New_library/breakfast.htm

Filipino-American Plaintiff in Discrimination Suit Sends Updates of Case Status. She Needs Your Help  

Here is another of Dr. Breyer's updates:   I attended a GALA with the Southern Christian Leadership Association with a theme of Social Justice last Saturday. The host, Rev. Graves, is a disabled veteran. They are inviting me to have a town hall meeting to advocate for veterans here in GA because I work in VA Medical Center also.  I am going to check with VA if I allowed to do this and with Rev. Graves if we can include Filipino veterans in their cause as well.

I met also with the Filipino and Chinese leaders here in Georgia last Saturday.  They agreed to support me by organizing a walk rally from Centennial Park to the Alumni Hall (President's and Administration's building of Georgia State University) by end of February. We would like to take my case under an overall theme for equality for all Asian Americans and enforcement of Executive Order 11246 (EO11246).  A group in the 80-20 initiative (consisting of 700 educators of bipartisan groups) said that its members are willing to campaign for my case after the February 5th primary election.  We will just have to plan something and coordinate it with them.

Below are some details of the EO11246 from the 80-20 website:

How We Win  Equal Opportunity for Asian Americans  

1. What is Executive Order 11246 (EO11246)?  

An executive order is equivalent to a law, until rescinded by the Congress. Issued by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965, EO 11246 forbids any organization from receiving federal money if they practice discrimination. It is enforced through the Labor Department's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). It is an extremely comprehensive and powerful law. Currently, the Labor Secretary is Elaine Chao, an Asian American.

2. Was EO11246 enforced to break the glass ceiling for APIAs?  

No. The enforcement of laws depends on politics, strange as it may sound. EO 11246 has been enforced for all Americans except for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

3. Did a glass ceiling exist for blacks and women, and how did they pierce it?  

They broke their respective glass ceiling with the help of EO 11246, after they toiled to acquire sufficient political clout to induce politicians to help them. Both private and government studies have shown EO 11246's effectiveness for blacks and women. (See, e.g., Leonard, Jonathan, 1984. "The Impact of Affirmative Action Regulation and Equal Employment Law on Black Employment" Journal of Economic Perspective .4:47-64.) To see evidence that the glass ceiling is much worse for Asian Americans than for blacks, women, or any other group: http://www.80-20initiative.net/news/preselect2008_attachmentA.asp  

4. How Does Enforcement of E.O. 11246 benefit me?  

Within 10 years of the enforcement of EO 11246 for Asian Americans, the number of Asian-American "executives/administrators/managers/senior-partners is estimated to rise by 3-fold in mainstream institutions. Even assuming that you don't work in a mainstream institution, just remember that A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL SHIPS.
