The 80-20 Initiative, officially the 80-20 Political Action Committee, Incorporated, is a national political action committee which seeks to unite 80% of the Asian American as a block vote behind the presidential candidate who best represents the interests of Asian Americans. The PAC refers to itself as independent but has backed the Democratic presidential candidate in every election since 2000. The "Asia Gate" of 1996-97, which was an alleged effort by the People's Republic of China to influence domestic American politics, sowed the seed for Asian American political empowerment. Frustrated by what he viewed to be the political exploitation of Asian American’s naïveté as evidenced by “Asia Gate”, Dr. S.B. Woo, former Lieutenant Governor of Delaware, set out to organize support to prevent its recurrence. In the foreword of the book, Click on Democracy, he related his disappointment with the media, the Democratic and Republican Parties for misrepresenting and misusing Asian Americans, and his despair over the Asian American community’s inaction and its failure to defend itself, rooted in its lack of political maturity and cohesiveness.
