Quotes
from members: "I want to contribute what I can by involving myself in the political process
and encouraging others in the community to fulfill their civic
duties," said Juliana Yu, a software engineer. "It was a rewarding experience,"
said Eddie Mei, a QA engineer. "We received a strong response from the community, and they
asked a lot of direct questions, although clearly language and cultural barriers make understanding
the political system difficult for them." "Voter turnout figures indicate that many registered
Asian voters in Quincy particularly did vote the last election*," said Betty Yau,
a marketing consultant. "We also know that many more are eligible but have not registered." (*1999) "The Internet is an economical
and interactive medium," said Allen Yau, a material controller. "Many of our members
are IT professionals, and the website will be an effective way to get the word out and make an impact on city elections," he added.
