Looks so half-assly done! Really, who is behind this group? I mean... do Asian Americans have to do martial arts and kung fu to get out the freakin' vote? I find Kelly Hu's own youtube videos more inspirational than this load of poop! Yes on LISA LING! O m g. this is a tragic tragic tragic PSA.

But what I meant when I mentioned Oprah was an Asian American as well known and well regarded as Oprah. I don't think Lisa Ling nor any Asian American woman (or man for that matter) has gotten to that level yet. Cynthia – true, I didn’t think of Lisa Ling.

As for Asian America's version of Oprah, we have Lisa Ling! Here is a woman who is articulate, intelligent and vocal in exploring issues of interest to Asians and Asian Americans. Just to name a few things she has spotlighted--- China's Lost Girls, Asian American adoptees, life in North Korea, Yao Ming (before most people knew who he was)... I think if Lisa Ling were to share a message to our community about voting and political involvement, her words would also carry a lot of weight.
