U. S. Senator John Ensign was awarded �SPIRIT OF ENTERPRISE� by U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
By Tiffany Chang and PAI of WBTI*1

It is our pleasue to learn that U. S. Senator John Ensign was awarded �SPIRIT OF ENTERPRISE� by U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The following is a post of the Press Release of Senator Jon Ensign from his Office in Washington, D. C. on Thursday, March 10, 2005:

Washington, D.C. � Senator John Ensign today received the �Spirit of Enterprise� award from the United States Chamber of Commerce for his voting record during the 2nd session of the 108th Congress.*2

�For America�s economic future to remain prosperous, we must encourage pro-growth policies so that we continue to be the leader in innovation and entrepreneurship,� Ensign said. �I am honored to be recognized by the Chamber.�

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce gives out the award based on key business votes by Congressional members and ranks them in its annual publication, How They Voted. Members of Congress who support pro-business positions on at least 70 percent of the key votes receive the award. Senator Ensign was well above that mark with a 91 percent for votes cast on pro-growth legislation.

�It is critical to have members of Congress fighting for American business and their employees at this time of economic expansion and opportunity,� said Thomas J. Donohue, Chamber President and CEO. �John Ensign is a leader who has voted time and again to create jobs, improve our domestic security, and promote economic expansion.�

�Pro-growth policies are critical to small businesses in Nevada because they stimulate the economy and promote job creation,� Ensign said. �I will continue to support legislation that keeps Nevada�s economy flourishing.�

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world�s largest business federation, representing more than three million businesses and organizations.*3

The following introduction about U. S. Senator John Ensign edited by WBTI on December 26, 2004 was post on Reviewjournal.com and published by Google.com, Aol.com, Msn.com, among others:

About Senator John Ensign (By the editor of this flier)*4

Senator John Ensign has served the people of Nevada from his days as a veterinarian, small business owner, and U.S. Congressman to his present role as the 24th U.S. Senator for Nevada.

Senator Ensign was raised in northern Nevada and moved to southern Nevada where he graduated from Clark High School. He attended UNLV and earned a Bachelor�s degree from Oregon State University. He received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University in 1985.

Senator Ensign immediately began practicing veterinary medicine and opened the first 24-hour animal hospital in Las Vegas.

Throughout his career Ensign has fought for smaller, more effective government, lower taxes, a strong national defense and aggressive approach to combating terrorists, increased parental control in education choices, and quality health care for Nevada's seniors and veterans.

Senator Ensign was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000 and serves on the following committees: Armed Services; Budget; Commerce, Science, and Transportation; Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP); Small Business and Entrepreneurship; and Veterans Affairs. Ensign is Chairman of the Readiness and Management Support Subcommittee of the Armed Services Committee. In addition, Senator Ensign chairs the High Tech Task Force and serves as Vice Chairman of the Republican Steering Committee, a group that shapes the party�s legislative agenda.

Since taking office, Ensign has worked hard to fulfill his promises to the people of Nevada. His Education High Growth Grant amendment, which brings tens of millions of extra dollars to Nevada schools, was included in the education bill signed into law by President Bush. The Prescription Discount Card for Seniors, a key part of Ensign's prescription drug plan, was endorsed by President Bush and would allow many seniors to cut their prescription drug bills by 40%. On the environmental front, enactment of the Ensign/Reid Clark County Lands Bill will protect environmentally sensitive areas in southern Nevada, allow recreational opportunities to continue, and improve the quality of life.

Ensign has taken the lead on technology issues as well. His "Dot Kids" legislation creates a subdomain on the Internet where children can explore the Internet without the fear of being exposed to material parents may deem inappropriate. His bill to delay the 700 MHz spectrum auction from moving forward was a critical step toward improving our nation's wireless network. Both were signed into law by President Bush.

Ensign spends his workweek in Washington and his weekends in Las Vegas with his wife, Darlene, and their three children-Trevor, Siena, and Michael.

John has been honored as Advisor and Vice Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) since November 1999.*5

Asians in America---We�re the fastest growing ethnic Americans!
By Tiffany Chang

It is our pleasure to post an article written by Rita Villadiego about the National Asian American Republican Coalition (NAARC). It was entitled "Fil-Am elected as head of Asian-American Republican coalition". The article was released by the Philipino Express Online. It was found by us in Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) through the searching of "Dr. Jasmine Brooks" on the Google.com at March 19, 2005:

Fil-Am elected as head of Asian-American Republican coalition
By Rita Villadiego*2

Washington, D.C., January 28, 2005 --- Vowing to empower Asian Americans, Dr. Sonny Carlota, a Filipino-American based in Tennessee was unanimously elected chairman of the National Asian American Republican Coalition (NAARC).

�I�m proud to be a Tennessean of Filipino descent,� said Dr. Carlota who shone in politics in 1983 when he was elected as Vice Mayor of Lakeland, his home city, in 1993.

Other elected officers of the Coalition were Dr. Grace Shu (PA), 1st Vice Chair; Elena Brady (NV)*2, 2nd Vice Chair; Dolly de Leon (NV)*3, Secretary; Tran Dinh Truong (NY), Treasurer.

�We�ve got work to do. The stakes are high. We need to empower the 13 million Asian Pacific Americans politically, economically, and socially,� said Carlota. �We�re the fastest growing ethnic Americans. Yet there�s a long list of unmet needs in the community.�

Carlota was appointed by President Bush to the President�s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in 2001-2003. He chaired the Commission�s SubCommittee on Health which prepared a comprehensive report on health disparities among Asian Pacific Americans. Right recommendations on solving the Asian health needs were an integral part of the report submitted to the President.

The NAARC is a diverse group of community leaders representing the major Asian Pacific Islander population that helped determine the final outcome of the 2004 presidential elections, Carlota said.*4

With participatory leadership, the newly elected national chairman said that he would work towards implementing a 5-Point Plan which are to: 1.) Broaden the base of membership nationwide by appointing ethnic co-chairs for each nationality, and have the co-chairs recognized by the State Republican Committees in their respective areas; 2.) Work for the appointment of qualified Asian Pacific Americans in federal, state, and local governments and the private sector; 3.) Encourage and support qualified Asian Pacific American Republicans to run for public office in the federal, state and local levels; 4.) Steer the ethnic republican groups to integrate with the activities of the State and County Republican Committees during primaries, federal, state and local elections; and 5.) Strengthen NAARC�s working relationships with the White House, Republican Senators and Congressmen, the RNC, as well as the State, and local Republican Committees.*5

After the elections, Carlota announced a partial list of appointees to serve as part of his leadership team: Charles Wang (NY), co-chair, Chinese Americans; Paul Blanco (CA), co-chair, Filipino Americans; Dr. Sonny Lee (NJ), co-chair, Korean Americans; Dr. Jasmine Brooks*6 (NV), co-chair, Vietnamese Americans; Dr. Leo Pandac (CA), executive director; Rudy Asercion (CA), communications director; Jun Policarpio (NY), White House liaison; and Augustus Alzona (MD), political director.*7

We are pleased to learn that the Asian American Republican Coalition of Nevada - Clark County Chapter has been established in Las Vegas, Nevada. The most recent Executive Meeting was held by its President, Dr. Jasmine Brooks, at 1:00 p. m. on March 12, 2005. The location was at Suite 217, 6767 W. Tropicana Avenue, in Las Vegas.*8

The follwing is some introduction about U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley by WBTI through Google.com, Aol.com, Reviewjournal.com, among others:*2

U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in November, 1998.

She completed junior high and high school in Las Vegas, then went on to become the first member of her family to attend college when she enrolled in UNLV. Elected Student Body President, 1971-1972, she graduated with honors and a B.A. in Political Science from UNLV in 1972.

Shelley is a former Vice Chair of the Nevada University and Community College System Board of Regents. Appointed to the Board in 1990 by the Governor, she was then twice elected as a Regent by Las Vegas-area voters. She completed her second term on the Board in 1998. Throughout her tenure, Shelley worked to keep higher education in Nevada affordable and accessible to all qualified students.

This bright lady has devoted her energies to charitable and civic efforts ever since she was a teenager. Her work and ideas have contributed to many of Southern Nevada�s successes.

On February 23, 2004, U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley wrote Dr. and Mrs. Tony Lei that,"Thank you for your generous contribution to my re-election campaign. I greatly appreciate your support.

She was the former Regent of University and Colleges of Nevada. She has been Executive Advisor for Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) since 1996.*4 Her successful leadership both good in work performance and human relations has won all her assistants' and followers' full and sincere respects.

It is brought to you now by Las Vegas Review-Journal's reviewjournal.com through the section of "LAF5"*5 (now continues in "Social & Community") at: http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti.

At the time when Shelley was elected as the Member of IRC, she told Las Vegas Review-Journal that to promote the tourism, trade, and investment with foriegn countries for Nevada and our states is her primary interest. Her emphasis is enhancing the 2004 mission of WBTI:
(1). To encourage and promote academic research, community service, humane spirit, and educational programs. (2).

"Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the pleasantness of one's friend
springs from his earnest counsel,"
Proverbs 27:9 of the Bible taught us; and
"He who loves a pure heart
and whose speech is gracious
will have the king for his friend,"
Proverb 22:11 of the Bible inspired us again.

Shelley's popularlity is arising from her effective production for public service and good personal traits by nature and sincerity.

U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley wrote Dr. Tony Lei that,*7 "Dear Tony: It is with great pride, pleasure, gratitude and relief that I write this letter of thanks to you for your support in the 2004 election.
........................................
I am very proud of the fact that I ran my campaign based on my record of accomplishments and on the issues confronting our nation and the people I represent in Southern Nevada.

As I head back to Washington, I am very mindful of the challenges facing our great country and the confidence you have placed in me to help formulate meaningful and thoughtful solutions to confront these challenges. I shall endeavor to conduct myself and this nation's business in a manner that will make you proud that you supported me in the election."

JUDGE BETSY KOLKOSKI WON REELECTION WHEN NO ONE FILED TO RUN AGAINST HER
By Judy Lei and Cheryl Moss*1

The following letter, which was sent to Dr. Tony Lei by Judge Betsy Kolkoski from Municipal Court - Department 2, was received by him on April 16, 2005:

March 15, 2005

Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei
2245 Homeland Street
Las Vegas, NV 89128

Dear Dr. Lei:

Your early and strong support of my reelection efforts and that of Judy's is greatly appreciated. As you know there is much hard work that goes into a campaign long before filing begins. In my case we placed fifty A-frames around the city to built early name recognition and support. While this was costly, it was one factor among several that ultimately resulted in no one filing to oppose me. Your donation helped fund this effort.

I appreciate, also, that this was the second campaign that you have supported. Old friends are the best and genuinely treasured.

Many thanks for your ongoing encouragement and support.

Sincerely,

Besty(signed)
Betsy Kolkoski

[You two are the best. I value our friendship. B. (Written by Betsy with a pen.)]*3

Sarah�s life is a story of firsts
By Dr. Harry Reid and PAI of WBTI*1

Nevada�s second statue in the U.S. Capitol's National Statuary Hall was dedicated March 9, 2005. The Sarah Winnemucca Statue will join Nevada's other statue of Patrick A. McCarran as the two statues contributed by the Silver State.

The following speech is the one that I delivered at the dedication ceremony. It would be most inspired by our people here in Nevada for the story of Sarah Winnemucca:

�Sarah Winnemucca is Nevada�s second statue in the Capitol. Our other statue, Senator McCarran, has been here for 45 years - which I believe marks the first time Sarah Winnemucca ever came in second to anyone.

�Sarah�s life is a story of firsts.*2

�She was the first female Native American to write a book. She set up Nevada�s first school for Native American children. And she was one of the first individuals to navigate between her own culture and the settlers.

�As someone who showed so much courage in charting a new course, Sarah�s statue fits in well among other �first� Americans in the Capitol, individuals like our first President George Washington�.and the first woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, Jeanette Rankin.

�And with Sarah�s statue, we experience another sort of �first� today.

�Sculptor Benjamin Victor becomes the youngest artist ever to complete a work for the National Statuary Hall Collection.

�None of us knew Sarah Winnemucca, but because of this 26 year-old man, we can get a glimpse of who she was � as will thousands of visitors to our nation�s Capitol each year. And when they see this work, they will get a sense of Nevada�s history�and our country�s history.

�One week ago, many of us gathered in this same spot to present Jackie Robinson�s widow with the Congressional Gold Medal. We praised Jackie for breaking the color barrier not just in baseball, but in minds across the country.

�It is praise we can equally lavish on Sarah Winnemucca for the work she did on behalf of Native Americans over 125 years ago.

�Disillusioned by the treatment and relocation of the Paiute people, Sarah became an activist - - in addition to the many other roles she held, which included teacher, author and translator.

�Sarah traveled across the country, introducing Americans to her people and the struggles they faced through a series of lectures on the East Coast. She even visited Washington, DC to plead her case with President Hayes and the Secretary of the Interior� only to be sent home with promises that would never be fulfilled.

�Having dealt with an indifferent U.S. government, it has been written that Sarah died believing she had not accomplished much � unconvinced that her life had an impact.

�I think if she could see us today, she might change her mind.

�While our country and our culture remain far from perfect, we are further down the trail Sarah set out on a Century ago. And while she may have died believing she did not make a difference, her image in the Capitol is proof her story remains very much alive.

�It took 45 years for Nevada to get its second statue in the Capitol. When you consider what Sarah did in just 47 years of life, you�ve got to wonder what took so long.

�As this statue takes its permanent place, I�m proud that Sarah is the newest face of Nevada in Washington, DC, and that as a state, we have helped ensure her legacy lives on for generations to come.�*3

The following is a part of the article written for Senator Harry Reid being awarded "Outstanding Democrat of the Decade," by Tiffany Chang.*4

Dear Doris, Good evening! How are you? Following your idea to erase the flier of 020805-5687 because the information was outdated (for the section of "Seniors United"), we did listen to you. It was already removed. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Judy & Tony

Ok Ladies take a second and do this please. I thought that you might want to know about this Congressional bill.
Lifetime TV has put this petition on its website. You can sign it with just your name and zip code.

Subject: Mastectomy Bill in Congress Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill - Important legislation for all women.
Please send this to everyone in your address book. If there was ever a time when our voices and choices should be heard,
this is one of those times. If you are receiving this it's because I think you will take the 30 seconds to go and vote on this
issue...and send it on to others you know who will do the same. There's a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act
which will require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital stay for patients undergoing a mastectomy. It's
about eliminating the "drive-through mastectomy" where women are forced to go home hours after surgery against the wishes
of their doctor, still groggy from anaesthesia and sometimes with drainage tubes still attached.
Lifetime Television has put this bill on their web page with a petition drive to show your support. Last year over half the House
signed on. PLEASE!!!! Sign the petition by clicking on the web site below. You need not give more than your name and zip
code number. < http://www.lifetimetv.com/health/breast_mastectomy_pledge.html

This takes about 2 seconds. PLEASE PASS THIS ON to your friends and family.
