Why do Asian-Americans have the lowest voting turnout of all groups in the US? They'll tell you why in this documentary, commissioned by the San Diego Asian Film Foundation and screened at the San Diego Asian Film Festival 2008. One highlight of the film is comedian Dat Phan (winner of NBCs Last Comic Standing) and his riffs on Vietnamese attitudes to American politics. This version is shortened for Youtube. See more on www.eon-one.com.

  • Agreed. There's so much wrong with our electoral/ political system. So much is controlled behind the scenes by lobbyists and big money. We've got to get involved beyond just voting to really change things. But not voting individually doesn't really help (except if we did a mass election boycott).

  • Asians are not public charges of the United States of America. Asians don't rely on others for their living. Asians work hard on any part of the world. And I am proud to be one. I am not Asian American but an Asian living in America. Like your vid.

  • Asians is a tight community. You have to earn their trust before you can be accepted in the cirle. And Asians have little respect for self-serving politicians. Regardless of race, they all share the same coat.

  • Great vid.

    The most effective way to vote is locally - for props, Reps, Senators. But many citizens don't even know the difference between House/Senate, and most don't even know the name of their local Rep! Congress enacts the wishes of their constituents (us) daily, they are our voice.

    Regarding Electoral College: in the internet age, do we not have the technology to have a popular vote actually count? Electoral College is an outdated system from the days before high-speed communication!
