          2)Asian and Pacific Islander Americans from various ancestral 
            backgrounds represent over 14 percent of California's 
            population and have had to overcome tremendous odds and

            families.

          3)Asian and Pacific Islander Americans continue to be an 
            important role in California's diverse tapestry of ideas and 
            continue to contribute to the urban and rural growth of the 
            state by revitalizing many of the communities with their new 
            ideas and economic opportunities.

          4)Asian and Pacific Islander Americans have a proud legacy of
