Fortune cookie politics

10.10.06 - Posted by AsiansVote

From KIROTV.com:

Asian food restaurants are distributing campaign messages tucked inside their fortune cookies, urging customers to back a $31.5 million proposal that would fund community and cultural facilities.

Ronald Cheng, owner of a local Chinatown restaurant, concocted the cookie idea based on his support for the proposal's inclusion of $5 million for an Asian American resource center.

He said he's gotten a lot of compliments about the campaign, but discounted any criticism. "It's a fortune cookie," he said. "You don't like it, you throw it away. It's not a big deal."
