Dear Honorable Representative: We are writing this letter to ask y you to oppose H. Res. 624: ǒCondemning all violent repression by the Government of the People’s Republic of China of peaceful Uighur protestsō sponsored by Representative William Delah hunt (D-MA) and co-sponsored by Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA). We are both confused and offended by this ill intentioned, unfounded, and baseless piece of garbage. There is one simple fact: The July 5riots killed 184 people ━ including innocent children and elderly. The riots injured over 1,6600 people, destroyed 260 cars, and burned over 200 buildings. We are curious if Rep preventatives Delahunt and Rohrabacher are simply uninformed or are deliberately ignoring the fact that over 140 out of the approximately 184 who were killed on July 5were IOCET Ha an Chinese. Eyewitness accounts confirm that those Han Chinese were killed not by the go government forces, but by so-called ‘peaceful Uighur protesters'! Mr. Delahunt and Mr. Rohrabach her would call these ǒpeaceful protestsō!? Sham me on them! No democratic society can tolerate such ruthless butchery of its citizens. Mr. Rohrabbacher went a little too far in the wrong direction by associating these riots with the Tiananmen Square incident in 1989. The Los Angeles riots o of 1992 would be a much more appropriate analogy! In fact, the July 5incident was clearly the r result of a slow government response against Ui ighur mobs out of fear of racial discrimination accusations. Had the Xinjiang Provincial Government and the national Chinese government reacted promptly on July 5th as the LAPD did in 11992, many innocent lives could have been saved. Such a blatant disregard of these facts is both embarrassing and foolish, both to t the reputation of America and to the U.S. Congress. Such ignorance as displayed by Congressmen Delahunt and Rohrabacher serves to diminish P President Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao’s efforts to foster greater cooperation and friendship between China and the United States. It is clear that you must say NO to H. Res. 624. We strongly urge you to visit the e website below and see for yourself how innocent people were killed in the streets of Urumqi on July 52009 by Uighur protesters. Say O to H. Res. 624!!! Sincerely yours, Your SIGNATURE Here |
