Help Tibet: Write To Your Congressman
April 10th, 2008
Silly me, I wrote to my congressman this morning about the whole Tibet and China issue. What good will that do? I don’t know, but I haven’t been able to go out and protest, so I had to do something.
You too can write to your congressman.
Tell them anything that bugs you! Here’s the letter I sent. And I plan to write another, better written letter. This was just a quick one:
Please… I humbly beg you to use your influence in our government to voice American opposition to the crisis in Tibet, and the cruel and unjust actions of the Chinese government.
I believe that to simply ignore Tibet’s request for independence, and their wish to freely practice their religion and culture, is an important one. And the United States goes out of its way worldwide to help those countries that need help as far as basic human rights are concerned.
In this modern age we are a global community, and we are affected by events that may shape our lives on a global scale. Human Rights, the ability to practice one’s culture and religion and personal philosophies are everyone’s God-given right.
Surely, if the Chinese government wins here because of its economic power and military might, then globally, we have lost the battle.
Hopefully, something can be done or said on our side to help sway the tide in Tibet’s favor and help win its independence, just like other countries in the past have won their independence, like India from the United Kingdom, and the Philippines from Spain and the United States.
Sincerely,
Carlos Rull
