The US Should Not Participate in An Olympics Hosted by A Criminal Government

US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher made a speech on "National Security and American Foreign Policy" on October 1, 2007 in the House of Representatives. Mr. Rohrabacher pointed out that while the Chinese Communist Party persecutes peaceful Falun Gong practitioners, the United States should not participate in an Olympics hosted by such a criminal government.

Mr. Rohrabacher said that he would ask his colleagues to join him in support of his bill. He said: "The legislation is H.R. 610. It is a bill suggesting that we go on record as being in favor of boycotting the upcoming Olympics to be held in China." Full Article Link

Does he know about the persecution of Tibetans as well???

“Whether the Chinese government admits it or not, there is a problem. The problem is a nation with ancient cultural heritage is actually facing serious dangers,” he said. “Whether intentionally or unintentionally, some kind of cultural genocide is taking place.” By His Holiness The Dalai Lama

If man will only realize that it is unmanly to obey laws that are unjust, no man's tyranny will enslave him. This is the key to self-rule or home-rule. By Mahatma Gandhi

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our breasts than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence. Violence is any day preferable to impotence. There is hope for a violent man to become non-violent. There is no such hope for the impotent. By Mahatma Gandhi

Far better than cowardice would be meeting one's death fighting. By Mahatma Gandhi

"Negroes are human, not superhuman. Like all people, they have differing personalities, diverse financial interests and varied aspirations. There are Negroes who will never fight for freedom. There are Negroes who will seek profit for themselves alone from the struggle. There are even some Negores, who will cooperate with the oppressors. These facts should distress no one. Every minority and every people has its share of opportunists, profiteers, freeloaders and escapists. The hammer blows of discrimination, poverty and segregation must warp and corrupt some. No on can pretend that because a people may be oppressed, every individual member is virtuous and worthy. The real issue is whether in the great mass the dominant characteristics are decency, honor and courage." By Dr. Martin Luther King
