如何請求自己選區的美國聯邦參議員和眾議員譴責ABC電視台

最近美國ABC電視台播放的兒童提議殺光中國人以免除美國債務的節目，我們華人身在美國，一定要齊心協力，共同聲討。這種言論針對中國人，主持人和ABC廣播公司都覺得風趣幽默，坦然播放。如果是針對猶太人或者黑人，ABC廣播公司還會播放嗎？

2002年，美國大選後，共和黨人一舉奪得參眾兩院控製權。參議員多數黨領袖Trent Lott得意至極，在參議員Strom Thurmond的百歲生日晚會上說，當年Strom Thurmond競選總統，我們為他投票，我們很自豪。如果他當年競選美國總統成功，美國今天麵臨的很多問題現在就根本不會存在。1948年, Strom Thurmond是作為支持宗族隔離，反對民權法案的黨派候選人參加總統競選的。

就為了這句話，Trent Lott麵臨各界巨大壓力，被迫辭去參議員多數黨領袖，從此淡出國家政治台麵。

今天，ABC廣播公司悍然無視億萬中國人和百萬美籍華人，播放含有此類言論的節目，可見根本不把華人放在眼裏，我們如果不能做出強有力的回擊，以後此類事會更多，更沒有人會把華人放在眼裏。

我建議，大家都給自己所在州的參議員和自己選區的眾議員發信，或者發電子郵件，或者傳真，請求他們發聲支持我們，譴責ABC廣播公司。誰響應我們，我們以後投票時自會考慮進去。

為了大家的方便，我草擬了一封簡單的信，信後附加了參議員名單和地址鏈接，並附加了我們各自選區的眾議員姓名和聯係方法。希望各位稍微花些時間。Directory of U.S. House of Representatives: http://www.house.gov/representatives/

Address

Honorable Congressman/Senator XXX:

I am a Chinese American in your district in the State of XXX and I am writing to seek your support in our protest against the skit aired on ABC’s late-night talk show, which had a child suggesting that the U.S. should “kill everyone in China” to eliminate the U.S. national debt owed to China, in response to Jimmy Kimmel’s question on how the U.S. could resolve the $1.3 trillion debt owed to China.

Instead of immediately telling the child that it is wrong and immoral to even entertain such an idea, Jimmy Kimmel responded by saying that this was an interesting idea. While we understand the skit’s comic nature, we nevertheless find such remarks offensive and we especially find Jimmy Kimmel’s response and ABC’s decision to air the skit appalling and unacceptable by not only us Chinese Americans but indeed by any person of a good conscience regardless of the person’s race or origin.  

 

We Chinese Americans need you to take a stand on this matter which is of great important to us and we need you to speak out on our behalf in condemning such remarks and ABC’s airing of the skit. We hope we can count on you as our representative. We will continue to support you in any way we can and we wish you success in your upcoming election.

We thank you in advance for your efforts in helping us.

Sincerely yours,

XXX
