First Presidential Debate Tonight

President Trump will face the most direct challenge to his presidency by challenger Joe Biden tonight.

Trump and Biden meet tonight in Cleveland for their first of three debates. Fox News host Chris Wallace is the moderator. The candidates won’t shake hands.

Tonight’s debate topics will include, “The Trump and Biden Records,” “The Supreme Court,” “COVID-19,” “The Economy Race,” “Violence In Our Cities” and “The Integrity of the Election.” Each segment will last 15 minutes.

According to a New York Times report, Trump paid no income taxes in 10 of 15 years beginning in 2000. In both the years he won the presidency and in his first year in the White House Trump paid just $750 in federal income tax.

Trump denied the report and said this was fake news despite the newspaper having copies of the tax return.

No single issue will dominate tonight’s debate more than the coronavirus pandemic. We have now lost more than 200,000 lives in America to this virus.

In the Supreme Court nomination, Republicans have decided to press forward with nominated Amy Barrett to be the new Supreme Court judge. If she is confirmed, the conservatives would hold a 6-3 court majority for long time.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin are trying once more to get a stimulus deal finished before the election. Democrats have unveiled a new $2.2 trillion plan. This bill will be very important for the economy recovery.

All these issues are facing us today. We hope the three presidential debates will tell the people the truth and give answers to solving the problems.

For all of us what we want are the basic needs of health and a sufficient living standard. With this crisis, political slogans will not help us at all.

Election Day is around the corner. All of us can start early voting on October 13^th. You need to register before October 3rd in order to qualify to vote. Let’s act on now. This is our right and responsibility that is directly related to the future of the nation.

     政治大戲今晚開鑼

美國總統大選首次辯論今晚在克利佛蘭市正式啟動，川普總統將會在辯論會上接受民主黨拜登之極大挑戰。

辯論會將由福斯電視台主播華䒹斯主持發問，問題將包括新冠疫情，最高法院法官之認命， 國家面對之经濟難題及種族平等等問題，全長共九十分鐘。

根據紐約時報之報導，川普總統過去十五年中，十年都沒有付稅，在他付稅年限中 每年只付了七百五十元美金， 其中兩年還在他就任總統時發生，這項不可思議的報導立即被川普否認說是假消息。

在今晚辯論題目中最主要的還是新冠疫情，美國疫情還在不斷蔓延之中，已經超過二十萬人喪生，最高法院法官之任命共和黨正在快馬加鞭要把保守派變為絕大多數。

民主黨議長佩洛西也正在進行第二次的經濟刺激方案在大選前通過，這對兩黨選民都是歡迎的大事。

離開十一月三日大選日子已經不遠，登記投票日期是十月三日之前，十月十三日開始就可以提前投票，我們希望大家務必參加登記去投下神聖的一票。

對於我們國際華亞裔社區而言， 這真是令人憤慨的一年，我們既然選擇美國是我們安身立命之地，我們必須行動起來。
