大俠行天下日記 我見我聞我思 10/05



參政是我們的權利和義務


福邊區民主黨黨魁景亞主席今晨和即將參選艾利夫學區委員的帕垂牧師參觀了美南傳媒總部, 我們不但給予親切之接待, 而且深入的探討了亞華裔參加政治活動的經驗和問題。


多年來 ,我在此接待了無數的參政訪客,他們的目的只有兩個, 一個是尋求媒體之支持, 另外就是選票和钞票。


景亞主席之到訪, 我們感到十分之榮幸, 她談到今天少數族裔包括拉丁 亞裔及非裔在內正在面臨共和黨之圍剿, 雖然過去十年我們的少數族裔人口在德州增加了百分之九十五 ,但是, 在共和黨佔多數的德州議會正在重劃選區, 企圖壓制少數族裔之代表性, 她說,我們一定要全力反對這些不公平的法案。


同行的帕垂牧師要競選艾利學區委員 ,他位於我們國际區之基督教大教堂會員近萬人, 佔地六畝, 對社區服務工作非常極積, 他主張學區應加強科技教育 ,趕上時代需求 ,由於他群眾基礎雄厚, 應該是勝卷在握。


我們的交談十分融洽, 我毫無異議給他全力支持和助選 ,他們也一再提起亞華裔人參政之重要性, 我們需要團結互助 ,共同來決定自己的未來。





We All Need To Participate In Politics


It was my honor to receive Ft. Bend County Democratic Chairwoman Cynthia Ginyard and Pastor Gregg Patrick in our office. We gave them a tour and discussed a lot of community issues.


I also want to point out how important it is for members of our community to participate in the political process, especially at the local level.


Pastor Patrick is running for Alief ISD Trustee Position # 7. This is our district which is also in our International District.


The pastor's vision is to “secure more educational benefits and educational facilities for administrators, teachers and students of Alief ISD and increase the availability of new technology and improve current educational infrastructure and acquire necessary finances through the creation of bond issues and business partnerships to meet the ever-evolving needs of Alief ISD.”


After our conversation we decided to fully support Pastor Gregg Patrick in his run for Alief ISD Trustee Position # 7.


We are also planning a town hall meeting with Congressman Al Green on the upcoming Friday at 3:00 pm in our TV studio to discuss additional issues facing our community.
