社評 0610 群眾政治動員大會 支持惠特邁參議員選市長

群眾政治動員大會  支持惠特邁參議員選市長

今天是週末， 我們大家將集聚在休斯敦棒球塲上舉行千人群眾大會， 共同表達支持參議員惠特邁競選市長大會， 來自各行各業各族裔及警政消防之人士將參加大會。

市長選舉是本市政府每四年之大事， 市長擁有極大權力 ，有對行政之絕對権利， 掌控全市之大小事。 包括對市府二十多位高管之任免權， 由於地域行政區廣大， 市府之消警人員有數千人之多。

今年對華亞裔社區而言， 是非常不平凡的一年。 尤其是已經有明顥疫情過後， 許多政治氛圍有了非常明顯之變化， 而且參政之意識也逐漸高漲 。

現任德外參議員惠特邁是最早一位走進華亞裔市長候選人， 他不但態度誠懇， 對人親切，而且對亞裔所𠄘受之不公不義也非常同情， 並且經常站上第一線， 為我們仗義執言。

我們呼籲大家，今天這場群眾政府集會， 是我們參政重要之第一步 ，大家手牽手， 心連心， 把惠特邁參議員今年十一月市長大選中送進休斯敦市政府大樓。

Big Rally In Support Of Whitmire’s Run For Mayor Of Houston

Today we will be gathering at Houston’s Minute Maid Park to hold a  big rally to support Senator John Whitmire’s run for Mayor of Houston. People from all walks of life including Asian American firefighters and the police association will join the rally. 

The mayoral election is the most important political event in our city every four years. The city’s mayor is very powerful. He is the one who controls all the executive branches and we have thousands of policemen and firefighters.

This year is a very extraordinary year for our Asian American community, especially after the Covid pandemic. 

Senator Whitmire is the first mayoral candidate to approach our community. He is not  only sincere and kind to people, he is also very sympathetic to our community that has received so much unfair abuse and open discrimination. He often stands on the front line and speaks for us. 

We invite all in our community to join the rally. This is a very important step as we express our support in the mayoral election.
