美國新冠疫情日記06/17 Our Votes Decide The Nation’s Future

Our Votes Decide The Nation’s Future

Vice President Mike Pence has tried to declare that the coronavirus is over amid other actions including President Trump’s push to reopen the country by hosting a big rally this weekend in Oklahoma. Despite the White House’s attempt to declare the pandemic is over, 28 states still are experiencing significant increases in new cases of the virus. Harvard professor Dr Ashish Jha said we may be done with the pandemic, but the pandemic is not done with us.

In Washington, the White House has already filed a lawsuit to stop a book published by former National Security Advisor John Bolton. In the meantime, the District of Columbia is trying to become the fifty-first state so that they can get equal treatment as a state.

In Sugar Land, Texas, one Republican candidate has openly attacked China as our enemy and has created a big political blowback blast in the local Asian community. In Fort Bend county, a judge there is of Asian descent.

According to a recent survey, eighty percent of people in the U.S. are feeling that the nation is in turmoil. People in this nation are suffering not only because of the coronavirus pandemic, but also because of the ongoing political unrest. People have lost their jobs, students have to stay home -- all these family and social issues are making people very unhappy.

We are urging all our voters to think twice when election time comes. Your vote is so important to make the right decisions for our own future as well as for the future of our nation.

   我們的選票決定國家之命運

副總統彭斯日前宣稱美國疫情已經過去，並將爲川普本週末在奧克拉荷馬之總統造勢活動及全國經濟活動粉飾太平，在此同時有十八個州的診斷患者還在增加之中。

在華府白宮，已經向法院控訴制止前國安顧問波頓出版他揭發白宮內情之著作，在此同時，華盛頓特區正在醞釀申請成爲美國的第五十一個州，以便享有和各州之相等待遇，但相信共和黨在國會會極力反對，川普總統在其狂熱支持者的動員下，美國總統大選將會上演大戲碼。

位于德州休斯敦近郊的糖城，居民大約有百分之二十是華亞裔，就連當地的郡長喬治先生也是印度裔，最近在德州第二十二選區爭取共和黨國會議員席次的女士在電視上公開反華言論 ，這支廣告將會嚴重影響華裔形象及造成反華情緒，我們不可不防，希望選民能團結，共同抵制其不當行徑。

總觀當前國家處境，在一項民調中顯示有百分之八十受訪者都認爲，我們正處于溷亂不安之情況，大家對國家未來沒有信心，究其原因，除了最近的種族歧視抗爭事件之外，全國面對之新冠疫情帶來的經濟沖擊，導致社會動盪，加上美國大選逼近，兩黨都在不擇手段爭取勝利。

遺憾的是，平民老百姓正在遭受生活上之困苦，各級學校停課，衆多孩童呆在家中， 家長無法工作也造成極大的家庭問題。

我們慎重呼籲選民們要睜亮眼睛，十一月份的總統大選事關我們國家未來之前途， 一定要撐握手中神聖的一票。
