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.

     政治大戏今晚开锣

美国总统大选首次辩论今晚在克利佛兰市正式啟动，川普总统将会在辩论会上接受民主党拜登之极大挑战。

辩论会将由福斯电视台主播华䒹斯主持发问，问题将包括新冠疫情，最高法院法官之认命， 国家面对之经济难题及种族平等等问题，全长共九十分鐘。

根据纽约时报之报导，川普总统过去十五年中，十年都没有付税，在他付税年限中 每年只付了七百五十元美金， 其中两年还在他就任总统时发生，这项不可思议的报导立即被川普否认说是假消息。

在今晚辩论题目中最主要的还是新冠疫情，美国疫情还在不断蔓延之中，已经超过二十万人丧生，最高法院法官之任命共和党正在快马加鞭要把保守派变為绝大多数。

民主党议长佩洛西也正在进行第二次的经济刺激方案在大选前通过，这对两党选民都是欢迎的大事。

离开十一月三日大选日子已经不远，登记投票日期是十月三日之前，十月十三日开始就可以提前投票，我们希望大家务必参加登记去投下神圣的一票。

对於我们国际华亚裔社区而言， 这真是令人愤慨的一年，我们既然选择美国是我们安身立命之地，我们必须行动起来。
