社评 1015 组成政治行动委员会之迫切性

组成政治行动委员会之迫切性

期中选举即将到来，包括州长在内的候选人，今午聚集在休斯敦美南新闻广塲上举行选前最大的一次选举造势活动， 我们也毫不犹豫地让大家来使用这块㘯地， 表示我们对选举之支持。

多年来， 我们一直非常热心地参与当地之各项活动， 许多友人更是出钱出力 ，為许多政客们摇旗呐喊 ，但是往往激情过后， 这些政客再也见不到人了。

我们应该积极组成一个政治行动委员会， 把所有可能动员的人力物力和财力融合在一起 ，集体行动来支持合乎条件之候选人。

事实上和我们最有密切关係的应该是市长 、市议员、 郡长及联邦国会议员。

民主政治之应作是在选票及钞票之两大支柱， 缺一不可， 我们华亚裔及国际社区已经在茁壮之中 ，為了维护自己之权益， 一定要组织团结起来， 政治行动委员会应该是最佳利器。

The Urgency Of Forming A Political Action Group

The midterm election is coming. Many candidates will be here at our compound today. We will not hesitate to let them use our compound in order to show our support.

Over the years, many of our community leaders have been very enthusiastic about participation in various political activities. They donate money, wave the flag and shout for politicians. But often, after all the passion, many politicians disappear.

Today we really need to form a political action group to integrate all of our human and financial resources that can be mobilized and take collective action to support the most qualified candidates. In fact, the closest relationships with us should be the mayor and our city council, commissioners and congressmen.

The role of democratic politics consists of two pillars: one is of ballots and the other is money. Both of them are essential and indispensable.

We as the Asian American community need to unite to protect our rights. The solution is that we must organize a political action committee. Today’s chaotic and uncertain political climate demands that we do it.
