社评 0213 我们的怒火在继续燃烧之中

我看天下大小事，

我们的怒火在继续燃烧之中

為了抵制德州参议院提出中国公民不可购买土地案，华人社区在罗玲女士之组织号召下，週六上午数百位华亚裔人士结集在休斯敦中国城黄金广场前，举行示威游行并得到休斯敦地区三位国会众议员，市长特纳之热烈支持，他们在大会上指责共和党提出之恶法，将是德州之不幸，在大会上甚至有人洒泪会塲，令人动容。这也是我们首次有如此龎大之队伍，在百利大道上游行发出我们的怒吼。

但是我们在此热血沸腾之时刻过后，我们更要思考今后如何以实力说话，我们的建议还是从选票和钞票下功夫，美国政客们是否当选也决定於这两个因素，首先我们社区已经有选民委员会及一些政治团体，我们一定要以捐款及实际参与来表达我们支持之行动，我们更要学习犹他人，在美国是如何参政之途径，有钱出钱，有力出力。

今天华裔在美国社会之处境将愈趋严峻，主要是中美两大强权之矛盾是难予化解，华府政坛反华氛围日愈激烈，令人担忧。

我们在美国之华裔同胞，大家唯有团结起来，坚决反对一切反对华裔之法案，请千万记住：我们手中之选票和捐款，才是真正的力量。

Our Anger ContinuesTo Burn

In order to protest the Texas Senate’s proposed bill that would ban Chinese citizens from buying land in Texas, the Chinese community led by Ms. Lou Ling and many other leaders gathered last Saturday in front of the HMart grocery store in Chinatown. Hundreds of Chinese Americans marched down Bellaire Blvd. carrying signs of protest. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and three congressmen and a congresswoman were among the crowd of supporters saying that this evil bill should be overthrown, while some of the speakers were even openly shedding tears. The emotions were running very deep and it was all very touching. This was also the first time we have ever had such a large group of Chinese Americans marching in our community.

But after this hot- blooded moment, we should now think very carefully about how we can best help our people fight against this unfair law.
We really suggest two very important things: votes and money. We need to realize that all of the politicians depend on votes and donations to be elected. We must have a very strong organization to educate our people to let them know that unless we participate and take action, we will be out of the process and this bill will pass.

Today the relations between the United States and China face big challenges. The anti-China atmosphere in Washington politics is becoming more and more fierce and this is very worrying for all of us.

We as Chinese American citizens in this country need to get organized and united to fight for our constitutional rights. We must fight for justice today and for the future of our children tomorrow!
