我们共同创造新的歷史篇章


今天我们在美国德州休斯敦斯坦福中心举行群眾大会,结合华裔 、亚裔 、非裔、拉丁裔及主流社会之政商领袖,共同打造美国族裔联盟之大平台,这是美国歷史上首次族群大团结,更是我们走向团结才是力量争取政治权利之一大步。


今天站上族群大团结舞台上的有美国国会眾议员格林 、赵美心 、葛西亚 ,德州参议员惠特迈 、州议员雷诺 、福遍县长乔治、福遍郡长马柯 、哈里斯郡长艾利斯 、米苏里市市长阿拉克 、斯坦福市长威利斯 、斯坦福市华裔议员谭秋晴 、非裔全国联盟休斯敦主席狄克森、拉丁裔全国公民联合会会长莫巨克、休斯敦西南区区长李雄、中华文化中心执行长华啟梅、中国人活动中心执行长方一川、华裔全国联合会主席薛海培、律师林富桂 、休斯敦国际区区长李蔚华。


今天我们面对美国国内外政治情势之不断变化,华亚裔及少数族裔之前途面临空前之危机,而多半之政府及议会都撑握在少数政客手中,他们為所欲為,利用所谓国家安全理由来窃取政治上之红利。


美国宪法之立国精神是自由民主法治,多少年来,许多民权领袖為了社会之公平正义付出了鲜血和生命,我们今天在这块土地上安身立命,决不能葬送了自己公民之权力。


今天我们要非常慎重的宣佈 「美国少数族裔政治联盟」在德州休斯敦正式开跑 ,也要呼吁全国各地之华亚裔同胞倣照此模式 ,在全国各大城市发起群眾来反抗一些不合理之法案 ,这是我们当全唯一争取合法权益之途径。


We Are Creating A New Chapter In Our History Together 


Today all of us joined together in support of the big rally at Stafford Center in Stafford, Texas. We have  combined Chinese, Asian, African American and Latino communities together along with political leaders from national, state and local governments to build an history making platform for an American Ethnic Alliance.


This is the first time in American history that we as ethnic citizens are all moving toward one goal and are united together in one strong front to fight for our political rights.


On the stage of ethnic unity today are U.S. Congressman Al Green, Sylvia Garcia, Texas State Senator John Whitmire. Texas State Representative Gene Wu, Ron Reynolds Fort Bend,  County Judge KP George, Commissioner Grady Prestage, Dexter McCoy, 

Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis,

Stafford Mayor Cecil Willis, Missouri City Mayor Rubin Elackatt,


Stafford City Councilwoman Alice Chen, NAACP Houston Chapter Chair Bishop James Dixon,   

LULAC Chair Hugo Monica,   

Attorney Dawn Lin,

Southwest District Chair Kenneth Li,

Chinese Community Center CEO Chi-Mei Lin, Chinese Civic Center President Yichuan Fan,  

United Chinese Americans President Haipei Shue and 

International District Chair Wea Lee.


Today we are facing the changing political and economic situation both at home and abroad. Asian Chinese and ethnic minorities are also facing an unprecedented crisis and most of the political power is in the hands of a very few politicians. They do whatever they want and use national security reasons as an excuse to steal political dividends.


The founding fathers of our country created a constitution for a free democracy and the rule of law. Over the years, many civil rights leaders have paid with their blood and their very lives in the fight for equal justice for all people across all the diverse layers of society.


 


At today's event, we are so happy that we have formed the “American Ethnic Political Alliance” in Houston, Texas. Together we will hold hands and go forward to fight for the legitimate rights for all people.
