我们的族裔联合阵线已刻不容缓

今天看到佛罗里达州参院全票通过禁止中国人购买土地案， 心中再次激起愤慨 ，预料此反华议案也会在德州通过。

这两个月来， 由联邦国会议员格林、 着名牧师佈道家狄克森和许多华亚裔社区领袖共同发起成立族裔联合阵线， 已经开过数次筹备会， 并且已决定五月十三日举行第二次族群群眾大会， 主要是抗议德州147 条法案，為华亚裔们伸张正义。

今天我们要特别呼吁华亚裔同胞们， 我们已经不能再沈默了。 这项禁止土地购买法案， 澈头澈尾是个反华裔之政治案件， 如果它们都在各州之眾议院通过 ，州长签署后生效， 可能就在七月一日生效。

我们试问， 长相都像华裔中国人的亚裔 ，如果我们要买土地得先证明你不是中国公民， 这难道不是歧视吗？

在几次筹备会中， 白先慎教授、 黄华女士都曾全程参与， 我们呼吁愿意加入队伍的华亚裔人士可以和我们连络， 尤其是五月十三日下午一时之群眾大会， 大家一定要踊跃参加， 详情即将在下週公告週知。

 Our Ethnic United Front Is Urgent And Cannot Wait

Today, after seeing the unanimous vote of the Florida Senate to prohibit the purchase of land by Chinese, we are once again aroused with indignation as well as determination to express our uncompromised disapproval of this action. It is expected that the anti-Chinese bill currently in Austin will also be passed in Texas.

Over the past two months, the establishment of the Ethnic United Front and the forming of a coalition in Houston Texas, was jointly initiated by U.S. Congressman Al Green, the famous pastor and evangelist Bishop Dixon, and many Chinese and Asian community leaders. Several preparatory meetings have since been held and it has been decided to hold the second ethnic group meeting on Saturday, May 13 at 1:00 pm. The mass meeting’s purpose is mainly to protest the Texas 147 bill again to achieve justice for all Chinese and Asians.

Today we would like to specifically appeal to all fellow Chinese and Asians. We can no longer be silent. This land purchase ban bill is totally discriminatory and anti-Chinese and a political case through and through.

If the bill passes in the House, then governor says he will sign it into law on July 1 of this year. In other words, any and all Asians who want to buy land in Texas, according to the law, will need to prove that they are not Chinese citizens because we all look like each other.

Let’s ask all Asians who all look like Chinese how they feel. If we want to buy land, you must first prove that you are not a Chinese citizen. Isn’t this discrimination?

In several preparatory meetings, Professor Bai Xianshen and Ms. Huang Hua have participated in the whole process. We appeal to all the Chinese and Asian communities who are willing to join the team to contact us and especially attend the meeting at 1:00 pm on May 13th. Everyone must actively participate. Additional details will be announced next week.
