Welcoming Letter to the Global Walk Team from Arkansas Congressman Vic Snyder

Vic Snyder
2^nd District, Arkansas

November 1, 2001

Dear Global RescueWalk Team Members:

I appreciate having this opportunity to welcome you to Arkansas and to acknowledge the important work that you are doing to expose the terrible human rights violations being suffered by your fellow Falun Gong practitioners in China. I commend your dedication to demanding an end to their brutal persecution by the Chinese government.

The free exercise of one's thought, conscience and religion is a fundamental human right. It is imperative that we who enjoy the unfettered freedom to practice our spiritual beliefs must continually work together to secure such liberty for all people.

Your message of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance is one that can be helpful to all during this time of crisis in America and in our world.

Sincerely,

Vic Snyder

Member of Congress
