House of Representatives
May 9, 2010
Dear New York Falun Dafa Practitioners:
I am writing to you to convey my strong support of New York Falun practitioners, as you gather together on Sunday, May 9, 2010, to participate in the 11th Annual Falun Dafa Day Celebration. My best wishes are with you as you commemorate the day Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) was first introduced to the public in China in 1992 and demonstrate your unity with Falun Dafa practitioners in China, who suffer repression and discrimination because of their beliefs.
As a member of Congress representing the 14th Congressional District, I congratulate you on your hard work, which resulted last month in the near-unanimous passage of House Resolution 605, I was proud to support the resolution that expresses sympathy for Falun Gong practitioners, who have suffered for their personal beliefs and calls upon the Chinese government to end its persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
I send to all of you my sincere greetings and best wishes for your celebration and for the cause for which you fight. I sincerely hope that very soon your brothers and sisters in China will be able to enjoy the freedom to practice their beliefs.
Sincerely,
Carolyn B. Maloney
Member of Congress
