如何请求自己选区的美国联邦参议员和众议员谴责ABC电视台

最近美国ABC电视台播放的儿童提议杀光中国人以免除美国债务的节目，我们华人身在美国，一定要齐心协力，共同声讨。这种言论针对中国人，主持人和ABC广播公司都觉得风趣幽默，坦然播放。如果是针对犹太人或者黑人，ABC广播公司还会播放吗？

2002年，美国大选后，共和党人一举夺得参众两院控制权。参议员多数党领袖Trent Lott得意至极，在参议员Strom Thurmond的百岁生日晚会上说，当年Strom Thurmond竞选总统，我们为他投票，我们很自豪。如果他当年竞选美国总统成功，美国今天面临的很多问题现在就根本不会存在。1948年, Strom Thurmond是作为支持宗族隔离，反对民权法案的党派候选人参加总统竞选的。

就为了这句话，Trent Lott面临各界巨大压力，被迫辞去参议员多数党领袖，从此淡出国家政治台面。

今天，ABC广播公司悍然无视亿万中国人和百万美籍华人，播放含有此类言论的节目，可见根本不把华人放在眼里，我们如果不能做出强有力的回击，以后此类事会更多，更没有人会把华人放在眼里。

我建议，大家都给自己所在州的参议员和自己选区的众议员发信，或者发电子邮件，或者传真，请求他们发声支持我们，谴责ABC广播公司。谁响应我们，我们以后投票时自会考虑进去。

为了大家的方便，我草拟了一封简单的信，信后附加了参议员名单和地址链接，并附加了我们各自选区的众议员姓名和联系方法。希望各位稍微花些时间。Directory of U.S. House of Representatives: http://www.house.gov/representatives/

Address

Honorable Congressman/Senator XXX:

I am a Chinese American in your district in the State of XXX and I am writing to seek your support in our protest against the skit aired on ABC’s late-night talk show, which had a child suggesting that the U.S. should “kill everyone in China” to eliminate the U.S. national debt owed to China, in response to Jimmy Kimmel’s question on how the U.S. could resolve the $1.3 trillion debt owed to China.

Instead of immediately telling the child that it is wrong and immoral to even entertain such an idea, Jimmy Kimmel responded by saying that this was an interesting idea. While we understand the skit’s comic nature, we nevertheless find such remarks offensive and we especially find Jimmy Kimmel’s response and ABC’s decision to air the skit appalling and unacceptable by not only us Chinese Americans but indeed by any person of a good conscience regardless of the person’s race or origin.  

 

We Chinese Americans need you to take a stand on this matter which is of great important to us and we need you to speak out on our behalf in condemning such remarks and ABC’s airing of the skit. We hope we can count on you as our representative. We will continue to support you in any way we can and we wish you success in your upcoming election.

We thank you in advance for your efforts in helping us.

Sincerely yours,

XXX
