Dear\r\nAmerican,\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

For\r\nmyself and for the China Support Network, let me introduce you to our amazing,\r\nurgent, and outrageous situation, which we suddenly face.\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We\r\nare suddenly campaigning for China to lose its host status for the 2008 Olympic\r\ngames. These were scheduled to go to Beijing, and there is a new \"smoking\r\ngun\" outrage which is so large, it requires, calls for, and demands\r\nremoving the Olympic name off of this Chinese abuse.\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A\r\nChinese crackdown on human rights is always revolting -- but now, the Communists\r\nwent too far and crossed a line, in naming the Olympics as the pretext and\r\nreason for a crackdown -- in top secret Chinese government orders, with the\r\nOlympics' name on them. The orders came to light this month. Now, there is a\r\ncrackdown campaign to abuse Chinese human rights, in the name of the Olympics.\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The\r\nChinese Communists should not be using the Olympic name as an excuse for their\r\nvile practices of gross, flagrant violation of people. It is an absolute misuse\r\nand debasement of the meaning of the Olympics.\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Chinese\r\npeople, such as practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual movement, should not\r\nsuffer more because of the Olympics. There should be no extra death, torture, or\r\nincarceration because of the Olympics!\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The\r\nmore you read about this, the more offensive it gets. I have written the\r\narticle, \"Olympic Misbehavior From China,\" about this matter, and it\r\nis inserted at the end of this letter.\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Can\r\nwe remove the Olympics from China, and do the right thing? This is an achievable\r\nobjective, and we are appealing for your help.\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Hosting\r\nthe Olympics is a privilege, not a right. Also, it is important to protect the\r\n\"brand name\" of the Olympics. Any marketing manager would say,\r\n\"get our brand name off of that torture and tyranny.\" We believe, the\r\nInternational Olympic Committee can be brought to see matters the same way.\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n
