<title>Comment by Montagnards in Greensboro (August 8, 2009, 22:57:08)</title>

<description>We, the DEGA(Montagnard) people, now living free in The United States of America implore you to help us stop the killing, torture, imprisonment and medical experiments that have been the plight of our people living in the Central Highlands of Vietnam since the Vietnam war ended for The United States in 1973. Since our people fought for The United States along side of your Special forces troops, we have been target of genocide by the Vietnam government. Your passing of H.R.1969 and S1159 will bring the HUMAN RIGHT ISSUES of all oppressed people in Southeast Asia. We pray you understand the importance of these bills....</description>

<description>Please support H.R. 1969 and help my people so they do not all suffer and die in our homeland. My people are the Montagnards (Dega) who have lived in the mountains of Vietnam.

They lived there simply and peacefully for thousands of years. When Americans came to our land to fight a war, we joined them as warriors and nurses. During the war many Montagnards died.

After the war many many more died. Some died from bullets, but even more from starvation and torture. My people were killed because we made Americans our friends. Only very few Montagnards have made it to freedom and there are only a few left in Vietnam because they have been killed. 

Help those that are left to live like people with life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Help them be able to leave Vietnam or live there are people.

Years ago we were there to help you, now people be here to help us. Please support H.R. 1969.



Sincerely,...</description>

<description>Vietnam Human Rights Acts of 2009 sends a clear message to the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam that its human rights violation remains a serious concern.  As your constituent, I respectfully request for your support of the Vietnam Human Rights Act of 2009 - S. 1159, by becoming a co-sponsor of this bill and urge your colleagues in the Foreign Relations Committee to vote for this important bill.  Your support will build a strong foundation for the young democracy movement in Vietnam, and it shows that the U.S. Senate values the human rights of all people worldwide.

Sincerely,
Mai Le...</description>

<description>I write to request you to become a co-sponsor of the Vietnam Human Rights Act of 2009 - S. 1159, and to urge your colleagues in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to vote for this important bill.

Human rights are clearly at risk in Vietnam.  The Vietnam government uses ambiguous decrees, such as Article 88 of the Penal Code, to criminalize 
political speech and all other forms of peaceful oppositions....</description>

<description>Citizens have no rights to exercise free speech and peacefully express their views in Vietnam. There's an ongoing pattern of harassment and abuse, including imprisonment, even tortured of human rights, labor, religion and democracy activists. The Vietnamese government is flouting its international commitments on human rights by launching one of the worst crackdowns on peaceful dissidents. Human Rights and Democracy for Vietnam!...</description>
