親愛的 Zhenying ,

上個星期，我們為美國1882當年的排華法案，創實了一個非常重要的里程碑。那就是我向國會提表的法案，H. RES 683成功的得到國會眾議院共同的決議! 作為美國第一位華裔聯邦女眾議員，我對能見證這條法案在美國眾議院獲得一致的通過感到非常的自豪。特別是現在，我們更可以慶祝本決議順利通過參議和眾議兩院的事實！觀看這一歷史性的時刻，請點擊此鏈接：http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVEKx9um_jY&feature=youtu.be 

此決議並也得到了全美新聞媒體的關注！這裡有一些報導片段：

"排華案" 在60年之久後的今天才被廢除，它不僅僅分裂了許多家庭也對很多美籍華裔的後代留下永久不滅的疤痕和創傷。當初，這些華裔美國人並沒有歸化成美國公民的合法權利，並被規定必須在任何時候隨身攜帶他們的居留證明，不然就會被強行驅逐出境。我自己的祖父也是此法律的受害者。

 我提表的法案裡明確的要求美國國會對這些華裔美國人所受到的不平等待遇表示由衷遺憾。這法案重申美國這國家的成立是建立於人人平等的原則上。

 雖然這項決議讓我們為所有的人爭取平等權益的道路上更向前邁進一步，但我們的工作還並沒有結束。我會繼續對抗任何社會上的不公正和盡我所能保護各個社區居民的基本權利。不過，我需要您的幫助。在第二籌款季度裡，星期六6月30日2012年午夜結束之前，我們希望展現出最強大的籌款實力。我是否能獲得到你的支持及貢獻呢？

 捐贈50元，100元，250元，500元或被允許的最大捐贈值，請點擊這裡：http://www.judychu.org/donate.php。我真誠的希望我能擁有您的慷慨支助，這樣我們才能確保我可以繼續成功連任國會議員一職來為您服務！

Dear Zhenying,

Last week, we achieved a major milestone on my resolution of regret for the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, H. Res 683. As the first Chinese American Congresswoman, I was very proud to witness the bill pass unanimously in the House of Representatives. Now, we can celebrate the fact that this resolution passed both the Senate and House unanimously!

The resolution also got national press coverage! Here's are some clips:

My resolution finally acknowledges and expresses regret for these injustices towards people of Chinese origin in the United States. It recognizes that America was founded on the principle that all persons are created equal.

Although this resolution is another step forward on our path to equal rights for all people, our work is far from over. I will continue to fight against social injustices and protect the civil rights of all communities, but I need your help.

Dear Zhenying,

We do everything we can for our kids. We work hard to make sure that they have a future filled with more opportunity than we had. We encourage them to go to college, develop their skill sets, pursue a career they love, and thrive as independent adults.

Tomorrow, I am going to cast a critical vote to keep student loan interest rates low. Student loan debt has already hit $1 trillion and growing. If Congress fails to act, student loan interest rates will double on July 1st.

As a former college professor, I've seen first hand how hard our students work to achieve their academic goals and the sacrifice their families make to send them to college.

But with college tuition rising at a rate four times faster than inflation, and the threat of interest rates doubling, a college degree is in danger of becoming a luxury that working and middle class families cannot afford. We can't let this happen.

Fighting to make sure that all students and families can afford a college education is a top priority for me in Congress - and always will be.

I'm running for re-election because I have a passion for education and I need your support to keep my voice strong in Congress. Can I count on you to click here and make a contribution of $50, $100, $250, $500 or whatever you can afford? 

I was raised to believe that if you play by the rules and work hard, you earn your shot at the American dream. It's why I fight so hard to make college affordable for every family, because without access to higher education, the American Dream will leave millions of families behind.  

In friendship, 

Judy Chu

Member of Congress
