FOFG Exec Director's Letter To House Majority Leader: Bring H.R. 281 To A Vote
FOFG Exec Director's Letter To House Majority Leader: Bring H.R. 281 To A Vote
Twenty seven years ago, President Reagan stood in Berlin and challenged Gorbachev to "tear
down this wall." His words are now immortalized, but in the moments leading up to the speech,
Reagan's national security staff and cabinet implored him not to utter them, arguing that it was
too bold and provocative.
The President told his deputy chief of staff that he was determined. "The boys at State are going
to kill me," he said, "but it's the right thing to do."
It was indeed the right thing, and two years later, the wall did come down.
Today, House Resolution 281 can help save many innocent lives and end a modern-day atrocity
in China.
Majority Leader McCarthy, you have a great opportunity to champion the cause for human rights
and to let Americans and their representatives speak on this important issue by scheduling a vote
on House Resolution 281.
Thank you!
Respectfully yours,
Alan Adler
Executive Director
