ORDER 36

WHEREAS, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is an un-democratic, one-party

system of government with dictatorial powers centralized in the Vietnamese
Communist Party (VCP). The same VCP’s Politburo is currently the judicial,
legislative, and executive arms of the VCP that created, coordinated, and
implemented VCP’s Politburo Executive Order 36 plan of dissemination since 2004;
and

WHEREAS, the VCP’s Politburo Executive Order 36 has wrongfully and

maliciously assumes that all overseas Vietnamese are an inseparable part of
Vietnam, ripe for exploitative purposes in areas of material and human resources in
fields of economics, industry, arts, science, culture, and education.

WHEREAS, the VCP’s Politburo Executive Order 36 calls for direct

confrontations and active conflicts against any and all overseas entities that goes
against its intentions and interests; and

WHEREAS, the VCP’s Politburo Executive Order 36 calls for the rallying of
worldwide intellectuals, business leaders, youths and students back to Vietnam to
serve the purpose of forceful unification of worldwide Vietnamese with the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam; and

WHEREAS, the majority of Vietnamese Americans, including those residing in

the City of Garden Grove, home to the largest Vietnamese community in the world
outside of Vietnam, are refugees as a result of communist persecution by the same
Vietnamese communist government that continues to commit human rights
violations, religious oppression, and persecution of ethnic minorities; and

WHEREAS, Vietnamese Americans are an inseparable part of the United

States of America, with a unique heritage and identity, irreconcilable with the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam and that the majority of our populace rigorously
rejects the cultivation and colonizing efforts of Vietnam as a foreign power preying
upon our communities; and

WHEREAS, the implementin g of the VCP’s Politburo Order 36, particularly its
directive to fight all those who do not conform to their intentions and interests has
resulted in the disruption of our domestic tranquility, threatened the security and
livelihood of our communities, and diverted our resources to Vietnam when they
should be utilized for community-building in America.
