(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Shelley Berkley, a Congresswoman from the state of Nevada is not only the co-initiator of two resolutions regarding Falun Gong in the United States Congress, but she also has expressed on many occasions her support for Falun Gong practitioners' peaceful appeals.

On an occasion in which Congresswoman Berkley delivered a public speech, Falun Gong practitioners from Las Vegas especially attended the meeting and presented fresh flowers and a letter to her to express their appreciation for her support for justice. After the meeting, Congresswoman Berkley kindly received the practitioners and modestly said that she only did what she was supposed to do and practitioners need not have thanked her. She also warmly encouraged the practitioners: "We understand you and support you. Keep going, your journey is very valuable."
