To: The Practitioners of Falun Gong

Please accept my sincere and warm regards and my fervent hope that your freedom to pursue your chosen path will be respected. I regret that you have faced such persecution and prejudice that your members have not been free to practice. You are fortunate to have the support of Congressman Lantos and Amnesty International. This advocacy should be clear sign to all that you are worthy of our support in your earnest pursuit of freedom against determined opposition. Please know that you have my good wishes.
