Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus and his proclamation
“Falun Dafa transcends cultural and racial boundaries and contributes to the universal dream of a peaceful, tolerant, and more compassionate society,” the proclamation reads.
“More men and women ... are learning the practice and purifying their hearts energizing their bodies, and striving to create virtuous communities;”
“Falun Dafa practitioners in Orange County, New York, note stress reduction, health improvement and spiritual growth;”
“Numerous practitioners of Falun Dafa are persecuted in China for their teachings;”
“Falun Dafa practitioners’ determination and courage to stand up for Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance while facing severe persecution from the Chinese Communist Party has shown the world the value of life and the preciousness of human dignity;”
“On March 16, 2010, the US House of Representatives passed House Resolution 605 urging the Chinese Communist Party to end its decade-long campaign against Falun Dafa and expressing solidarity with victims of persecution in China.”
