Thank you ...

... for inviting me to attend the SOS Walk Across Michigan for Justice. I regret that I am unable to be with you.

I am impressed by the continued peaceful demonstration of Falun Gong in the face of such great human rights abuses by the Government of the People's Republic of China. I will continue to work to advance acceptance of different religions, lifestyles and activities and promote human rights.

I offer you my best wishes for a successful and memorable event.

Sincerely,

á
