We wrote a petition letter to our Wisconsin Congressmen, asking them to do everything they can to support Falun Gong practitioners; then we collected signatures on it. We then sent the letter together with those signatures to our Congressional representatives. The following letter is a response from a Wisconsin Congressman to a person (not a practitioner) who signed the petition. The person sent the letter to us to show his encouragement and support for our clarifying the truth to people.
We contacted our Congressional representatives because they have a natural ability to raise people's awareness of the persecution suffered by Falun Gong practitioners in Mainland China. With regard to what they want to do to support Falun Gong practitioners, however, that is their own individual decision. Falun Gong and Falun Gong practitioners do not have any political agenda.
