Dear Master Li Hongzhi:

I would like to offer my best wishes to you and all the Falun Dafa practitioners participating in the 15 Day Long Walk to Washington D.C.

It is an honor to have you pass through the City of Elizabeth on your crusade to raise awareness of the two-year persecution of Falun Dafa in China. Falun Dafa's principles and teachings of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance have inspired many people around the world. I commend you for your commitment to improving health in mind, body and spirit.

Again I extend my best wishes for success in the 15 Day Long Walk to Washington D.C. If I can ever be of assistance please do not hesitate to call my office.

Sincerely,

Chris Bollwage

Mayor
