I call upon all City Council members in NY to support this resolution once it is introduced. The eyes of the world, the eyes of the Tibetan people and the eyes of all New Yorkers will be watching to see if the City Council does the right thing.

All those who support truth, justice & human rights will support this resolution. To oppose this resolution would be a shameful act which will give China a propaganda tool to use to justify its occupation of Tibet & its gross human rights violations in Tibet.

China is using the Olympic Games as a political weapon to oppress Tibetans, Chinese, ethnic minorities, democracy activists, dissidents & falun gong followers. Since PRC citizens are prohibited from protesting against the Chinese Gov't, it's up to the rest of us to stand up in defense of the people in China & Tibet.

This resolution will send a strong message to the Chinese communist Gov't that it must halt its oppression of the Tibetan & stop the genocide against Tibetan religion & culture. The IOC should withdraw the Games from Beijing until China finally lives up to int'l standards of behavior.
