Dear Friends,

I am pleased to have this opportunity to share my greetings on the occasion Falun Dafa Day and New Jersey Falun Dafa Month.

These celebrations will bring attention to the principles of Falun Dafa- truthfulness, benevolence, and forbearance. These universal rules of action are a guide for all right-thinking people and a recipe for a truly successful life.

As the Representative of the 12^th Congressional District in New Jersey, I count many Chinese-Americans among my constituents. At this time of celebration, it is important to keep in mind those practitioners of Falun Dafa who are denied the basic human right to practice their peaceful religion. I pledge to continue my efforts to raise awareness of the extent of this persecution and urge international cooperation in arriving at a solution.

I am sure you will enjoy the festivities and I wish I could be present to share it with you. Have a wonderful celebration!

Sincerely,

Rush Holt

Member of Congress
