美东河南同乡会、美国河南总商会以及北美郑州大学校友会8日在法拉盛举办「美东河南同乡万人签名支持孟昭文竞选国会议员」记者会,呼吁河南乡亲和各界侨胞每人捐出10元,助「美孟(梦)成真」!三个社团订製了六个募款箱,从本周开始,每周日在法拉盛的六个地点为孟昭文收集签名并募款,直到10月28日或达成万人签名目标为止。
河南同乡会强调,募款将严格依照法定程序,由专业竞选财务公司现场收取,所有捐款由孟昭文竞选团队专责募款人员全程配合,10元开始,上限5000元。捐款者要按政府要求填写有关捐款表格,最好用支票付款,100元以下可用现金。捐款将统一向社会公布,可以网上查询。美东河南同乡会会长苏殿奎表示,「孟昭文是华人移民第二代,因在纽约州议会中卓越表现、关心社区以及良好的群众基础,让她在6月26日的初选中脱颖而出。孟昭文的母亲祖籍为河南,作为同乡,一定要全力支持孟昭文进军国会。10元不算多,但情深仁义重,尽显万众一条心」。河南同乡会副理事长薛纯阳表示,「募款本身不是目的,而是希望这个活动能够引起大家共鸣,团结起来支持孟昭文。竞选国会议员不是孟昭文一个人的事,是整个社区的事。东岸需要一位亚裔作为民意代表进入联邦。」活动总策画、河南同乡会副理事长李熙庆表示,「孟昭文曾任河南同乡会名誉会长,并给予美东河南侨胞很多支持。

河南同乡应该站出来为孟昭文加油打气,也向主流社会展示华人的强大力量。10元可以随时有,但是华人的竞选机会很难得」。六个活动地点为法拉盛图书馆旁的人人小馆门口、新世界商城的罗斯福大道入口、法拉盛购物中心门前大厅、黄金商场内的河南烩麵馆、百利大厦对面的河南风味餐厅以及66海之味餐厅。时间为12日起至10月28日的每个周日上午10时至下午4时。

活動於12日上午在法拉盛圖書館前正式開跑,為孟昭文募款及徵集簽名,人氣最旺的圖書館募款攤位,不到兩小時便已蒐集近百簽名。

美東河南同鄉會會長蘇殿奎表示,孟昭文的母親祖籍河南新鄭,而做為河南的女兒,孟昭文多年熱心協助鄉親。116日的普選是送孟昭文進國會的關鍵之戰,三個社團,六個募款地點,希望每人捐十元,盡速完成萬人簽名的目標。「十塊錢每個人都有,但華人進入國會的機會卻不常有」。

 

苏殿奎、薛朝晶 、李熙庆、薛纯阳、蒲永黄理平熊宏涛、宋阿丽、马宏宝、刘霞、张富印、苏世江,曹立军、周涛、王中州、李治安、王强、于慧丽、张霖等组织并参加了活动。

孟昭文 Email to Li Xiqing:


Dear Xiqing,

The June 26 Democratic Primary Election in New York’s 6th Congressional District is just a week away, and Grace for New York has all the momentum.

We’ve raised $750,000 from over 650 individuals and run a robust, grassroots ground operation that has knocked on over 100,000 doors and made over 200,000 phone calls.  The New York Times and El Diario have endorsed us, joining dozens of elected officials, community leaders, and labor and advocacy organizations including Congressman Gary Ackerman, Congressman Joe Crowley and the Democratic Organization of Queens, Emily’s List, the United Federation of Teachers and the Hotel
Trades Council.

In the most significant and coveted endorsement in this race, The New York Times said, “Ms. Meng knows how to build bridges, but she is also prepared to fight.” El Diario – the Spanish-language newspaper of record in the Latino community, which accounts for nearly 15 percent of Democratic primary voters, called me “the best choice for Hispanics.”

The New York League of Conservation Voters, the Sierra Club, and Democracy for New York City have all lent their support in the last few weeks, and our campaign was recently joined by Hotel Trades Council political director Josh Gold. Josh, the architect of the union’s cutting-edge turnout operation – will oversee our Get Out the Vote Efforts, joining a veteran crew of political operatives and hundreds of dedicated volunteers and interns.

This campaign has all the momentum right now, but we’ll need your help to keep it going and ride this wave to a victory on June 26.

PLEASE MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TODAY.  Each dollar you can give brings us closer to victory on Tuesday.  You can contribute online or by calling my fundraising staff at (347) 841-6364.

We’ve identified thousands of voters who support our campaign. Now we need the funds to make sure they get to the polls. Help get us across the finish line on June 26 - we're almost there.

PS: Please contribute today, and help us WIN next TUESDAY, JUNE 26th!
