美国国会今天以410票赞成、21票弃权、1票无效，通过了敦促中国政府释放刘晓波的决议案。这项表决发生在中国政府庆祝建国六十年的10月1日，自然也格外具有意义。爱达荷州议员密尼克是此提案的发起人。独立中文笔会的会长郑义和理事廖天琪于9月16日在美国笔会的陪同下曾跟密尼克议员见面会谈，并且提出希望能尽快将当时还是“悬着”的议案尽快推动，现在终于在中国的国庆纪念日这一天通过了。
密尼克议员说，对他个人来说，刘晓波是很有启发力量的，他督促爱达荷州的青年学生们都来为刘晓波的自由作出努力。他也要求刘晓波能有自己的律师，同时国际的新闻社应当被允许参与对他审判的报道。
“刘晓波的勇气代表了全球的共识，所有的人都应当享有言论自由，有权利要求自己的国家由真正的民选代表来管理。”密尼克说。

（支聯會二零零九年十月一日宣言）
今天，是中共建政的六十周年。這六十年，是中國人民飽受苦難的歷史。
在建政前，中共以民主、自由、繁榮、富強的承諾，欺騙了千千萬萬愛國者為其擲頭顱灑熱血。建政後，頭三十年，階級鬥爭為綱，政治運動頻仍，慘酷悽烈；經濟冒進失誤，赤地千里，餓殍遍野。接著的十年，雖以經濟建設為中心，推行經濟改革，但仍堅持獨裁專政，更多次反對自由化，打壓人民訴求，導致胡耀邦、趙紫陽下台，終於發生了「六四」的血腥鎮壓。「六四」後的二十年，貪污腐敗空前猖獗，貧富兩端極為分化，弱勢社群備受欺榨，道德倫理淪亡殆盡，維權和異見人士被拘入獄，全國籠罩白色恐怖，人權蕩然。雖然經濟有所發展，但十三億人民仍在水深火熱中。這樣，有甚麼值得慶祝呢？
民主、自由、繁榮、富強的理想，還遙遙在前，有待奮鬥去實現。其中最急切的，就是要讓十三億人民都享有人權，讓中國人民都能夠真正站起來，具有做人的尊嚴！我們最迫切的要求如下：
一． 釋放被捕維權和異見人士；
二． 落實已簽署的《公民權利和政治權利國際公約》；
三． 確保法治、新聞言論自由；
四． 反對貪污腐敗。
民主萬歲！自由萬歲！人權萬歲！法治萬歲！人民力量萬歲！ 釋放維權人士！釋放異見人士！
釋放民運人士！平反八九民運！追究屠城責任！結束一黨專政！建設民主中國！
Six decades and where are human rights?
Have the Chinese people stood up?
October 1, 2009
Today is the 60th anniversary of Chinese Communist Party rule. These 60 years have been a history of suffering for the Chinese people.
Before it came to power, the CCP tricked thousands of patriots into offering their lives with promises of democracy, freedom and prosperity. After itcame to power, class struggle was its guiding principle for the first 30 years of its rule. Political campaigns were constant. There was brutalityand deprivation. The economy was seriously mismanaged. Across the country, fields were scattered with the bodies of the victims of starvation. Then from 1979, developing the economy became the focus. The Party carried out economic reform, but dictatorship persisted. The Party repeatedly opposed freedom and suppressed people’s demands, forcing Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang to step down and eventually executing the bloody crackdown of June 4, 1989. In the 20 years since June 4, there has been unprecedented rampant corruption and increasingly acute income inequality between rich and poor. The weaker members of society suffer intimidation and deception. Ethics have been so subjugated as to damage the moral fabric of society. Rights activists and dissidents are imprisoned. The whole country suffers political repression. Human rights are swept away. Although the economy has seen some development, 1.3 billion people still live under one-party dictatorship. Given this situation, what is there to celebrate?
The ideals of democacy, freedom and prosperity remain distant. Tremendous effort is needed in order to realize them. The most urgent priority is to allow all of China’s 1.3 billion people to enjoy their human rights. This would enable the Chinese people to fully stand up and have true human dignity. With this in mind, our most pressing demands are the following:
1) Release the imprisoned rights activists and dissidents.
2) Ratify and implement the already-signed International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
3) Guarantee the rule of law, freedom of expression and freedom of the media.
4) Oppose corruption.
Long live democracy! Long live freedom! Long live human rights!Long live rule of law! Long live the power of the people!
Free the dissidents! Vindicate the 1989 democracy movement!Investigate those responsible for the June 4 massacre! End one-party rule!
Build a democratic China! (博讯记者：蔡楚)
