| Dear GA & Alpha-la members Korean community had a fundraiser for Mr. Tom Lantos Saturday 16th. Initially, we were told this should NOT be a strict HR 121 event, but a community event to support Lantos in which HR121 could be raised during the Q&A session. so, I was not able to share this event with ALPHA-LA, sorry. The event was a great success, as you probably know from other media source. It is the first time, Lantos specificaly mentioned in public: "I will present the HR121 to my committee on June 26th, and I expect it will pass by a substantial margin. He expressed his strong commitment, It is my responsibility to manage this bill within the House of Representatives and it is my previledge. http://www.rnrc.org/Lantos-on-HRes121_061607.htm Ignatius, thanks for making a quick video clip from Annabel's YouTube posting. please see more photos. The title of the event was "Lantos for Congress- champion of human rights" Not only he is the only survivor of Holocaust within the U.S. congress, He shared a story that he was arrested by Washington DC police when he tried to deliver thousands of birthday cards for A-ung-san Susie (the Barmese woman activist, not sure of the spelling) at Burmese embassy. In terms of Money, we tried to manage this event at a minimum possible cost. Daniel Lee in Cal coalition negotiated with Lantos' fundraising staff to $20,000. However, the fund raised on site was more than $30,000. So everybody was happy. The two little girls dressed in Korean costume (my idea) melted Lantos couple's heart immediately upon the couple's arrival. The first thing he said, "Annette and I have 17 grand children, we like children very much. I feel at home. I will make an informal speech today." so, the flower giving children worked far better than what Japanese did for Mr. and Mrs. Lantos--- the former Kamikaje solldier conducting an artificial tea ceremony. The audience raised him a arismathic question: "how did you get 17 grand children out of 2 daughters??"
