~ CIC Demands Investigation into Pro-China Bribery ~
CIC members visited Capitol Hill on May 23rd and urged undecided
Congressmen to vote "no" on PNTR to China. In a symbolic
message, CIC distributed chopsticks bearing Chinese lettering, bound together with a small white flag at the ends, and accompanied with a flyer reading: "Please don't surrender to the Red China lobby! Please don't cower to the Clinton White House!" While CIC was successful in helping persuade a few Representatives to vote against H.R. 4444, it wasn't enough to sway those Republicans and Democrats who acted as lackeys for pro-communist China forces. One brave opponent of PNTR, Rep. Merrill Cook (R-UT), has publicly denounced a "bribe" of $200,000 offered to him from the Red China lobby if he switched his vote. "It is an outrage that congressional votes were trying to be bought so blatantly," says CIC's Jack Clayton. "This is criminal influence peddling and there needs to be an investigation." CIC is demanding a bi-partisan inquiry by
the House Ethics Committee, and CIC is also asking all its supporters to contact the committee at:
202-225-7103, Fax 202-225-7392 and E-Mail at tx21@legislators.com . |
