Vietnam
Human Rights Act of 2011 - Prohibits U.S. nonhumanitarian assistance to
the government of Vietnam in excess of FY2011 amounts unless:
(1)
the federal government provides assistance, in addition to democracy
building assistance under this Act, supporting human rights training,
civil society building, and exchange programs between the Vietnamese
National Assembly and Congress at levels commensurate with or exceeding
any increases in nonhumanitarian assistance to Vietnam; and
(2)
the President certifies to Congress that the government of Vietnam has
made substantial progress respecting political, media, and religious
freedoms, minority rights, access to U.S. refugee programs, and actions
to end trafficking in persons and the release of political prisoners.
Authorizes
the President to waive such requirements if increased U.S.
nonhumanitarian assistance would promote the purposes of this Act or is
otherwise in the U.S. national interest.
Authorizes
the President to provide U.S. assistance through appropriate
nongovernmental organizations and the Human Rights Defenders Fund for
the support of individuals and organizations to promote human rights in
Vietnam. Declares it is U.S. policy:
(1) to take measures to overcome the jamming of Radio Free Asia by the government of Vietnam, and
(2) that educational and cultural exchange programs with Vietnam should promote progress toward democracy.
Declares
it is U.S. policy to offer refugee resettlement to Vietnam nationals
(including members of the Montagnard ethnic minority groups) who were
eligible for the Humanitarian Resettlement program, the Orderly
Departure program, the Resettlement Opportunities for Vietnamese
Returnees program, the Amerasian Homecoming Act of 1988, or any other
U.S. refugee program, but who were deemed ineligible for reasons of
administrative error or who failed to apply because of circumstances
beyond their control.

Có 4 phương cách để vận động. Không thể nói cách nào hay nhất. Thông thường khi gởi bằng bưu điện thì nghiêm trọng hơn nhưng tốn nhiều thời gian hơn bởi vì lá thư của quý vị cần phải được khám nghiệm trước khi trao đến tay dân biểu, có khi cả tháng mới họ mới nhận được. Khi thời gian cấp bách nên dùng Fax hay Email. Nếu dùng phone sẽ ít khi được nói chuyện trực tiếp với dân biểu mà chỉ nhắn tin lại qua một nhan viên của họ. Quý vị bấm vào khung hình phía dưới lựa chọn phương cách thích hợp với mình:
1. Email:
“COPY” và “PASTE” lá thư này vào email để gởi đến TNS của tiểu bang mình:
Re: H.R. 1410, Vietnam Human Rights Act of 2011
Dear Senator,
I am a constituent from your state and a human rights advocate. I would like to express my strong support for H.R.1410, Vietnam Human Rights Act 2012. This bill is the first step toward freedom and democracy for Vietnam.
Vietnam has taken the place of Burma as the worst violator of human rights in South East Asia. In its 2012 World Report, The Human Rights Watch reported that the Vietnamese government “systematically suppresses freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly”. HRW alarmed Vietnam’s crackdown against political dissidents. According to Reporter without Borders, Vietnam ranked 172th out of 179 countries in Press Freedom Index 2011/2012, many illegal arrests were made in Vietnam in 2011. United Nations independent experts who visited Vietnam in 2010 reported their findings. They urged the government to implement major human right treaties including the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment. Recently, Senator John Mc Cain and Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell stated that Hanoi must improve on human rights before the US can consider selling it military hardware.
Our relationship with Vietnam continues to grow closer but Vietnam’s Human Rights records has been deteriorating. On March 8, 2012, Vietnamese Americans and human rights advocate have expressed their concerns by a petition to the White House. This petition achieved a record of 150, 000 signatures within a month.
I urge you to support H.R. 1410. I hope that you will email me your opinion and your position on this important issue.
Sincerely yours,
Your Name.
