Call for Action from the Hmong Community in Sacramento
Dear Friends,
Doctors without Borders has pulled out of Thailand leaving 5,000 Hmong hopeless, starving, dehydrated and ill. Please spread the word to your families, friends, and neighbors and ask them to call the White House to pressure the Thai government to stop the humanitarian crisis, to stop the forced repatriation and resettlement of the Hmong to third countries.
Our Hmong familiies are in desperate need of help from the International Community.
The calling campaign will start on Monday June 1 to Friday June 5, 2009. Our goal is to deliver at least 500-1000 messages to the White House so they will pay attention to the crisis in Thailand.
Below is the phone script and phone # to the White House. Also listed below is the Press Release from Doctors Without Borders reaching out to the International Community for help for the Hmong in Thailand. Our fellow Hmong brothers and sisters deserve respect and dignity here and abroad.
Please help the Hmong community and their families who live in Thailand and Laos by calling the White House this week. Thank you for any help you can provide. It will be sincerely appreciated.
Pao Vang

Sentence to be corrected: “…resettle the Hmong in the United States and other third countries”
Correction: eliminate “…and other third countries” from the script and eliminate “As a Hmong-American” as appropriate
