Guest guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 URGENT, MORE CONTACTS TO STOP WHALING. Dear Caring friend, While Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Tsutomu Takebe came to U.S. to promote its shameless whaling , (http://biz./prnews/010706/nef007.html ) Let's send more letters to the cabinet members : The SAMPLE LETTER and CONTACT INFORMATION are followed. You may write your own letter if you wish. Please don't forget to enclose all of the References too. Please put your NAME, ADDRESS at the Beginning of the letter too if you send by emails to get better results. Better to CALL/FAX them. We urge you to send this letter twice in the period of one week. just in case ! Thanks for your caring and urgent help. ======================================= SAMPLE LETTER : FROM: Your name, Address, City , State, Country U.S. Constituents. SUBJECT : Please Co-Sponsor: H CON RES 180, the anti Whaling Resolution. Please provide " POLICING POWER " to protect whales in the un-protected open oceans against whaling. Dear Honorable Secretary of Commerce , Japan's Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries, Tsutomu Takebe, is in Washington now for a three days visit to promote the killing of the world's largest sentient animals on earth---WHALES. ( http://biz./prnews/010706/nef007.html ) I'm strongly urging you : 1: Please Co-Sponsor H CON RES 180, the anti Whaling Resolution. 2: Please impose major trade sanctions on Japanese whaling. 3: Please provide " POLICING POWER " to protect whales in all of the unprotected open oceans against whaling activities. 4: Please urge all IWC Representatives to oppose RMS(Revised Management Scheme) in all of IWC meetings starting from July 23.2001. On June 26, 2001, the US House introduced the Whaling Resolution : H. Con Res 180 from Congressman William Delahunt(D-MA), Wayne Gilchest (R-MD), George Miller (D-CA) and Chris Smith (R-NJ). A Senate version of the Whaling Resolution, S Con Res 121, was also introduced on June 28, 2001 by Senator John Kerry (D-MA). Please click : http://www.house.gov/georgemiller/rel62501.html (see Reference # 1 ) On June 28, 2001, the United States Senate with ALL Parties strong support sent a letter to President Bush to urge him to take tough actions against Japanese whaling on the eve of Japanese prime minister visiting President Bush.(June 30, 2001). On June 26, 2001, the Poll shows a wide majority of American voters are opposed to commercial whaling by Japan and Norway . 83 percent of American voter were opposed to the killing of whales. Republican pollster Fred Steeper of Market Strategies, Inc. conducted the survey in May. Steeper said : " What impressed me is that the results cut across age, gender, regional and party lines. They cut across all major demographic groups - Democrats and Republicans. " Despite a worldwide ban on commercial whaling, Japan and Norway both are killing 1000 whales a year. Japan not only kills massive number of whales under disguise of the " scientific whaling " IWC loophole but also it is bribing many of the other countries to kill whales. Norway simply ignores the moratorium imposed by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 1986. Both countries are currently greatly killing whales, Japan in the northwest Pacific Ocean and Norway in the northern Atlantic. Japan is also world's biggest killer on dolphins. (see Refererence # 11 ) On June 30, while the anti Japanese whaling actions going on from U.S. Congress, Japan suddenly released a story while its Prime Minister just arrived in U.S. saying that US Serviceman raped one Japanese woman in Okinawa. The US Serviceman denied any wrong doings and insisted that he had consensual sex with the woman. (see Reference # 8) Many intelligent analysts suspected the shameless Japanese Whaling industry had purposely " set the trap " for the U.S. seviceman in the attempt to embarrass the United States while US Congress accusing Japan's sadistic, ruthless whaling activities and further to " silent " the US objection and interference on Japanese attempt to legalize the World Commercial Whaling in this coming IWC meeting just a few days from now ! Japan is now using " ALL OUT EFFORTS " to send all its Government top officials to the United States to strengthen the " relationship " with the US on the surface, right before the IWC meeting on July 23-27. Many intelligent Americans predicted the Japanese whaling industry's " spy " network had far reaching influences. Japan had spent more than 70 million dollars in Caribbean Island countries in the attempt to bring them to IWC to vote in Japanese favor to legalize the World Commercial whaling . They now are bribing and buying the countries in Africa too! Many countries will join IWC to vote for commerical whaling due to Japanese government continuous bribing and threatening. (see Reference # 3, # 9 ). Many concerned Americans have been suspecting that the Japanese whaling industry's " Money " bribing have already reached many of the major U.S. media in the attempt to " silent " US media on Japanese cruel whaling issues. Japanese Government has been historically cruel to all living beings. Its barbaric sadistic whaling behavior has reminded us the Japanese killing madness in World War II only 60 some years ago. Japanese soldiers were raping, killing in many of the Asian countries. For example, Japan killed more than " 32 millions " of Chinese " Civilians " from 1931 till 1945 with the most unimaginable cruel ways to kill. It was Chiang Kai-Shek and his weak National Party(Kaomingdon) in power then. The Japanese government continues to deny its Atrocity. Please double click below for the precious 6 pages historic photos: http://www.cnd.org/njmassacre/page1.html (Please see more on References # 6) Now, again, the Japanese government is committing another kind of big Atrocity in the world on the fragile whales despite the international outcry and plea! As an U.S. Constituent, we urgently request you to: 1: CO-SPONSOR: H. CON. RES 180 , the whaling resolution now. 2: Urge President Bush impose major Trade Sanctions: Without sanctions, the US is in fact financially supporting Japan to kill whales. 3: Please urge all of IWC Representatives to strongly oppose RMS (Revised Management Scheme) in next and all of the IWC meetings. Because RMS will effectively end the 16-year global moratorium on Commercial Whaling. (see Reference # 10 ) 4: Please provide the most important " POLICING POWER " to protect vulnerable whales in the un-protected oceans. Without the " policing power " , Japanese government continues to kill massive number of whales even in the Antarctic Southern Ocean designated " Whale Sanctuary " area ! They just returned in April, 2001 with the killing of 440 whales from Sanctuary. Japan is stealing the Oceans from all of the other countries for their own private sadistic use. Thank you for your urgent action on Japanese and Norwegian's Whaling . Sincerely , Your Name, Address, City, State, U.S. CONSTITUENTS.
