All Invited Republican Candidates Dodged Again
Candidates' Public Debate for November 7th General Election
October 27, 2000 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM

Dear Frank:
This is to share with you that the referenced programme went well last
night. It would have been better if you and your republican candidates
had participated in the process.
As you know we diligently endeavoured to work with you, your committee,
its leadership and the party candidates. The rejection, two years in a
row, by you and those republican candidates to hear us and represent us
constitutes hallmarks of a deliberate corporate act of sabotaging the
scheduled occasion and a willful corporate act of attacking us.
Moreover, the instant case strongly indicates an incontrovertible
likelihood of the command or/and will/wish of the top brass of your
committee. We feel harmed. We feel denigrated. And, we feel insulted
and prejudiced in dignity and injured. What, then, is the remedy?
We are an immigrant ethnic minority group, part of the great American
mosaic and diversity, seeking an opportunity to make a contribution
and difference to this nation that we call our country. We aspire,
therefore, to uphold the great principles shaping America including
those time-honoured Republican values as we are beneficiaries of the
blessings of the heritage of this land.
Hence, we respectfully submit to you to determine whether such a
deliberate corporate act of sabotaging our embryonic level of democracy-
learning exercise is consistent with the professed Republican credos.
Indeed, doesn't it appear that the acts that you and those candidates
committed are so un-American let alone un-Republican?
Sincerely,
Sang Joo Kim / signed
Chairman
Council for America My Country (CAMC)
