Political Quotes

“Today the House will debate H.R. 2232, which will increase funding for Radio Free Asia and the Voice of America broadcasting into China. By passing this bill, we will then have continuous broadcasting to China in multiple dialects and languages. Currently, only a few hours are broadcast and in only two languages. The increased funds will allow millions of Chinese citizens to hear the truth about their own country and the world around them. Listening to the words of truth, of freedom, of respect for human rights, of democracy is fundamental to making correct decisions. There is no free press in China. Voice of America and Radio Free Asia tell the truth of today's news without the bias, the distortion, the lies of the Chinese propaganda machine. Our broadcast will serve as a surrogate free press in the dictators' Republic of China. I know these broadcasts can be successful. Radio Marti, which is listened to by millions in my native homeland of Cuba, has been promoting justice and freedom, the hallmarks of our great country. Castro has tried and tried to jam its signal, but he has failed. An informed citizenry is needed for true political and economic freedom. Support Radio Free Asia today.”
