Urge Congress to Honor The Dalai Lama!

Congress introduced a pair of matching bipartisan resolutions in the House and Senate commemorating the Dalai Lama's birthday as a ‘Day of Compassion.’ The Senate version has already been approved, and now we need to get the House to pass their version! Please sign this petition calling on your Representative to cosponsor it; when the resolutions pass, a copy will be presented to the Dalai Lama by Congress as a sign of esteem and respect.

The Dalai Lama is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, a global icon of compassion, and a champion of interfaith dialogue. He is committed to a nonviolent struggle for the rights of the Tibetan people and the preservation of ancient Indian wisdom. And he is one of the most admired people in the United States of America and around the world.

Ask your Representative to cosponsor the resolution today!

Dear {contact_data~salutation},
 
As your constituent, I urge you to cosponsor H.Res.515, a bipartisan resolution commemorating the 90th birthday of the Dalai Lama as a "Day of Compassion."

Just yesterday, the Senate companion passed unanimously. I urge you to support the resolution and join in getting it across the finish line without delay.

The Dalai Lama is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, a global icon of compassion, and a champion of interfaith dialogue. He is committed to a nonviolent struggle for the rights of the Tibetan people, who live under Chinese occupation. And he is one of the most admired people in the United States of America and around the world.
 
Introduced in the House by Representatives Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Jim McGovern (D-MA), H.Res.515 congratulates the Dalai Lama on his outstanding contributions to the world, affirms the Tibetan people's human rights, and reiterates that the Chinese Communist Party cannot be allowed to interfere with any future search for his successor.

Again, please cosponsor the Resolution and call for immediate House passage.

Sincerely,
