Dear Senator (Name of the senator):
I am a constituent of the (name of the county of residence) and I am writing to ask you to support SCR 72 - Display of the Flag of Vietnamse American Heritage & Freedom Flag, which has the yellow background and three red stripes and has its roots dating back for 2,000 years.
The Vietnamese Americans have made the State of California their homes and have made significant contribution to our state since their settlement. Currently, California has the largest Vietnamese American population in the country. The Vietnamese Americans are voters and taxpayers as well as law-abiding citizens. They have made cultural, social, professional contribution to the State. They own and operate more than 20,000 businesses, generating millions of dollars in revenue annually. They proudly serve in the U.S Armed Forces. And when there is a need, the Vietnamese Americans generously contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the victims of the 9/11 tragic event.
I strongly believe that SCR-72 will not only bring the people of the State together as one community, it also serves as recognition to an ethnic that has a great part in the prosperity and development of California.
The State of Louisiana, the Commonwealth of Virginia and other major cities and counties, 70 in all, have passed legislation of this nature, recognizing the heritage flag of the Vietnamese Americans. I urge you to vote yes to SCR-72.
Sincerely yours,
