邀請函

敬愛的台灣朋友 :

西元1947年2月28日前後，成千上萬無辜的台灣同胞受到中國侵略者的凌虐及大屠殺，造成台灣史上的「228事件」。這個「228事件」雖然喚醒了台灣人對中國的幻想，也提高台灣人的警覺；但是自「228事件」慘案後及至目前多件的「陰謀案」仍未能真正的得到國際人士的重視與支持，為此，必須探討「228事件」的因果並擴大流傳下去。

2007年的「228事件」是台灣人受迫害的第60個週年。台美人的社團及組織 已共同成立「228-60週年紀念會活動的籌備會」。它的目的

1) 不僅是要追悼無辜犧牲的台灣同胞，避免這些不幸的事件再繼續發生，使台灣更加安全。

2) 同時要透過「228-60週年紀念會」的活動來得到台灣人對『台灣國』的認同，並爭取國際友人對台灣的獨立與民主的肯定與支持。

3) 讓全世界的人士知道中國在其沿海省分佈置了900枚以上的飛彈描準台灣，台灣隨時將受其攻擊。且中國口口聲聲說：將用武力侵佔台灣，威嚇台灣百姓的生命。

建議及籌備:

1)聯合全世界各地的台灣人舉行「228-60週年紀念會」。

2)Feb 22在美國華盛頓DＣ由台美人社團共同舉辦各種紀念活動。2-28專家的評論會 (2-28 Symposium)、展出「228事件」的真實照片、史實資料、等，並邀請國際友人參與。

3)Feb 24 在美國賓州費城的「獨立鐘」 (Liberty Bell at 11:00AM to 1:00PM) 舉行「228-60週年紀念會」的活動，節目包括演講及音樂會。會後組成 「March for Taiwan」 的團隊由費城市「獨立鐘」出發，沿途經過德拉瓦州的威明頓市、馬利蘭州的巴爾地摩市，在Feb 28 到達終點站華盛頓ＤC--美國白宮、國會山莊( Capitol Hill)。

INVITATION

Dear Friend of Taiwan,

Preamble:

The "2-28" Incident, which occurred on February 28, 1947 when tens of thousands of Taiwanese were massacred by the Chinese, continues to be a dark reminder on Taiwan of the atrocities that were committed by the forces of Chiang Kai-Shek and his Nationalists. However, the awareness of the "2-28" Incident is not well-known in the international arena.

Purpose and Goals:

The "2-28" commemoration is to ensure that Taiwanese and the rest of the international community do not forget the massacre of 1947 by the Chinese. Additionally, it also serves as a wake-up call to the world of the continued threat that Taiwan faces daily from China from across the Taiwan Straits. China has continually pre-positioned more than 800 missiles on its coastal provinces aimed at Taiwan and has refused to renounce using force to take over Taiwan.

In order to avoid a repetition of the unfortunate events of "2-28," we want to keep the memories of those brave and innocent victims alive and to also ensure that their sacrifices were not in vain.

The "2-28" commemoration would celebrate the solidification of the Taiwanese national identity and to increase awareness of the need to ensure the future safety and security of Taiwan.

Proposals:

1) Taiwanese and overseas Taiwanese all over the world will commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the "2-28" Incident by holding Memorial Service on or about February 28, 2007.

2) TAA-USA In conjunction with all Taiwanese-American organizations, will determine the feasibility to hold any or all the suggested events.

3) Suggested Events: a) A "Taiwan 2-28 Event Photo Exhibition" inside the Capitol to address the impact of "2-28" on Taiwan's democratization process and the emergence of the Taiwanese national identity. b) A "March for Taiwan" walk or run from Philadelphia (the cradle of Liberty) to Washington DC. c) Symposium in Washington DC centered around Taiwan-U.S. issues from keynote speakers and prominent leaders.

Best regards,

228 60th Anniversary Memorial Action Committee (228-60 AMAC)
