【大纪元4月16日讯】亲爱的国会参议员舒默/国会参议员克林顿/国会众议员汤思/州长帕塔基：
近日，欧洲卫星公司的一些举动令我十分关注。这家拥有美国40%卫星转播合同的法国卫星公司将在4月15日终止与总部位于纽约的中文媒体新唐人电视台对中国地区的电视播放。新唐人电视台是至今中国民众可以收看到的唯一的一家不受中国政府审查管制的自由媒体，他以公正，无偏见的态度向中国民众报导了世界上所发生的事件。
我敦促您尽最大的能力来阻止此事的发生，因为可以收看到不受政府审查管制的公正，自由媒体的节目对所有的中国民众是十分重要的。您在国会的许多同事都已签署了联名信给布什总统，要求他向欧卫施加压力，以使新唐人继续在中国播放。我希望您也向总统联系并表达您对此重要事件的关注。
诚挚的，
弗兰克-西迪奥
州众议员

Dear Senator Schumer/Clinton/Ed/Governer Pataki:
It has recently been brought to my attention that Eutelsat, a French satellite company with over forty percent of the Federal government’s satellite contracts, will discontinue the broadcast of the New York City based Chinese language network New Tang Dynasty TV (NTDTV) to China on April 15th. NTDTV is the only uncensored free media available to the Chinese people, and have an important role in broadcasting non-biased coverage of world events to them.
I urge you to do anything in your power to prevent this from occurring, as it is important to the Chinese people and to the people of this nation that they are able to view a fair and free media in their country, without censorship. Already many of your colleagues in the House have signed on to a letter to President Bush, asking him to pressure Eutelsat to continue their broadcast to China. I hope that you too will contact the President, and express your concerns on this important issue.
Sincerely,
Frank R. Seddio
Assemblyman
