The Honorable Sam Brownback Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee Asia and Pacific Affairs Subcommittee 303 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510

(202) 224-6521

[date]

Dear Senator Brownback, As concerned citizens and registered voters, we are very outraged by the massacre of Christian Montagnards in Vietnam’s highlands during the past Easter weekend. We are writing you this letter, asking your support of Bill H.R.1950 in regard to the acceptance of the Millennium Challenge Account, the Peace Corps Expansion, and the Foreign Assistance Act. The killings of unarmed Montagnards during their widespread, peaceful demonstrations in the cordoned highlands are well documented in the Transnational Radical Party’s website. The millennium Challenge Account promoting freedom and democracy introduced by President Bush will alleviate the sufferings of the Montagnards and prevent their future bloodsheds if Bill H.R. 1950 will have been passed by the U.S. Congress. Therefore, we are appealing to your bringing to the U.S. Senate floor for voting. Thank you very for your cordial support.

And God bless you.

Sincerely yours

Communist Party suffers its second death

By Steven Lee Myers in Moscow

Russians have voted convincingly in parliamentary elections for a party loyal to President Vladimir Putin, expanding his already dominant political control in the first electoral test of his leadership since he assumed the presidency nearly four years ago.

With 90 percent of the ballots counted by early yesterday, United Russia, an alliance of politicians, ministers and businessmen united less by ideology than by their support of Mr Putin, had collected 36.8 per cent of the vote - more than double any other party.

The Communist Party, which had won the largest bloc of seats in the two previous parliamentary elections, faded badly after a bruising campaign that reflected internal divisions and challenges from breakaway parties.

The results showed the party receiving slightly less than 13 per cent of votes, compared with 24 per cent four years ago.

Although only about half the country's eligible voters cast ballots and the exact composition of the Duma, the Russian parliament's lower chamber, might not be known for several days, the results handed Mr Putin a strong mandate. Half the Duma's 450 seats are apportioned based on the vote for each party that receives more than 5 per cent of the total. The other seats are determined in individual districts.

Depending on the success of a handful of smaller parties and the results in the individual districts, the Kremlin could control a two- thirds majority, according to some projections.

The Communist Party, led by Gennady Zhuganov, appeared to be in a close race for a distant second place with the Liberal Democratic Party, led by the xenophobe and nationalist, Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

Motherland, a new party created only months before the election, was projected to win 9 per cent of the vote in one of the election's biggest surprises. The party appeared to drain support from the Communist Party with nationalistic appeals.

Mr Putin is seeking a solid majority in Parliament to build on the economic changes and anti-corruption drive that have won his administration respect among Western investors.

A convincing victory by United Russia, whose main platform is total support of the President, would also strengthen the likelihood of Mr Putin's re-election to a second term in next March's presidential vote.

Some Russians fear Mr Putin will use his authority to chip away at the democratic freedoms won after the fall of communism in 1991.

Mr Putin's moves to curtail press freedom cast a cloud over a campaign in which state-run broadcast media displayed a clear bias in favour of United Russia. Official media barely touched on the bloody standoff in Chechnya or the protest over the Kremlin's apparently politically motivated prosecution of the tycoon, Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

Mr Zyuganov, whose Communist Party was lambasted on Russia's major television networks, condemned the election. "This is a shameful farce, which has nothing in common with the country's interests," he said.

"You are all participants here in a revolting spectacle, which for some reason is called an election."
