Dear Senator Lucas:
My name is Peter Kim, the President of Voices of Korean Americans (VoKA). On behalf of the entire 150,000 Korean Americans and 49 non-profit Korean American Organizations in the state of Virginia, I would like to convey our deep concern about the ¡°East Sea¡± bill (HB11). This bill was passed in the House by 81 to 15 on 2/6/2014 and referred to the Senate Education and Health Committee. As the committee chairman, you have not scheduled this bill into the docket for a hearing yet. The Korean community also realized you decided not to hear this bill so it automatically gets killed. The same bill (SB2) also passed the Senate by 32 to 4 on 1/23/2014. The content is exactly the same with different numbers.
The ¡°East Sea¡± means a lot more than a simple name of sea to the entire 150,000 Korean Americans in Virginia. It basically symbolizes 5,000 years of Korean history and culture. However, the name was disappeared from the world map in 1929 during the Japanese military occupation of Korea. The Korean Americans in the state of Virginia would love to teach Korean American children this particular sea name so they would remember and recognize the Korean culture and heritage. I assure you every single Korean American in Virginia strongly desires this bill to pass in both Senate and House for Governor McAuliffe¡¯s signature. SB2 will pass in the House anyway. Why would you kill this bill (HB11) without gaining anything?
The Korean Americans in Virginia had been very strong supporters of Democratic Party and Democratic Candidates for many years. For example, more than 76% of Korean Americans voted for Democratic Candidates, Terry McAuliffe, Ralph Northam, and Mark Herring on November 5, 2013. Why would you do something that will only damage the images of the entire Democratic Party and Democratic Candidates? If HB11 gets killed in your committee, the entire 150,000 Korean Americans have no choice, but will have to consider your action as an act of ignoring the 150,000 voices of Korean Americans in Virginia and disrespecting the Korean culture and heritage. I would like to remind you that there are tens of thousands of Korean American women who married to non-Koreans with last names like Miller and Jackson in Norfolk, Newport News, Hampton, Northern Virginia area in addition to 89,000 Korean Americans with last names like Kim and Lee.
The Korean community sincerely hopes you would reconsider your decision on HB11. We are very serious about this situation at this time. This email to you will be disclosed to the entire 150,000 Korean Americans in the state of Virginia through Korean American newspapers, radio, TV, and social media so all of them are fully aware that you have in fact received this email. The hundreds of Korean Americans will come to Richmond next week to show our support for all the House Delegate members and cheer them up for their approval on SB2. Once again, please take a look at this very serious matter and pass HB11 in the Senate as well. I look forward to hearing from you very soon. Cheers!
Yours truly,
Peter Kim
President, Voice of Korean Americans (VoKA)
