Great News! Cupertino City Council has placed SCA-5 on its special meeting agenda on March 17, next Monday. Please attend.

Hi all,

Great news! Cupertino City Council will hold a special meeting to discuss whether or not to send an opposition letter to California State Legislature regarding California State Constitution Amendment # 5 (SCA-5). The special meeting will be held on next Monday, March 17, 2014 at 3 PM at Cupertino Community Hall on 20310 Torre Ave., Cupertino, CA 95014.

You can speak under public comment period. You can have your power point presentation, slide show, video show or your own show. Any one can speak. You just need to fill out a speaker card at the meeting. You don't have to have American Citizenship or to be a resident of Cupertino to speak. Again, ANY ONE CAN SPEAK. You can also speak the language that you are comfortable. Generally, you will have three minute per speaker. Our mayor may cut it to 2 minutes or shorter. You can also have a group speaker representing your group (10 people can be considered as a group). That way you will have more time, about 10 minutes. Again, the mayor may cut it to 7 minutes or shorter. The meeting will be televised. Please be prepared, dress up, be calm, be polite and be respectful. If you don't dress up, you will not look good on TV. And, if you are too emotional, you will not look good on TV, either.

Remember, you only need three city council's votes (majority votes) to pass. If it is passed by majority votes, we will then send an opposition letter to California State Legislature in regarding to SCA-5.

You can plan to have a rally for an hour outside of the Community Hall at 2 PM before the meeting start and invite all medias to attend. 好机会, 好好造勢！臺灣話説的好：输人不输
陣。

Below is the email message from State Senator Ted Lieu. He is working hard with Senator Leland Yee and Carol Liu to try to stop SCA-5. Please write a thank you note to him and his staff. You need allies, not enemies. 請大家以溫和，理性，和平 有禮 的態度对待他们。谢谢!

I know Senator Ted Lieu, Leland Yee and Carol Liu for many, many years. They are doing their best for our community. Remember Chinese old saying: If you can forgive people, please forgive them. (得繞人処，且繞人). 请不要再骂他们了! Your main focus is to Stop SCA-5 in the State Assembly now. As you can see below, Senator Lieu, Yee and LIu are working hard trying to Stop SCA-5. Please give them a little bit of encouragement. Remember American saying: In politics, there is no forever friend, nor forever enemy. (政治沒有永远的朋友，也沒有永远的敵人）。

Thanks again. 谢谢!
