Letters to US President Barack Obama

Presenting Dr. Yang’s Poem, “Authoritarian Capitalists – Demons Everywhere”

Dear President Obama:

In response to the flagrantly pro-China aptitude of many US multi-nationals during the past few years, I would like to voice out our concern, in the form of a poem scripted by Taiwan Tati Foundation's chairman, Dr. Yang Hsu-Tung.  Dr. Yang had been a long time advocate of democracy, human rights, and freedom of speech.  His most important recent endeavor is advocating for Taiwan's sovereignty and democratization.  In addition, he also had been actively speaking out against the quasi-KMT organization, National Communication Corporation's (NCC) unconstitutional and illegal manipulation of Taiwan's media industry and abusing our country's freedom of speech.

On Iran’s Protest over Alleged Vote-Rigging

Dear President Obama:

I am writing to express Tati Foundation’s concerns for the post-election protest in Iran.  Freedom of speech and human rights have always been our Foundation’s core values.  And a fair election is among the favorites that we champion.
