To the Council of the City of New York and Mr. Leffler:
As a New York City resident, I am very happy to learn that Falun Dafa and I have the privilege of receiving recognition from the Council of the City of New York.
The recognition given by the Council of the City of New York lends tremendous support to and affirms all Falun Dafa students and me, especially during this time when evil is manifesting most viciously in China, engineered by a bunch of ruthless brutes. I would like to express my gratitude to the Council of the City of New York for this, and I hope that I can bring wonderful things and well-being to the people of New York City.
