Mrs. Kostanian has spoken to social workers, medical health members, clinicians in the San Francisco medical community who have seen actual bills come from Communist China asking for  the medical bills to be paid by American Insurance Companies, Medicare, etc. and this is also going on internationally. (in essence the American Tax Payer is/would be paying for said medical bills as such)..It is hoped that every American feels this is important enough in terms of addressing Universal Human Rights, Disabled Rights, as well to every understanding for free nations and all peoples to stand against this continuing in the free world. To be understanding that any person or entity, is or has been complicit in any way with these above crimes against humanity is beyond comprehension. Please help to get out the message, to sign the petition, so it maybe taken to the United Nations, &quot;in the peoples name&quot; to make sure we not only fend for those in our community who are the most frail, but to that end to stand up for democracy, as well to make sure we may be able to save lives now in harms way both health wise, as well to save their very lives from certain death. Please note: for all who have already had transplant surgery at the hands of the Chinese Communists, there is no physician or hospital in the free world who will take on their present health or ongoing health condition(s). Please help to get out the story of the century. Sign the petition, please, in freedom&#039;s name. 
 
The importance about this issue is that Mrs. Kostanian is focused on human lives. With one hat she is a member of San Francisco Mayors Disability Council always focusing on how important issues as this will affect disabled lives locally-globally; has a non-profit(MHONA International since 1962)She is a confirmed disabled and human rights advocate; that this story is a barified fact, on-going nightmare. (She is in membership of the Commission Investigating Persecution of Falun Gong; Armenian National Committee; Past Member San Francisco Mental Health Consumer Board (14 years); San Francisco Disabilities Disaster Preparedness Board; Mayors Physical Access Board.)This issue affects all lives, locally and globally!</description>

		<description>I thought we live in a post-colonial era. But some people here still live in a colonial past, speaking of China as some sort of colony. You have to know that history has moved on. You can&#039;t live in the colonial fantasy any more.

		<description>The Tibetan people do not have much of a world voice, and I am glad that this is spotlighting their plight.  They are tortured for wanting to have their religion and culture.  Anyone who has listened to peaceful nuns who have been brutally tortured cannot stand by as China talks about harmony. No matter who Tibet &quot;belongs&quot; to, we need to stand up for a peaceful people who have had their human rights and dignity violated since the fifties.  I hope that the Chinese people will realize this as well, and pressure their government from inside China.</description>

		<description>Urges Newsom to buck up and express his concern regarding the Tibet crackdown and asks him to urge China to behave;  HA! Why would China care what the mayor of SF trhinks of her internal matters. SF loves wasting money on symbolic papers that mean nothing. They should concentrate on getting the crack dealers off my street and get rid of the homeless so I don&#039;t have to say &quot;no, sorry&quot; every five steps I take in this city. But instead they spend their time on federal isssues. And the idiots of SF just keep voting them in. You hate China so much? Start by throwing away every thing made in China you have and don&#039;t buy another one. I thought so.</description>

		<description>at the end of day, China is still China, Tibet is still part of China. 

All these noise are useless because China doesn&#039;t care.</description>

		<description>The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are the only political  entity to openly threaten the US with nuclear strike. This was in the event of interference over plans to repatriate Taiwan. Businessmen and developers are getting rich and leaving China while 67% of Chinese people exist below the internationally recognized poverty line. Is this what is meant by communism. Riots are everyday occurrences but revolt is quickly stamped out by the military whilst the media are forbidden to report this to prevent escalation of unrest. The CCP are buying up the manufacturing industries of the world how long before we are all threatened by their increased prices. Without protest we may as well give up now as the point of no return may soon be looming. The everyday people of China live in fear and deception as their police force make many arrests of Falun Gong and religous beliefs whilst media shows the wonderful rise of this great nation. The Olympic torch protests were not shown on Chinese TV only the close ups of the running group and the Chinese supporters prompted to be there from the nearby universities. Good for the Tibetans who have shown this issue in a truer light a light denied to Falun Gong practitioners all over the world who have been silenced by the media despite peaceful protests in most major cities of the world for the last 8, almost 9, years.</description>

		<description>Why are all liberals and many conservatives ignoring China&#039;s brutal treatment of North Koreans?  1 million or more have been murdered by North Korea, and hundreds of thousands live as prisoners and slaves in northern China.

It is not as glamorous a cause without Richard Gere, but the death toll is much greater.

The documentary Seoul Train vividly reveals China&#039;s complicity in the North Korean genocide.</description>
