Subject: Request to Cancel the Lease for a Vietnamese Performance that Features Communist Singer Dam Vinh Hung
Dear Sir,
We have been informed that Ruby Blvd Entertainment, which are locally represented by Thai Hang (Christina Dang), Mike Nguyen, and Thang Pho (please see attached poster), had invited Hung Minh Huynh (stage name: Dam Vinh Hung) - a singer from Communist Vietnam - to perform on stage at the Scottish Rite Theatre, at 8:00PM, 22 May 15.
Dam Vinh Hung is not simply a singer. He is a member of the Vietnamese Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, which is “the largest social-political organization of Vietnamese youth. The union is led by the Communist Party of Vietnam”

The 4th Party Congress, held from 14th to 20th December 1976 in Hanoi capital, stated that “the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union must be built and well maintained in terms of politics, ideology and organizational structure so as to deserve being a socialist school of the youth as well as a reliable reserve force of the Party”.

That is why Mr. Dam Vinh Hung appearance in major cities in the U.S. has sparked strong protest by Vietnamese American who had fled Vietnam to avoid persecution from the Communist regime. His appearance also evokes grief and resentment in the hearts of many Vietnamese people in the U.S., and creates chaos and disturbance in the peaceful Vietnamese American communities in the U.S.
The Vietnam War, started by the North Vietnamese Communists, resulted in more than 250,000 South Vietnamese soldiers along with 58,000 American soldiers killed in action to fight against the Communist invasion. In addition to this fact, thousands of American soldiers were classified as MIAs and still have not accounted for. All their sacrifices are for only a good cause: freedom.
After the war ended in 1975, hundreds of thousands of former Republic Of Vietnam servicemen and women were imprisoned for decades in the concentration camps by the Communist government. Millions of civilians risked their lives to flee their homeland to escape from the brutality of the Communist policy. More than 500,000 Vietnamese boat people died on the high seas or in dense forest on their way seeking for freedom and human rights. Of the boat people, thousands of teenagers and women were raped by the pirates on their horrible journey.
Nearly a century ruling the country, the Vietnamese communist government has violated human rights, jailed hundreds of thousands of innocent people without trial, and committed to serious corruption. They also carry out the Resolution 36 in order to stir unrest to take control of the Vietnamese Community overseas and to establish a branch of communist party here in the U.S. We believe the appearance of Dam Vinh Hung plays a significant role in promoting the Vietnamese Communist propaganda.
For the stated reasons, we, the Vietnamese American communities in the U.S. strongly oppose the appearance of Dam Vinh Hung in San Antonio, as well as in any shows in the U.S. Allowing him perform on your stage is an insult to the Vietnamese communities in the U.S.
Most of the Vietnamese Americans have witnessed family losses, torture, detained in concentration camps, etc. still kept in our hearts the deep contempt for the Vietnamese Communist government. We respectfully request you to either cancel your contract with Ruby Blvd Entertainment or withdraw Dam Vinh Hung from the concert.
For the peace of the Vietnamese American Communities in the U.S., we also ask the Mason organizations not to support the Vietnamese Communist Party or its camouflaged performance troops to come to any city in the U.S. We are sincerely calling for your understanding, sympathy and support to our community.
We are very grateful for your consideration.
Respectfully Yours,
Mr. Michael Do
CEO, President of the Vietnamese American Community of the USA
