Anyone chinese here?

[roshi]

Well I went canvassing and.. well most of the people in my precint are illiterate in english but can read and speak chinese well. They are all undecided except this one woman, but I am sure we can get the Ron Paul vote from them!

I need help though. I need someone to translate this statement so I can pass it out to them so they would vote for Ron Paul.

Hello,

I am Stephen, a supporter of Ron Paul. I am volunteering to support Ron Paul to help get him elected to be president. Ron Paul supports ending the income tax, wants to end the war NOW, and fix social security.

On February 5, we will be holding the primaries and we will be voting at McGuane Park. If you are interested in Ron Paul, go to the park, follow the instructions and vote for Ron Paul.

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

=================

Thanks..

hmmm.. Josh in la -- search for him under some "call4paul" posts. i know he is "asian" and I hate to stereotype but I think he 'might' be, and when I was on a call with him he spoke another language to someone in the background.. perhaps he can help.

[roshi]

[TaiwanGuy]

[DealzOnWheelz]

Just get ONE person to understand who Ron Paul is and how he will get rid of the income tax and let them spread the msg like wildfire..

[roshi]

Well I spoke in Chinese with them, I'm pretty sure they would know Chinese.

There is an avi of the vid at the site above. Perhaps you could show them on a laptop or burn some DVDs.

Ron Paul shi hen hao (is very good) :-)
Ta shi zhong guo de peng you (He is a friend of Chinese).

Unfortunately my Chinese isn't good enough to translate your introduction :-(

[TaiwanGuy]

Here is a rough translation. I don't know how to say primaries (i dont think they dont have them over here).

你好，

我名子叫 Stephen。 我支持 Ron Paul 為美國總統。 你二月五日在 McGuane 公圓可以為他投票。
如果對 Ron Paul 有興趣請你到公圓去投票。

如果有什麼問題，我願意協助！

謝謝你！

It says (in pinyin):
Wo MingZi Jiao Stephen. Wo Zhichi (support) Ron Paul Wei MeiGuo ZongTong. Ni ErYueWuRi Zai McGuane GongYuan KeYi Wei Ta TouPiao (Vote).
RuGuo You ShenMe WenTi, Wo YuanYi XieZhu!

初选

So Michigan primary for example would be

密歇根州初选

That has the stances.
I am not sure on some of the translation.
I will try to ask my wife (chinese) when she wakes up, but that should be good enough for now.

hmmm.. Josh in la -- search for him under some "call4paul" posts. i know he is "asian" and I hate to stereotype but I think he 'might' be, and when I was on a call with him he spoke another language to someone in the background.. perhaps he can help.


How pathetic have we gotten in this country when we can't even describe some as asian, white, black green or polka dotted if they are.

:)I hate PC.

[roshi]

Does anyone know the cost to make 1,000 copies?

[CurtisLow]

[WilliamC]

Wow, and I mean WOW! Please oh please let Ron Paul's ideas catch fire in the Chinese community. China is going to be such a dominant economic power this century, if the Ron Paul meme of liberty starts to spread in Chinese...wow.

Final Edit (My wife just made a few corrections):

To carry this on to another language, if anyone lives in a mainly Korean area let me know. I'm "conversational" in it, but my wife is a native from there and we'd be glad to translate to help the cause. Unfortunately we live in a mostly caucasian/hispanic area :(

[Josh_LA]

awesome

[Soccrmastr]

haha dude good luck reading it and then pronouncing it!

Yeah, FPC!

(Even though we know what we're talking about, this is an internet forum, so I must clarify, I hate macs)

Keep in mind "Chinese community" is not limited to those from China, just as Hispanic and Latino, Spanish speakers are far from limited to Mexican immigrants.

The Chinese community, like any community, are groups that are left out and forgotten in political discourse, thus less motivated to vote. Regardless of their origin, language barrier is a thing to overcome. Chinese Americans don't care what's going on in China (or else they'd go live there).
