Nice joke agian. I really enjoy some of your humorous posts. 

I think we are all in debt to Mr. Shannon Yeh. Without his endeavor, I don't  
think Bush will sign the bill. Therefore I am pretty sure that Shannon's letter  
had reached Mr. Bush. It's Shannon's letter that made Bush laugh a lot and  
decided to sign the bill in the good mood. So, Thank you Shannon. I really  
can't find any other words to express my gratidute although the bill seems none  
of my business.

If Shannon unfortunally falls into the list of those 100 people (in fact, it is  
almost sure), I think we should do something to rescue him from FBI or CIA. I  
guess Shannon may have used all his precious hard-earned money for his campaign  
like Mr. Ross Perol (he is certainly poorer than Ross). I am also afraid CG  
won't be so generous to pay Shannon's plane ticket to Beijing. What should this  
poor man do? Look around to find an old well and plunge in? We should not lose  
sympathy. Let's donate some money for Shannon's plane ticket to Beijing or  
Sydney, Australia. We have 80,000 CSS and their family members here. I think 2  
cents per person will probably be sufficient. So, Let's do it. Mail the 2 cents  
check to Shannon Yeh's Rescue Fund, BOX 1234, Anytown, Anystate 56789. I know  
this is certainly not enough to show our gratitude towards his exellency. Does  
anybody have any better idea? Maybe we need to read Chairman's Works and dig  
for "spiritual food and struggle methods". Where can we find Mao's Works? Oh,  
we can borrow them from Shannon. He has one bedroom full of Mao's great works.
