卓代武：我为什么加入中国公民自由联盟

在我们中国，老百姓没有任何权利。妇女想生孩子，要得到政府的批准，如果没有政府发的准生证，那么，她就面临着被强迫流产的命运，不仅如此，她家的房子要被扒掉，家具被搬走，生下来的孩子是黑户口，将来上学，工作都有麻烦。生孩子本来是我们老百姓的基本人权，可是，在中国，这些老百姓最基本的权利都被剥夺了。

另外，中国政府还强行拆掉老百姓的房子，出卖地皮给房地产商人，增加政府收入，可是老百姓的房子被拆掉后，无处可去，变成流民。如果老百姓不同意自己的房子被拆掉，那么政府通过强迫的手段，比如殴打，拘留，派黑社会捣乱等手段强迫他们同意拆房子。我们老百姓的私人财产得不到保护，在房子被拆掉以后，如果不服，去上级政府去上访，或者去法院去告政府，结果也是根本没有人理睬他们，这么大一个中国，就是没有地方去讲理。

为了自由，为了争取自己做人的权利，我离开了父母，离开了亲人，来到了美国这个遥远的国家，希望在这里能够争取过上自由的生活。一个偶然的机会，我知道了中国公民自由联盟这个人权组织，听说他们是为了中国人的基本人权，为了言论自由而工作的组织，我毫不犹豫就参加了，我希望通过我和组织所有成员的努力，为自己和家人争取基本人权，希望我们都能够过上像美国人那样的自由生活。

反对中国的一胎化政策

赵春萍

在中国的时候，每对夫妻都是只能生一个孩子的， 这就是中国的计划生育政策。我认为，计划生育应当搞，但是不能用强迫的手段去搞，比如强迫流产。在我的家乡，我曾经亲眼看到，一个邻居因为怀了第二胎，被乡里的计划生育干部半夜抓走，第二天早上被送回来的时候，胎儿被流掉了，邻居因为在做流产的时候大出血，差点送了命。我在中国的时候，不敢生二胎，因为我看到听到太多这样的事情。

我在中国的时候，看到电视上，国外的家庭都有好几个孩子，羡慕得不得了，为什么他们没有计划生育，想生几个就可以生几个，而我们为什么只能生一个呢。生孩子是基本人权，我希望将来我们能够按照自己的意愿来生孩子，不要再有强迫流产这样的事情发生。
