(Clearwisdom.net) The California car tour group for rescuing Charles Li arrived at the cities of Chico and Redding on February 28, 2003. In Chico, the group held a press conference. Ms. Yeong Ching Foo made a speech to appeal to the American people and government to give a hand to rescue Charles Li, a U.S. citizen.

Many local media paid special attention to the car tour. The local radio station made an earlier report of the group's coming and came to cover the event. During the press conference, five local media outlets including TV stations and newspapers came to cover the event. Many local residents came to the press conference after hearing the earlier report on the group's arrival.

One lady said, "The Chinese government has detained Charles Li for no reason and opposes Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. This is because the regime has committed too many evil activities."

We left early this morning at 6:30 am. On the way, we continue to distribute flyers to county officials and local residents in places we passed by and collected signatures. (To sign the online petition, please go to: http://rescuecharles.org/signature/index_gb.php)

Wherever we have gone, people have responded warmly. One local said to us, "Thank you for coming from far away to tell us this information to rescue Charles Li. You are doing the right thing. Victory will be yours if you persist in your efforts!"
