On February 23rd, 2006, practitioners from the State of Washington once again hosted a "Legislative Day" at the State Government building. They did this to further expose the persecution of the practice of Falun Gong to state congressional members. This was the fourth "Legislative Day" that practitioners have held since 2003.

Practitioners paired up Chinese and English speakers to visit the offices of 42 elected official.

Practitioners focused on the attack of practitioner Dr. Peter Yuan Li in Atlanta. He was assaulted and robbed in his home. They also spoke about the federal congressional hearing on February 15th that condemned Microsoft, Yahoo, Cisco Systems, and Google for helping the CCP to limit free speech and further censorship in China. Practitioners distributed copies of the "Nine Commentaries on Communist Party" [An Epoch Times publication that discloses the nature and history of the Chinese Communist Party. For more information visit www.theepochtimes.com] and informed officials about the wave of withdrawals from the CCP. In regard to Hu Jintao's upcoming visit, practitioners drafted a letter to the Governor asking him to publicly condemn the Chinese Communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong. Elected officials and their assistants expressed concerns about the persecution. A Native-American congressional member showed deep understanding on the history of the Chinese Communist Party destroying the Chinese cultural. Some of the officials very positively responded in signing the letter to Governor.

Every office indicated that they often receive emails from practitioners. Even though most of the offices are familiar with the issue of Falun Gong, some of the offices have never contacted practitioners directly. Practitioners stated that they will try to do better and personally visit each and every office.
