Chào các bạn, tôi viết Dự thảo LUẬT CẤM VẬN KINH TẾ CỘNG H̉A XĂ HỘI CHỦ NGHĨA VIỆT NAM để các bạn tham khảo.
Mỹ mà thông qua luật này th́ KT Việt Cộng chết chắc trong ṿng 3 tháng. Chỉ cần đưa ra Quốc hội Mỹ bàn thảo, chưa thông qua th́ VC cũng đủ chết KT, v́ ngoại quốc sợ hăi sẽ rút hết tiền ra khỏi VN TRƯỚC khi luật thông qua.
Toàn quốc VN sẽ loạn, dân ùn ùn chạy ra ngân hàng rút tiền, vàng, đô la. Mọi toan tính đầu tư bị băi bỏ. Dân chúng mua gom gạo, nhu yếu phẩm, đẩy giá hàng tăng cao vọt, như hồi 1986 là 800% tức gấp 8 lần trong năm.
VC sẽ không thể ngăn cản công an, bộ đội bỏ nhiệm sở chạy về lo cho gia đ́nh. VC mất kiểm soát kinh tế, an ninh, từ đó sẽ mất kiểm soát chính trị.

[PROPOSED] VIETNAM DEMOCRACY ACT OF 2012 [1]
This title may be cited as the "Vietnam Democracy Act of 2012".
FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
1. The de facto, illegitimate government of Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV) has demonstrated consistent disregard for internationally accepted standards of human rights and for democratic values. It restricts the Vietnamese people's exercise of freedom of speech, press, assembly, and other rights recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1948. It has refused to admit into Vietnam the representative of the United Nations Human Rights Commission appointed to investigate human rights violations in Vietnam.
2. The Vietnamese people have demonstrated their yearning for freedom and their increasing opposition to the de facto, illegitimate Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) government by risking their lives in organizing independent, democratic activities in Vietnam by undertaking hazardous flights for freedom to the United States and other countries.
3. There is no sign that the de facto, illegitimate CPV regime is prepared to make any significant concessions to democracy or to undertake any form of democratic opening. Efforts to suppress dissent through intimidation, imprisonment, and exile have accelerated since the political changes that occurred in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, especially after the United States removed SRV out of the Countries of Particular Concern list in 2006.
4. Events in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe dramatically reduced SRV’s external support, but since the late 1980s SRV has strengthened ideological and economic ties with People’s Republic of China and now is an extended arm of PRC to insinuate communist doctrines all over the South East Asia region. Many affected countries are close allies with the United States.
5. The fall of communism in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the now universal recognition from all corners of the world that SRV provides a failed model of government and development, and the evident inability of SRV’s economy to survive current trends, provide the United States and the international democratic community with an unprecedented opportunity to promote a peaceful transition to democracy in SRV.
6. However, CPV’s intransigence increases the likelihood that there could be a collapse of the Vietnamese economy, social upheaval, or widespread suffering. The recently concluded CPV’s Eleventh Congress has underscored CPV’s unwillingness to respond positively to increasing pressures for reform either from within the party or without.
7. The United States cooperated with its European and other allies to assist the difficult transitions from Communist regimes in Eastern Europe. Therefore, it is appropriate for those allies to cooperate with United States policy to promote a peaceful transition in Vietnam.
------------------
STATEMENT OF POLICY.
It should be the policy of the United States --
1. to seek a peaceful transition to democracy and a resumption of economic growth in Vietnam through the careful application of sanctions directed at the CPV’s government and support for the Vietnamese people;
2. to seek the cooperation of other democratic countries in this policy;
3. to make clear to other countries that, in determining its relations with them, the United States will take into account their willingness to cooperate in such a policy;
4. to continue vigorously to oppose the human rights violations of the CPV regime;
5. to maintain sanctions on the CPV regime so long as it continues to refuse to move toward democratization and greater respect for human rights;
6. to be prepared to reduce the sanctions in carefully calibrated ways in response to positive developments in Vietnam;
7. to encourage free and fair elections to determine Vietnam’s political future;
8. to request the speedy termination of any military or technical assistance, subsidies, or other forms of assistance to the CPV’s government from the government of any other country; and
9. to initiate immediately the development of a comprehensive United States policy toward Vietnam in a post-CPV era.
