“I am
proud to have the support of the hard working Polish
American community that shares the American values of
love of freedom, independence and respect for family.
This council will continue to advise me on how best to
maintain and increase the strong ties between Poland and
the United States,” said Donald J. Trump.
The Polish American Advisory Council for Trump includes
Dr. Lucja Swiatkowski Cannon as chair, seven co-chairs
and a growing number of council members, five of whom
are announced today and others forthcoming. Polish
Americans from 10 states are represented by this
council. These leaders have already advised Mr. Trump
and Governor Pence on a number of related issues.
Dr. Lucja Swiatkowski Cannon, the council chair, is a
scholar/consultant most recently affiliated with the
Center for Strategic and International Studies. Dr.
Cannon stated, “I support Donald Trump’s insistence on a
stronger commitment by all NATO members for the common
defense. Of 28 NATO members, Poland is one of only five
countries fulfilling Mr. Trump’s call for balancing
NATO’s budget by meeting the goal of 2% of GDP for
defense spending. It is peace through strength."
Roman Korzan of McLean, Virginia is Co-Founder of the
Federation of Polish Americans. Korzan stated, “As a
legal immigrant, I see the similarity between Mr.
Trump’s common sense refugee vetting policies and those
of Poland, where the Chair of Poland’s leading party
said in May: ‘After recent events connected with acts of
terror, we will not accept refugees because there is no
vetting mechanism that would ensure security.”
“As a person of faith, I appreciate Mr. Trump’s policy
of creating a safe zone for Christians and other faiths
in Syria. Poles understand the dangers of religious
persecution” said David Targonski of Gastonia, North
Carolina, a Reagan and Bush appointee.
A historian and journalist, John Czop, of Ridgewood, New
Jersey, said: "Poland shed blood as our key new NATO
ally in Iraq and Afghanistan. Poles were responsible for
both the South Central Zone of Provinces (over three
million Iraqis) and 9000 square miles of Ghazni Province
in Afghanistan. Moreover, Polish Special Forces, known
as GROM, won well-merited praise from American army
officers for their intrepid raids against enemy
positions."
Former Regional Director for ACTION Eugene Pasymowski of
Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, says “Every one of our
communities is safer right now because Poland is
contributing to the NATO antiterrorist efforts by
providing fighter planes and Special Forces instructors
to fight ISIS in Syria and Iraq.”
"I’m proud that my birthplace of Poland is a stalwart
ally of my new country and contributed to peacekeeping
missions in Europe, the Middle East and Africa at the
side of the United States,” says filmmaker Witek
Rosowski of Glendale, New York; President of Solidarni
2010.
Eve Neterowicz of Portage, Wisconsin, a Reagan and Bush
appointee, reminds us: "Poland and America were friends
from the beginning. Poland adopted a modern Constitution
on May 3, 1791, shortly after the adoption of the US
Constitution. Generals Kosciuszko and Pulaski fought for
freedom and independence of both Poland and the United
States.”
Additional members of the council will be added in the
future.
