TRUMP CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCES POLISH AMERICAN ADVISORY COUNCIL
NEW YORK, NY – Today after meeting with the Polish American Congress in Chicago, Donald J. Trump is pleased to announce his Polish American Advisory Council. The women and men on the council are grassroots leaders who will engage with the Polish community on relevant issues. “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.
