Advisory Council

“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.
