Vera Lalchevska

1. AMERICA: BE TRUE TO YOUR DEMOCRATIC IDEALS. HELP THE MACEDONIAN PEOPLE FIGHT AGAINST CRIMINAL & MURDEROUS TERRORISTS.

2. DEAR PRESIDENT BUSH. WE, THE PEOPLE OF MACEDONIA, KNOW THAT YOU CAME TO PROMOTE A MORAL AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. WE KNOW YOU WILL DO WHAT IS BEST FOR DEMOCRACY - YOU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. MORE THAN 95% OF ALL MACEDONIAN AMERICANS ARE REPUBLICAN. WE SUPPORT YOU. SUPPORT US.

3. TO THE NGO'S AROUND THE WORLD. WHERE ARE YOU??? WHY AREN'T YOU PROTECTING 36,000 MACEDONIAN REFUGEES FLEEING THE NLA TERRORISTS?

4. About the NLA - The Albanian National Liberation Army DID YOU KNOW?

* THE NLA IS A CRIMINAL TERRORIST GROUP

* THEY HAVE BEEN RAPING WOMEN IN VILLAGES

* THEIR TOP LEADERS HAVE BEEN TRAFFICKING PROSTITUTES, NARCOTICS, AND WEAPONS

* THEY HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

* THEY HAVE COMMITTED MURDER

5. AMERICA: DON'T COMMIT ANOTHER MISTAKE. DON'T SUPPORT THE NLA, FORMER KLA.

6. AMERICANS: STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS AND THE RIGHTS OF HUMANITY. DON'T LET TERRORISTS LIKE OUSAMA BIN LADEN THREATEN YOUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS.

7. TO THE POLITICAL LEADERS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: YOU HAVE ____________ MACEDONIAN AMERICANS IN YOUR COUNTRY WHO ARE COMMITTED TO DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES AND WHO VOTE FOR YOU . YOU HAVE _____________SUPPORTERS OF THE NLA IN YOUR COUNTRY WHO ARE BRINGING DRUGS TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND ADDICTING YOUR CHILDREN. WHOSE SIDE WILL YOU BE ON WHEN YOUR CHILDREN DIE OF ADDICTION?

8. LET US PRAY THAT IN THE FUTURE, NO TERRORIST ORGANIZATION WILL BE ALLOWED TO COMMIT AUTROCIOUS CRIMES AND MURDER IN THE NAME OF HUMAN RIGHTS. KILLING IN THE NAME OF HUMAN RIGHTS IS AN IRONY TO THIS WORLD, TO HUMANITY, AND TO GOD.

9. TO CONGRESS: THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU ACCEPT DIRTY MONEY. ACCEPT OURS INSTEAD: TOGETHER, THE MACEDONIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN THE US, MAKES UP A LARGE PERCENT OF YOUR BUSINESSES AND YOUR VOTES. WE WILL AGGRESSIVELY SUPPORT YOU, IF YOU SUPPORT US.

10. DOES ANYONE WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH?

* IN 1999 MACEDONIA ACCEPTED MORE THAN 400,000 ALBANIAN REFUGEES FLEEING KOSOVO. IT WAS THE BIGGEST ACT OF HUMANITY THAT ANY COUNTRY OFFERED DURING THE WHOLE KOSOVO CRISIS. NO OTHER COUNTRY SACRIFICED ITS STABILITY, ECONOMY, AND EVERY-DAY LIFE FOR THE PLIGHT OF THESE PEOPLE.

* IN 2001 MACEDONIA IS STABBED IN THE BACK BY SOME OF THE PEOPLE IT WELCOMED. MORE THAN 2000 ALBANIAN TERRORISTS WHO HAVE COME FROM KOSOVO APPARENTLY HAD OTHER MOTIVES. THEY ARE NOW TERRORIZING OUR PEOPLE AND ETHNICALLY CLEANSING MACEDONIANS FROM TERRITORY THEY WANT TO OCCUPY

* INCIDENTALLY THIS TERRITORY IS THEIR ROUTE FOR THE ILLEGAL TRANSPORT OF DRUGS, WEAPONS, AND PROSTITUTES.

11. THE ALBANIAN MAFIA HAS BEEN PROCLAIMED BY FAMOUS FRENCH CRIMINOLOGIST XAVIER RAUFER AS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO EUROPE - A CRIMINAL SUPERPOWER. THE LEADERS OF THE NLA ARE THE TOP OF THE TRIANLGE OF THE ALBANIAN MAFIA.

12. WHAT DID WE DO WRONG?

13. IT IS THE RIGHT OF EVERY COUNTRY TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS AGAINST TERRORISTS WHO INVADE ITS TERRITORY AND MURDER ITS PEOPLE.

14. IS THIS WAR A MYTH? WHO COULD BELIEVE THAT IN THE 21 CENTURY, A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY HAS BEEN THREATENED AT GUN-POINT BY TERRORISTS TO NEGOTIATE WITH THEM? AND WHO WOULD BELIEVE THAT THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HAS BELIEVED THIS GREEDY MONSTER - THE NLA?

15. DEAR AMERICA. IF YOU ARE FOR PEACE IN EUROPE, THEN YOU WILL SUPPORT THE MACEDONIAN GOVERNMENT IN TRYING TO FIGHT ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST CRIMINAL TERRORISTS.

16. ACCORDING TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT: (TO BE FILLED IN)

17. ACCORDING TO THE WASHINGTON POST, SUNDAY, JULY 29, 2001: "NATO AND UN OFFICIALS FEAR THEY WILL PUT THEIR LIVES AT RISK BY ACTING AGAINST FORMER MEMBERS OF KLA." WHOEVER CREATED THE KLA/NLA MONSTER WILL HAVE TO DESTROY IT.

18. FROM THE WASHINGTON POST, SUNDAY, JULY 29, 2001. KOSOVO. "ALL THE KLA SUSPECTS WERE RELEASED BEFORE THE REAL COURT INVESTIGATION STARTED, BECAUSE OF A THREAT BY REBEL LEADERS THAT IF THEY WERE NOT RELEASED, KFOR SOLDIERS WOULD COME UNDER THREAT." AMERICA, DON'T LET MACEDONIA BECOME ANOTHER KOSOVO!

19. QUOTE FROM INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GROUP: "MACEDONIA HAS BY FAR GREATER MINORITY RIGHTS AND DEMOCRATIC STANDARDS THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN EASTERN EUROPE."

20. MACEDONIAN MINORITY RIGHTS: 25 OUR OF 120 MINISTERS IN PARLIAMENT ARE OF ALBANIAN ORIGIN. THIS IS A BETTER RECORD THAN THE US CONGRESS EVER HAD.

21. MACEDONIAN MINORITY RIGHTS: SINCE 1991 EVERY GOVERNMENT OF MACEDONIA INCLUDING THE PRESENT ONE HAS BEEN A COALITION WITH ALBANIAN PARTIES. THIS IS A BETTER RECORD THAN THE AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION HAS EVER HAD.

22. MACEDONIAN MINORITY RIGHTS: ALL EDUCATION IS FREE IN MACEDONIA - FREE OF CHARGE AND FREE TO WHOEVER WISHES TO PURSUE AN EDUCATION.

23. MACEDONIAN MINORITY RIGHTS: THE ALBANIAN MINORITY ENJOYS THE PRIVILEDGE OF STUDYING IN THE ALBANIAN LANGUAGE UNTIL THE LAST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL, APPROXIMATELY AT THE AGE OF 18. UNFORTUNATELY, AS THE US STATE DEPARTMENT QUOTES, THERE IS NO ATTENDANCE ESPECIALLY FROM WOMEN IN ALBANIAN COMMUNITIES DUE TO CULTURAL FACTORS SUCH AS THE ABUSE OF ISLAM.

24. MACEDONIAN MINORITY RIGHTS: THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITY IN THE CAPITAL OF SKOPJE HAS A QUOTA FOR ENSURING MINORITY ATTENDANCE. AGAIN, THE QUOTA HAS NEVER BEEN FILLED DUE TO THE CULTURAL FACTOR OF RELIGION.

25. MACEDONIAN MINORITY RIGHTS: THERE ARE 15 NEWSPAPERS IN THE ALBANIAN LANGUAGE IN MACEDONIA.

26. MACEDONIAN MINORITY RIGHTS: MACEDONIA IS THE FIRST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD - EVEN BEFORE ALBANIA - TO BROADCAST TELEVISION IN ALBANIAN. THE SECOND LARGEST PUBLIC TELEVISION STATION IN MACEDONIA BROADCASTS ONLY IN MINORITY LANGUAGES.

27. IN NO COUNTRY CAN A MINORITY HAVE MAJORITY STATUS. IT WOULD BE LIKE TELLING ALL AMERICANS TO SPEAK SPANISH AND WAVE THE MEXICAN FLAG.
