OPEN LETTER TO THE ALBANIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY

ALBANIAN AMERICANS FOR TRUMP

A LEGALLY REGISTERED GROUP OF DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT INC.

US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS 2020

OPEN LETTER TO THE ALBANIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY

Dear Albanian compatriots in Michigan and throughout America,

On behalf of the “Albanian Americans for Trump”, a legally registered group of the Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., we would like to direct you our sincere call to vote for the re-election of President Donald J. Trump. This is the most crucial time in decades, when the United States of America has another chance to stay on its secure path, as the most powerful capitalist country of the world, or otherwise, to shift towards the radical left with its socialist politics of the economy and the society development. We Albanian Americans, as a solid and integrated ethnicity in America, can make a difference.

This call to you to vote for Trump, has to do mostly with those principles which identifie us best as Albanians, such principles we find embraced by the person Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

1. Communism or the Marxist ideology has been practiced at its worst forms as the best example of inhumanity, by killing, torturing and persecuting hundreds of thousands of innocent people in eastern Europe, especially in Albania. Over the past century, communist totalitarian regimes around the world have killed more than 100 million people and subjected countless more to exploitation, violence, and untold devastation. 30 years ago, while the communist regime in Albania was collapsing, it left behind a dark history of crimes against its own people, such crimes have been engraved in our memories.

It was President Trump, the first world leader that, in 2017 to announce November 7, the National Day of the Victims of Communism. On such announcement, President Trump said: “Today, we remember those who have died and all who continue to suffer under communism…Today, we renew our commitment to helping secure for all people a future of peace and prosperity founded on the core tenets of democracy—liberty, justice, and a deep respect for the value of every human life. Communism is the past. Freedom is the future”.

2. Mother Theresa, our most beloved saint, the perfect personification of the kind, hardworking, generous and devoted Albanian woman will forever fill us with honor and pride. It was President Trump who wrote tributes and deeply paid respect towards our Mother Theresa, before and after he was elected president. President Trump has said: “Mother Theresa had an amazing life of charity and holiness. She gave food to the hungry, shelter to the homeless, education to the needy. Mother Theresa represents the best of each of us. I am truly happy to see people across the world, join together and celebrate Mother Theresa’s uniquely humbled, generous and pious life. There was nobody like her”.

3. Abortion is the number one cause of human death, taking over 42 million innocent lives worldwide every year. Mother Theresa has said: “Today, the greatest destroyer of peace is abortion, because it is a war against a child”.

President Trump is a Pro-Life president. He is the first President of the United States of America to attend a March for Life rally. In 2018, during the United Nations General Assembly, President Trump said: “Like many nations here today, we in America believe that every child – born and unborn – is a sacred gift from God”.

President Trump recently signed an executive order to provide life-saving medical care for infants who survive abortion. The order reads: “Every infant born alive, no matter the circumstances of his or her birth, has the same dignity and the same rights as every other individual and is entitled to the same protections under federal law.”

Trump has said: “Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House.”

On the other side, candidate Joe Biden has declared: “I am pro-choice in every respect”. He has also voted for legal abortion on the very final stages of pregnancy, taking away the right to life for millions of children to be born.

4. Family is the foundation of our society. We Albanians recognize that and take

pride of our families: our family trees, our parents, grand-parents and all ancestors, generation after generation. The Trump family possesses all the attributes of a good family, a honored and strongly bonded husband and wife with well-educated hard-working children. We see President Trump as a defender and supporter of family. President Trump has said: “The happiest people I know are those people who have great families and real values. I’ve seen it. I know it. People who have a loving spouse and have children they really love are happy people.”

On the contrary, candidate Biden represents the far-left liberal values. Only one fact sells it all: in 2016, Biden while serving as vice president, he married two men. On that day he wrote: “Proud to marry Brian and Joe at my house. Couldn’t be happier, two longtime White House staffers, two great guys.”

5. Religion is one of the strongest values for us Albanians and we take pride of the peace between all faiths among us. President Trump has been continuously encouraging and supporting the freedom of religion. At the same time, he has been defending the people of all faiths from religious persecution. Trump’s most recent statement on religion was:

“In this country, civil society, especially religious institutions, are the essential foundation of the American freedom. A nation is strong because of the people of all faiths. That’s why as president, one of my top priorities, is to defend religious liberty, and to cherish the role of faith and faith-based organizations in our national life. As a President I will defend the right of religious believers of every race, religion, color or creed… Religion plays a very large factor in happiness. People who have God in their lives receive a tremendous amount of joy and satisfaction from their faith.”

6. Children are our most precious creatures, the inspiration and the motivation of our lives. They have never had a better supporter and protector in the White House. President Trump has recently undertaken a war unseen before against child abuse and human trafficking. Trump’s Homeland Security Investigations have arrested over 1600 criminals associated with child trafficking. Law, order and the safety of our lives and our children has been one of his priorities. Public schools throughout the country have downgraded their standards. Their administrations have removed God from educational institutions, trying to induce liberal values and indoctrinate our children. President Trump’s policies are to restore religion and the right to pray in our schools. Furthermore, Trump’s plan is to allocate funds toward private schools, encouraging and advancing school choice for our children.

On the other side Biden has been promoting most demonic values, encouraging parents to allow prepubescent minor children to transgender. Biden has recently stated: ”If your 8 year old child says they want to be transgender to make life easier… they have a right to transition and there is no reason for you [parents] to deny it”. Parents, please reconsider again before you vote for Biden. Put your children first.

7. Kosovo is our unfinished project until we Albanians have national unification of Albania, Kosovo, Çameria and all our territories. Trump and his administration, on the recent years have been putting their full attention to the peace in Balkan. Under the President Trump’s supervision, Kosovo and Serbia recently achieved a great peace agreement of their economic development.

President Trump has started and will accomplish his project for a permanent peace and mutual recognition between Kosovo and Serbia.

Candidate Biden has apologized to Serbia for NATO bombing raids which liberated Kosovo and it was him who repaired and rehabilitated relations with Serbia. Only a few weeks before Presidential elections, candidate Biden proposed an uncertain written proposal on Kosovo-Serbia relations, but in eight years, Biden serving as a vice-President, did nothing but left Kosovo unattended and completely forgotten.

Dear our fellow brothers and sisters of Albanian blood, we all left our countries and chose America for a safer and better life. This is our permanent country for the generations to come. Please don’t hesitate but vote! Before you vote remember who you are and where you come from. Vote for conservative values and those principles which identify you as an Albanian heir. Vote for the family of the image of the Holy Family. Vote for your own children’s future. Vote for Trump! Preserve the great America.

“Michigan Albanian Americans for Trump”, “fake name”…

May 30, 2020 by dgreca

Replikë Artikullit të z. Martin Vulaj, botuar në gazetën Dielli online, datë 29 Maj 2020:

“The original document of the conversation”/

NGA VALENTIN LUMAJ*

Nuk e njoh në person z. Martin Vulaj, prandaj nuk ndiej asgje tjeter vecse respekt ndaj tij që punon në menyrën e tij të ndershmërisë për komunitetin apo çështjen kombëtare.

Megjithatë unë dua të paraqes disa argumente që bien në kontradiktë me nje pjese nga çfarë shkruhet në artikull:

  1. Letra e derguar zevendes-pesidentit Pence eshte drejtuar nga “Michigan Albanian Americans for Trump”. Ky emer eshte fiktiv apo “fake name”, sepse nje organizate apo shoqate e tille nuk egziston as ne komunitet as e rregjistruar ne County apo askund.
  2.   Adresa e kesaj “Shoqates” qe eshte e shkruar ne leter eshte e residenca personale e z. Gjevalin Gega. A mund t’i shkruhet nen-presidentit te Amerikes gjoja ne emer te  komunitetit shqiptar me nje emer fallco dhe nje adrese te nje residence personale?!                
  3. Kjo leter eshte nenshkruar vetem nga z. Gjevalin Gega me shenimin “Kryetari”.  Une pyes: kryetari i kujt?  Ne ketu ne MI as kemi pare as kemi degjuar te jete themeluar kjo shoqate kaq e madhe me “lideret e komunitetit” dhe kryetar te jete zgjedhur

 z. Gega.

  • Z. Gjevalin Gega nuk perfaqeson askend perveç vetes se tij, ai nuk ben pjese apo perfaqeson asnje shoqate apo grupim te mirenjohur atdhetar ne MI.
  • Lista e “Michigan Albanian Community Leaders” perbehet vetem nga Shoqata Malsia dhe Shoqata Kosova, pasi te tjeret ne liste jane individe qe perfaqesojne vetem personin e vet. Edhe udheheqesit e kulteve fetare perfaqesojne vetem veten e tyre mbasi ata nuk und te perfaqesojne vullnetin politik te anetareve te vet. Po ashtu edhe perfaqesuesit e Televizioneve nuk perfaqesojne shikuesit e televizioneve te tyre.  Ne MI ka shoqata dhe organizata te tjera, te cilat z. Gegaj nuk arrin t’i manipuloje. Permend ketu institucionin e Konsullit te Nderit, Federata Vatra MI, Shoq. Kastrati, Shoq. Dukagjini. Albanian Roots MI, Shoq. Rapsha ne Mergim, etj.
  • Ne kete artikull shkruhet se kjo leter nuk ka lidhje me Peticionin e fundit derguar Presidentit Trump. Faktikisht ka nje lidhje sepse z. Gegaj eshte nje nga nismetaret dhe bashkepunuesit edhe te atij peticioni. Ai ka punuar shume per sigurimin e mbeshtetjes per kete peticion ketu ne Michigan, dhe ja ka arritur qellimit, mbasi ka bindur nje institucion fetar, ndersa dy institucione te tjera  as i ka pyetur as ua ka marre pelqimin. Me aq informacion qe kam, ata jane shume te indinjuar me kete veprim dhe mund te marrin edhe hapa ligjore.
  • Z. Gegaj, si firmetar i dy dokumenteve ne nje kohe te shkurter, i pari supporton Presidentin Trump dhe i dyti e sulmon Presidentin, dhe mohimi i lidhjes me te dytin, krijon nje konfuzion dhe nje opinion per nje dyzim qendrimi apo personaliteti.
  •  Sipas letres te ciles i referohet z. Vulaj, z. Gegaj eshte kryetar i shqiptareve qe mbeshtesin Trump-in, pra i shqiptareve republikane. Fakti  qe e ve ne pikepyetje te gjithe kete leter eshte se z. Gegaj eshte i deklaruar si INDIPENDENT.

Disa pyetje per autorin:

-mbi çfare baze e quani takimin e z. Pence me grupe etnike ne MI si takim special me z. Gega?

-si mund t’i konfirmoni si te verteta fjalet e z. Gega drejtuar z. Pense apo pergjigjen e z. Pence ne ate takim, a ka deshmitare qe e deshmojne kete?

-Kur thoni se “z. Pence u prek ne shpirt nga fjalet e Gjevalinit”, sim und t’a provoni kete. 

-si mund ti konfirmoni telefonatat e z. Tripmacher apo znj. Ahlers me z. Gega? Kush i ka degjuar apo regjistruar?

– Si mund t’a konfirmoni deklaraten e znj Ahler. Meqenese pati nje leter te shkruar, a keni ndonje pergjigje me shkrim apo vetem fjale ne ajer “according to Gegaj”?

-Edhe nje verejtje serioze per Peticion-shkruesit alla-Gjovalin Gegaj, alla-Richard Lukaj etj:

Mos i kompromentoni dhe mos u mundoni te fitoni kredibilitet duke perdorur emrin e bashkesive fetare. Bashkesite fetare nuk merren me politike.  Ka nje konflikt te madh ketu. Nje udheheqes i nje bashkesie fetare nuk mund te firmose nje peticion qe ska lidhje me religjionin, ne emer te gjithe anetare te asaj bashkesie. Udheheqesit fetare mund te merren me aktivitet politik apo kombetar si individ por jo si bashkesi. Sepse normalisht Trump apo Pense kane te drejte te pyesin: Cfare pune kane per shembull kishat apo xhamite te me kritikojne apo rekomandojne çfare duhet te bej apo mos te bej ne punen time si President/Vice i Amerikes?  Prandaj ju mund te shkruani emrin e tyre si individe por jo te bashkesise fetare qe perfaqesojne. Kete ta mesoni sa per kulture te punes tuaj.

Ne pamje te pare mund te duket sikur une kam nje qasje personale me z. Gega. Ne fakt nuk eshte ashtu, per me teper e adhuroj si nje punetor i palodhur dhe familjar i mire. 

E BERA KETE REPLIKE PER TE NDERGJEGJESUAR LEXUESIT, SE Z. GEGAJ APO TE TJERE, ME DASHJE, PA DIJE, PA VETDIJE, ME NAIVITET, PER POPULIZEM APO PER PAK EMER E ASHTU NEN TAVOLINE, PO I BEJNE NJE DEM SHUME TE MADH KOMUNITETIT SHQIPTAR, KOSOVES APO ÇESHTJES KOMBETARE. Prandaj ky reagim le te jete fillim i nje refketimi per te kuptuar gabimet ne menyre qe te  mos perseriten ne te ardhmen.

 “E thëna e së vërtetës nuk sjell ndonjë fitim; po ka një ëmbëlsie më vete, sepse te qetohet vetëdija kur fole ç’duhej të flisje”- ka thene themeluesi i Diellit. Per hater te Konices se Madh, tek Dielli nuk duhet te botohen çfredolloj artikujsh elozhe per individe qe i ndjek nga mbrapa vetem hija e vet.
