Ladies and Gentlemen,
On May 8, 2018, New York State Senate approved the Resolution J4960 Commemorating the 4th Annual New York Immortal Regiment March organized by the Russian Youth of America.
This resolution was presented by pro-Russian NYS Senator Luis R. Sepúlveda under the pretext of “observing heroism and honor the sacrifice of soldiers and citizens in World War II.”
We consider this resolution dangerous and detrimental to the national security of our country for it sets the precedent of support for Russian Federation’s aggressive propaganda by American elected politicians.
Hence, an open letter on behalf of New York State residents and other Americans to be sent to all New York State senators with copies to the New York State governor, Andrew Cuomo, and representatives, committees and subcommittees of the US House of Representatives and US Senate in charge of the national security.
Please — read the letter and sign it including your profession and place of residence (town and state.)
For more information on the matter see the appendix.
We recommend that those New York State residents who put their signatures under this letter will send it – better yet – deliver it to their state and federal representatives.
Please share this information with the link attached via social networks.
Links to relevant materials and to the list of signatories are located under the letter text.
In order to prevent entering spam, new signatories will be added to the list manually and will appear there in a few days.
