*** From [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jadwiga i Stanislaw Checinscy) Drodzy Listowicze
Jestem bardzo zaniepokojona pojawieniem sie na polskiej liscie dyskusyjnej, tendencyjnych i znanych z okresu napasci na prezesa Edwarda Moskala, w zwiazku z propozycja przyjazdu do Chicago ks. Jankowskiego, zrodel. Wydaje sie mnie, ze rozpowszechnianie tych nie obiektywnych i wyraznie antypolskich komentarzy nie jest nam potrzebne. Dlatego ponizej pozwalam sobie zapodac komentarz z wlasciwego dla nas Polakow zrodla. Zycze konstruktywnej reakcji. Pozdrawiam Jadwiga Checinska Phoenix, Arizona, USA 03-08-2002 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nasz Dziennik - Swiat Page 1 of 1 Antysemityzmem maskuja krzywdy Polakow Liberalne i lewicowe media w Stanach Zjednoczonych i w Polsce rozpoczely kolejna kampanie nienawisci przeciwko przewodniczacemu Kongresu Polonii Amerykariskiej Edwardowi Moskalowi. Dopuscily sie przy tym perfidnej manipulacji. Jej celem j est najprawdopodobniej odsuniecie przedstawicieli chicagowskiej Polonii od wladzy nad dystryktami zamieszkalymi w wiekszosci przez Amerykanow polskiego pochodzenia. Media, zarzucajac Moskalowi po raz kolejny to samo, czyli "antysemickie wyczyny", ani slowem nie wspomnialy o walce, jaka toczy chicagowska Polonia na czele z Moskalem z probami podwazania jej interesow. Kilka tygodni temu z inicjatywy politykow reprezentujacych Partie Demokratyczna w Chicago zmieniono granice okrgow wyborczych. W wyniku czego polska dzielnica zostala rozczlonkowana. Nowa mapa polityczna zostala zatwierdzona, pomimo oficjalnych protestow Kongresu Polonii Amerykanskiej w Urzedzie Miejskim, w Biurze Burmistrza i w Radzie Miejskiej. Protestujac, KPA w oficjalnym oswiadczeniu argumentowal, ze w wyniku nowego podzialu trzydziestego okregu "zagubiony zostaje naturalny byt spolecznosci", "przestaje istniec wspolnota interesu" i "cala dzielnica miasta". W wyniku dokonanych zmian administracyjnych wielu polonijnych politykow straci wplyw na wazne dla chicagowskiej Polonii sprawy. Z tego powodu decyzja o bardzo niekorzystnej d1a Polonii zmianie granic administracyjnych w Chicago zostala zaskarzona przez KPA w Federalnym Sadzie Rejonowym w Chicago. O tym, jak istotna jest sprawa przebiegu granic pomiadzy poszczegolnymi okregami miejskimi, pokazaly odbywajace sie w tym miescie prawybory do Kongresu USA. Z ramienia Partii Demokratycznej o nominacjq do wyborow z 5. dystryktu ubiega sie popierana przez KPA kandydatka polskiego pochodzenia Nancy Kaszak, a jako kontrkandydat popierany przez obecnego burmistrza Richarda Daleya Rahma Emanuel, byly doradca w gabinecie prezydenta Billa Clintona. Pochodzacy z tego okregu wyborczego przewodniczacy KPA Edward Moskal stanal w obronie stanu posiadania chicagowskiej Polonii, wyglaszajac w miniony poniedzialek przemowienie podczas uroczystosci z racji Dnia Kazimierza Pulaskiego. W dramatycznym wystapieniu, mobilizujacym Polonie do walki wyborczej, prezes skontrastowal "atuty" kandydata establishmentu Rahmy Emanuela, jako czlowieka obcego, zupelnie niezwiazanego ze srodowiskiem polonijnym, ktory nie reprezentuje ani jego interesow, ani nie czuje ducha Polonii - z atutami polskiej kandydatki. Przewodniczacy Moskal w delikatnych slowach sugerowal, kim jest byly doradca okrytego zla slawa prezydenta Clintona, i jakimi metodami, przy silnym poparciu Partii Demokratycznej, chce on objac wladze w tradycyjnie polskich okregach miasta, w sytuacji gdy jest przeciez kandydatka polskiego pochodzenia. Przypomnienie wrecz ostentacyjnej lojalnosci Rahmy Emanuela wobec panstwa Izrael w kontekscie kampanii wyborczej nie bylo niczym niestosownym. jednak mass media, dezinformujac o istocie konfliktu, odwracaja uwagie od sadowego pozwu przeciwko groznym dla chicagowskiej Polonii machinacjom demokratow. Zdaniem wielu polonijnych dzialaczy, aby sparalizowac ich inicjatywe w obronie interesow chicagowskiej Polonii, usiluje sie po raz kolejny rzucic na Polakow odium "politycznej niepoprawnosci" czy grzech "gloszenia antysemityzmu", dyskredytujac ich niekwestionowanego przywodce.. Przemowienie przewodniczacego KPA wygloszone podczas uroczystosci z okazji Dnia Kazimierza Pulaskiego opublikujemy jutro.

Wydaje sie, ze Moskal zrobil wielka przysluge Emmanuelowi. Chce wierzyc, ze nie mial tej intencji. Wierze rowniez, ze Polonia nie bedzie glosowac na reprezentanta sfer klintonskich. Ze wzgledu na zwiazki z organizacjami proaborcyjnymi, nie wolni mi rowniez poprzec pani Kaszak. Jak zwykle znalezlismy sie wszyscy w square number one i to z reka w nocniku.
