hawks: TUESDAY –VOTE FOR GRIMM AND DEFEAT TURKISH LOBBY MCMAHON

On election day, this Tuesday, please make sure to vote for Michael Grimm, Republican candidate, who is running against Congressman Michael McMahon (D-NY), who voted against the Armenian Genocide resolution and then accepted campaign contributions from Turkish interests, who opposed the resolution less than three weeks later.

McMahon is a strong supporter of the racist Turkish-British Bizonal Bicommunal Federation plan for Cyprus, which laid the foundations for the Annan Plan that would have falsely legitimized the illegal Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, would have allowed the illegal Turkish settlers to remain in homes and properties stolen from Greek-Cypriots by the Turkish military and would have ultimately transformed Cyprus into a Turkish protectorate with British bases, after the eventual forced migration of all Greek-Cypriots and all other indigenous Christian minorities on the island -- Latins, Arab Maronites and Armenians.

This is going to be a very close election and you are going to make the difference. This district is traditionally Republican, which is why McMahon is so vulnerable. Make the difference that will defeat Armenian Genocide denial and Turkish Bizonalists. Vote for Grimm!

We provide an analysis and a breakdown of the many times McMahon met and got funding from the Turkish lobby by way of his very own legislative assistant Naz Durakoglu.

Is is the view of the Cyprus Action Network of America (CANA), and the evidence supports that McMahon is a deceitful genocide denier and is dangerous. He sits on the House Foreign Relations Committee and is considered Turkey’s “rising star” in Congress. *Turkish lobbyists have even circulated an unsigned letter to residents with Greek names in a last ditch effort to support Turkish lobbyist McMahon ,Turks fighting like “thieves in the night”. We include a copy of this letter at the very bottom in PDF.

     Defeat the Turkish Lobbyist McMahon: Vote for Michael Grimm on Nov 2, 2010

     By Alex Aliferis

    On November 2, 2010, Greek Americans should vote for Michael Grimm against pro-Turkish Congressman Michael McMahon.

    Congressman McMahon (D-NY-13) is in bed with the Turkish government and its denial campaigns against the Armenian Genocide. McMahon takes a pro-Turkish stance on Cyprus when he supports Turkish plans for bizonal, bicommunal federation. The bizonal bicommunal federations plans, are essentially, racist Turkish-British plans to falsely "legitimize" a partition on the Hellenic island of Cyprus, destroy the independent Republic of Cyprus, and eventually forcibly transform it into a Turkish protectorate with British bases. McMahon never issued a statement that condemns the illegal Turkish military occupation, or its war crimes on Cyprus such as murders and rapes.

    McMahon refused to cosponsor the H.Res. 252, Armenian Genocide resolution. He ignored Greek American constituents to cosponsor H.Res. 252.

    On February 10, 2010, the Turkish Coalition of America honored Congressman Michael McMahon in a special dinner event. You can see a video of McMahon's speech there at: http://www.historyoftruth.com/videos/5580-tca-presentation-for-reps-wexler-and-mcmahon-part-1.

McMahon is also on video touting our need for Turkey here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh_0lMtmDoU&NR=1. To learn more about McMahon and his tremendous efforts to support and defend Turkey

and

Azerbaijan , you can visit the ANCA website and review his record and notes at the bottom of the page. http://anca.org/legislative_center/election_housecard_detail.php?id=409&suffix=111

   Michael Grimm has a long history of serving his country. He is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran of the Persian Gulf War and former FBI Special Agent, and has won endorsements from the New York State Conservative Party, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Guy Molinari, and many others.

“I applaud our representatives from both sides of the aisle for working together on this resolution. As a combat veteran of the Marines and as a former FBI Agent, I am sensitive to international relations, specifically with Turkey

. However, there is right and there is wrong, and genocide is clearly wrong. Now is the time to bring the vote to the floor,” said Grimm.

On May 19, 2010, Michael Grimm stated, “Many people are unaware of the violence and genocide perpetrated against the Pontian Greek population in Asia Minor at the hands of the Turkish government during the early part of the twentieth century, or the genocides that befell the Armenian and Assyrian populations of the region.

“It is important for all New Yorkers and all Americans to recognize Pontian Greek Genocide Remembrance Day because it is only by recognizing these tragic events will we prevent their repetition in that region of the world and elsewhere,” said Grimm.

    On November 2, 2010, Greek Americans in the New York 13th will vote for truth, rule of law, genocide recognition, when they flock to the polling stations to vote for Michael Grimm against pro-Turkish funded Congressman McMahon.

   HIGHLIGHTS OF MCMAHON’S SPEECHES:

Here is some information, which will be helpful to circulate to Greek Americans, showing just how close McMahon is to Turkish foreign agents and Azerbaijani interests.   The parliament of Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic issued a resolution recognizing the ‘Turkish Cypriot North’ (The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) as a sovereign state. While this recognition is not regarded by Azerbaijan and internationally as 'official state-to-state', Azerbaijan itself maintained cordial unofficial relations with the ‘TRNC’. In 2004, Azerbaijan threatened to formally recognize the ‘TRNC’ if the Annan Plan was voted down by the Greek Cypriots.

Even though he has more than 10 times more Greek American, than Turkish American constituents, he has been far closer to Turkish interests.
