Message body:
In the month of September, we remember not only 9/11 but also the tragic anniversary of the 1939 Invasion of Poland which ignited World War II.
As your constituent, I request that you please co-sponsor H.Res. 664, resolution introduced by Representative Thomas R. Suozzi (NY) “Commemorating the Anniversary of the Invasion of Poland and recognizing the importance of the United States alliance with the Republic of Poland.”
Why should the U.S. Congress adopt this resolution?
First, underestimating the strategic importance of Poland and leaving her without assistance allowed the war to escalate into a world war. About 6 million Polish citizens were killed, roughly half of whom were Jewish, most of them in the genocide perpetrated by Germany and the Soviet Union. Remembering such cataclysmic events and their consequences provides important guidance in forming current foreign policies.
Second, as the war in Ukraine and the situation around Taiwan demonstrate, the world is becoming a more dangerous place, and the United States needs steadfast allies. Poland has been such an ally since the American Revolution. This resolution reaffirms that alliance.
To co-sponsor this resolution or have any questions, please email Steven Peterson (Steven.Peterson@mail.house.gov) and copy me. Please keep me informed about your decision to support and co-sponsor this resolution.
Thank you,
