On October 14, 2007, The Washington Times published UMD President Metodija A. Koloski's Commentary article, on page B4, entitled "Name dispute or ethnic misdeeds?" The commentary can be read by clicking on the following link: http://washingtontimes.com/article/20071014/COMMENTARY/110140012/1012

--------------------

Dear Friend,

Thanks to your support, the United Macedonia Diaspora (UMD) has moved to the forefront of a world-wide effort to secure Macedonia's freedom, democracy, and prosperity. Without our members, friends, and volunteers, this could not have been accomplished.

However, there is much more work to be done. Consider what we still face:

• Two virulently anti-Macedonian resolutions before the U.S. Congress
• Stubborn opposition to Macedonia’s NATO and EU membership by Greece
• Continued non-recognition of Macedonia’s constitutional name by Australia, France and others
• Violent and systematic discrimination against Macedonian minorities, particularly in Greece and Bulgaria

As far as we have come in the last 20 years, the struggle is far from over.

The UMD's goal is to establish a permanent office in Washington, D.C. with full-time staff to handle its operations. We need to educate policymakers in the international community. We need to reveal the truth about Macedonia before the eyes of the world.

Now is the time to make a difference with a permanent office in the US capital. Those who oppose the UMD’s objectives already have such offices, with staff working full-time to push the anti-Macedonian agenda. It is imperative that we establish the same professional presence on behalf of Macedonia.

To this end, we have set a goal of raising $20,000 by midnight on October 21st. This amount is a portion of what we need to establish a permanent office in Washington -- so we need your help to put us over the top in the next 15 days.

Your contribution will be used to:

• rent office space
• pay a professional staff
• cover the printing costs for the UMD Quarterly, brochures, and other materials
• purchase books such as Human Rights Watch report Denying Human Rights and Ethnic Identity: the Macedonians of Greece for free distribution to policymakers and journalists
• cover P.O. Box, mailing and general office costs

On the other hand, your contributions will NOT be used to fund the positions held by UMD Founders/Board Members, as they are all volunteers.

As you can imagine, the capability of a volunteer-only organization is limited; limited in ways that our political opponents are not.

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO UMD TODAY!

Pledging only takes a few minutes and you will not be charged if UMD does not meet its goal.

Once our goal is reached, all donors who are not yet UMD Members will receive a complimentary 1 year membership to the UMD and a subscription to UMD Quarterly.

Our ancestors fought for a free and independent Macedonia and for the freedom of the Macedonian people. Honor that sacrifice today. Help the UMD continue that struggle into the 21st century.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at dmanevski@umdiaspora.org or 1-(830)-822-0655.

Sincerely yours,

Denis Manevski
Treasurer

Почитувани пријатели,

Благодарејќи на вашата помош Обединетата Македонска Дијаспора напредува во сеопфатните напори ширум светот насочени кон обезбедувањето на слободата, демократијата и просперитетот на Република Македонија. Ова немаше да се оствари без помошта од нашите членови, пријатели и волонтери. Меѓутоа, уште многу работа останува да се заврши.

Промислете со што се соочуваме:

 Две навредливи и пакосни анти-македонски резолуции во Американскиот Конгрес
 Тврдоглаво грчко противење на македонското членство во НАТО и ЕУ
 Продолжено непризнавање на македонското уставно име од страна на Австралија, Франција и други клучни држави
 Насилна и систематска дискриминација против македонските малцинства, особено во Грција и Бугарија.

Иако имаме победено многу битки во изминатите неколку години, борбата е далеку од завршена.

Целта на ОМД е да се отвори постојана канцеларија во Вашингтон каде ќе биде вработен редовен кадар за вршење секојдневни активности. Ние треба да ги едуцираме креаторите на политиката (policymakers) во меѓународната заедница. Треба пред очите на светот да ја обелодениме вистината за македонските прашања.

Сега е време да дејствуваме и направиме разлика преку основање постојана канцеларија во главниот град на Соединетите Американски Држави. Тие што работат против целите и мисијата на ОМД веќе имаат такви канцеларии каде се вработени редовни платени кадри со цел да ја напредуваат нивната анти-македонска агенда.

Неопходно и многу важно е да се воспостави исто такво професионално македонско присуство во Вашингтон!

Со таа цел си поставивме предизвик да собереме $20,000 американски долари до полноќ на 21 oктомври. Ова е само дел од вкупната сума пари потребни за основање постојана канцеларија во Вашингтон – заради тоа ни e потребна ваша помош да собереме уште повеќе во наредните 15 дена.

Вашите донации ќе бидат употребени за:

 Изнајмување на канцeларија
 Плата за вработен(и) професионалец(ци)
 Трошоци за печатење на тримесечното списание на ОМД (UMD Quarterly), брошури и други информативни материјали
 Купување книги, како на пример извештајот на Human Rights Watch со наслов Негирање на Човековите Права и Етничкиот Иденитет: Македонците во Грција, кој ќе се дели на новинари и важни личности од политичката сцена
 Административни трошоци

Вашите донации НЕМА да бидат употребени за плата на основачите и членовите на Управниот Одбор затоа што сите тие се волонтери.

Како што можете лесно да заклучите, капацитетот и својството на било која организација која е предводена само од волонтери е ограничен -- на начин на кој нашите противници не се.

ВЕ МОЛИМЕ ПОМОГНЕТЕ И ПРИДОНЕСЕТЕ ЗА ОМД ДЕНЕС!

Процесот на донирање е краткотраен, а вашите пари нема да бидат одземени од вашата сметка доколку ОМД не успее да ги собере потребните $20,000 до 21 oктомври. Штом оваа цел е остварена, сите донатори кои се уште не се членови на ОМД ќе добијат дополнително едногодишно членство и претплата за тримесечното списанието на ОМД (UMD Quarterly).

Нашите предци се бореа за слободна и независна Македонија и за слободата на македонскиот народ. Оддајте и почит на таа жртва денеска. Помогнете и на ОМД да ја продолжи таа битка во 21-от век.

Доколку имате прашања, ве молиме контактирајте ме на dmanevski@umdiaspora.org или 1-830–822-0655.

Со благодарност, ваш,

Help the Macedonian Cause, by supporting those who work tirelessly and actively to achieve it. Help UMD! Please forward to all your friends and family...

Dear friend,

With Canada 's recent recognition of Macedonia 's constitutional name, along with the United States , China , and Russia , behind us, our will and determination is stronger than ever before. The United Macedonian Diaspora is working tirelessly to move the Macedonian cause forward and has achieved great results, but as an organization of volunteers our capability is limited, whilst the resources of those who oppose our right to self-determination and our human rights have no limits.

We cannot stress enough the importance of an office and full-time employee in Washington DC . Donate $10, $20, $30 or $100 and help UMD to help all Macedonians overcome the continuing challenges they are faced with on a daily basis. e.g. If as few as 200 individuals donate as little as $100.00 each, UMD will meet its goal and be able to establish a permanent Macedonian presence in Washington, D.C.

We need to work on ensuring full support from the international community for our rightful name, particularly those member-states of NATO and the European Union. UMD is actively working on Australia 's eventual recognition of Macedonia 's constitutional name.

Pledge your support today... those who pledge will receive a one-year complimentary membership to UMD, including a subscription to our magazine UMD Quarterly.

We need your support so that we can continue to deliver great results!

Thank you!!!

This is wonderful - 5% in one day! Way to go...

Remembrance - support UMD and let's tell our story

Posted by Anonymous User at 2007-10-06 12:53
I would like to urge everyone to pledge whatever amount you are able to pledge.

As you can see even by some of the comments on this page, we Macedonians today still face abuse by xenophobes and racists who continually deny us of our Rights; only because we desire to freely breathe the same air and express our peaceful culture, like the rest of the world.

I hope the comments (on this page) by those who work actively against the Rights of the Macedonians serve as a reminder as to what the Macedonian Cause is and why we must do whatever we can do support those, such as UMD, who work tirelessly for our people, informing the world about who we are, where we come from and that we do exist, despite those who deny us.

May peace reign upon Macedonia and the World, for as many centuries as the Macedonians have endured torture and tragedy.

Let us finally tell our story. Support UMD.

Congratulations!

English, Macedonian, and . . . Greek?

Posted by Anonymous User at 2007-12-12 12:45
This may sound strange, and possibly even offensive to many Macedonians but I must never-the-less state my unusual request!

Could you in the future also post the text in Greek?

Not for myself, as I do not understand Greek and only a bit of Macedonian. What I am thinking, is that just like my bi-lingual abilities in English and Macedonian, there must be many young Macedonians in Greece who are primarily fluent in Greek, with only limited verbal abilities in Macedonian. If we ever expect the eventual support of Aegean Macedonia, we should begin to speak their (current) language.
