Letter to Mark Brzezinski, Ambassador of the United States to Poland

Date: January 8th, 2022

The Honorable Mark Brzezinski,
Ambassador of the United States to Poland

RE: Meeting with Polonia organizations

Dear Mr. Ambassador:

Coalition of Polish Americans would like to express our gratitude to you for meeting with us and other Polonia organizations on January 7th via webex. Our organization has its roots in Polish American Congress and aims to supplement this historical and renowned organization.

As we mentioned in our meeting one of our organization’s major goals is to support well qualified Polish Americans for senior positions in administration. We are thankful to the current administration for nominating you. We hope the Republican party pays attention. Despite our political differences we hold strict belief that our common historical roots will be a base of your successful term as Ambassador. The tragic history of Poland makes Poles from all sides of political spectrum understand that certain traits are unbreakable. In light of this we believe that Polish people and Polish Americans support:

1. Poland’s security. Poland must be secured from foreign intervention and threats from Russia and her allies (current Belarus border crisis).
2. The rule of law in international relations. Poland must be free from pressure from European Union and international courts usurping to themselves rights in violation of international treaties and infringing on Poland’s sovereignty.
3. Ownership of media. We believe that Poland has the right to severely restrict the foreign ownership of media to protect her interests like all major countries in the world did. We believe that after suitable period of time (50 years) such restrictions could be slowly removed if the situation warrants it.
4. Reform of judiciary. We strongly believe that Poland must reform its judiciary. Polish judiciary transferred without any modifications from communism, where it played crucial role in prosecuting Poles during Stalin and Martial Law repressions of Polish people. Today it is a closed caste that needs to be broken and reforms based on regulations similar to other democratic countries with long traditions of independent judiciary must proceed. We support PAC resolution to this effect adopted on September 27, 2017. Almost nothing changed since this time, the caste resistance supported by foreign influence is strong.
5. Definition of family. We support Polish government efforts to allow Polish people to define what constitutes a family. The destruction of traditional family is not accepted in Poland, and it must not be forced on Poland from abroad.

We hope you will stand with us on these issues.

Leszek Pawlik
