„Stimate d-le Secretar de Stat:
In calitate de cetateni Americani dorim sa vedem America din nou Mare si Puternica. In acelasi timp, dorim sa vedem si tara noastra natala reintregita si o aliata puternica a Americii. In prezent, Romania reprezinta deja un pivot important al politicii SUA in Europa de Est si in ultimii ani trupele romanesti au luptat si s-au sacrificat impreuna de cele Americane in Orientul Mijlociu…
Cu toate acestea, una din cele mai delicate probleme romanesti, anume Basarabia, a fost insa ignorata de administratiile Americane anterioare. Fosta provincie romaneasca a fost ocupata de URSS in urma protocoalelor secrete ale pactului Ribbenrop-Molotov din August 1939. Cea mai mare parte a provinciei a fost transformata intr-o republica sovietica care dupa dizolvarea URSS-ului in 1991 a devenit Republica Moldova. Majoritatea locuitorilor acestei republici sunt etnci romani si dorinta lor de a se reuni cu Romania este in continua crestere…
Domnule Secretar, la inceputul lunii Octombrie, George Simion, cetatean roman si secretar general al organizatiei Actiunea 2012 care militeaza pentru reunificarea Republicii Moldova cu Romania, a fost retinut, abuzat si maltratat fizic de autoritatile de la Chisinau. In plus, i s-a interzis sa reintre in Republica Moldova pe o perioada de cinci ani…
In numele comunitatii de origine romana din Statele Unite protestam categoric fata de un asemenea act si cerem Departamentului de Stat sa ia atitudine in apararea natiunii romane.
Ne exprimam totodata convingerea ferma ca reunificarea Romaniei este iminenta! Cu cat Washingtonul intelege mai repede acest lucru si Depatamentul de Stat actioneza in mod corespunzator, cu atat mai bine pentru interesele nationale ale Statelor Unite.”

Dear Mr. Secretary:
We write you as loyal Americans who want to see America great again. At the same time and as citizens of Romanian origin we also want to see our native country great and an ever stronger ally of the United States. Romania is currently a staunch American friend and one of the main pivots of U.S. policy in Eastern Europe. In recent years, for example, Romanian troops fought and sacrificed together with the American troops in the Middle East.
One of the most delicate Romanian issues that have been ignored by the previous U.S. administrations is Bessarabia, a former Romanian province that was separated from Romania by the secret provisions of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939. This part of Romania became a Soviet Republic and then, after the collapse of the Soviet Union in August 1991, the independent Republic of Moldova. Most of the inhabitants of this area are ethnic Romanians and their desire to reunite with Romania is ever growing.
Mr. Secretary, at the beginning of October, George Simion, a Romanian citizen and the General Secretary of the Actiunea 2012, a Romanian organization that advocates the reunification of Moldova with Romania, while travelling through Moldova was detained by the Moldovan authorities, was abused and maltreated, and was banned for five years to reenter Moldova.
On behalf of the American community of Romanian origin we protest strongly against such acts and ask the Department of State to take a stand in defense of the Romanian nation.
In our deep conviction, the sooner Washington understands that reunification of the Romanian nation is imminent, and the sooner the State Department acts correspondingly, the better for America’s national security interests.
Sincerely
Prof. Dr. Nicholas Dima
