The 2009 Free National Coalition Platform
Preamble
Given the heterogeneity of our people, the Free National Coalition is truly representative of our people as it consists of members of our community from its various political, sectarian, and sub-ethnic backgrounds. As the forces of alienation and divisiveness are threatening our community, we stand for unity and we renew our pledge, as set forth by our bylaws, to provide educational, humanitarian or social services to all the various integral constituents of our nation.
Accomplishments
Since its inception, the ANCI has been committed to serving our people and has provided them over the years with free services such as: Assyrian language classes, academic and research workshops, refugee aid, citizenship classes, energy assistance program, senior care program, day care center, computer classes, Assyrian periodicals, housing assistance, radio program, summer job training program, scholarship program, tutoring classes, job finding and filling out public aid, social security or immigration forms. Additionally, the ANCI owns three buildings (Kiddie Kollege, office building and the community center) which are all paid off.
As far as charities, we have contributed to benevolent tax-exempt charities such as the Assyrian Aid Society, which created and has nourished a social infrastructure in Bet Nahrain that has sustained our people there since 1991 through: village reconstruction projects, day care centers, providing free healthcare, an entire education system, and rations to our people in times of crisis. It is noteworthy to add that the intricate education system established and maintained by AAS is comprised of free transportation, student housing, books, printing and scholarships to our students.
Objectives
Over the past eight years the ANCI has been able to meet most of its constitutional objectives. Our mission to serve our people, however, is far from over. As candidates of the FNC, we will remain committed to sustaining and expanding the objectives of the ANCI through:
? Maintaining and enhancing our educational programs (ESL classes, Assyrian Language classes, tutoring program)
