Polonia Appeal
Dear Members and Friends of the Polish American Community: After years of continued hard work of the Polish American Congress on the federal and state levels of government in the matter of securing the admission of Poland to the United States Visa Waiver Program (VWP), our effort has attracted key members of the Illinois Congressional delegation in Washington, DC - notably, Senator Mark Kirk (R) and Congressman Mike Quigley (D) - who pledged to spearhead bipartisan legislation to include Poland in the Program. We must not allow our golden opportunity to become a lost opportunity.
