PRESS RELEASE - NANCY PELOSI Contact: Mike Ghouse (214) 325-1916 Dallas, Texas. Friday, September 8, 2006. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi was rather pleased at the proposal of Unity Day USA, to commemorate the tragedy of 9/11 and celebrate the Unity of Americans. She was excited with the idea of introducing the bill in the house to proclaim 9/11 as Unity day USA. I spoke with the house democratic leader Nancy Pelosi this morning, after she addressed a gathering of Dallas Walla’s. She talked about 9/11 and said that she and her party are inviting the President and his party to join together on the steps of the capital Hill and express unity and solidarity to the nation by singing the American National Anthem, as they did five years ago. The idea of the Unity Day USA has come now, we hope, we can pursue this to have Nancy Pelosi introduce a bill to make UNITY DAY USA, a national Holiday. The Foundation for Pluralism, the World Muslim Congress and Muslims of North Texas are hosting the 2nd Annual UNITY DAY USA. You are cordially invited to part take in the ceremonies commemorating the tragedy and celebrating the Unity of Americans on this day. Peace, prosperity and security for every American is our vision. In order to achieve that, we need to remain connected to one another; we need to come together as one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all. UNITY DAY USA was born to express our vision, that each one of the 297,018,658 of us is part of the American mosaic. This event is a step towards fulfillment of that vision.
Mike Ghouse, the president of the Foundation for Pluralism is committed to making this day a national holiday " God willing this day will become the day for national unity, where every American of different affiliations will come together on this day to re-affirm his or her commitment to making America a peaceful, secure and a prosperous nation, that is my dream" On September 11, 2007, we are planning hosting the UNITY DAY USA in ten (10) Cities all across America.
