vic It seems to be a great idea ,perhaps a Macedonian version could appeal more and be directed at the rom people.In that way more could be achieved.After all we want some sort of revolution in rom.I think the diaspora doesn't need that much educating.What made you select the concept of a league?"Ido not want an uprising of people that would leave me at the first failure, I want revolution with citizens able to bear all the temptations to a prolonged struggle, what, because of the fierce political conditions, will be our guide or cattle to the slaughterhouse"

Thanks, George.
I wish my Macedonian was good enough to easily come up with a Macedonian edition. The other members are also very busy, so I think we don't have the time for that unless more people get involved. Plus, we are trying to focus on Macedonian-Americans because that's where we are at and plan to be for the foreseeable future. If we go too geographically large, it would be harder to focus on the smaller communities.
As far as the concept of a "league", it's just a name for people coming together to achieve a common mission or purpose. Plus, there used to be a Macedonian People's League in the US in the 1930s and 40s. So in a way, I thought we could restart the concept of a people's league in the US, an organization/movement that the people control...that's bottom-up to the greatest extent possible; not top-down.

Thank you both.
SoM: I was just going to get around to you about posting MTF on our Links section. We're trying to limit to a select small but quality list of Macedonian groups/organizations. So thanks, that would be great!
Meanwhile, our most recent newsletter has been added, please pass the word. While this is a group meant for Macedonian Americans, we do believe that Macedonians everywhere could find something of use in here. Appreciate it!
