Hi I ask for your good wishes

[gopiscrap]

this may not be important to others but it is important to me. Last year just as my wife and I were going to go to Greece to work in a refugee camp, I was put on the no fly list and had my naturalization as a US citizen questioned by trump's State Department. I had to go before a judge to get it straightened out. I testify today at the US House about being put on the no fly list and also about having the validity of my naturalization challenged. It will be part of the supporting documents on trump's abuse of power if they have article in the impeachment case about that. Wish me luck. Thanks.

16. That's a rotten thing to happen to you

But at least it gives you the opportunity to contribute your nail into the rethugs' coffin.

And thanks very much for working with refugees. Not many people help those who were dealt the worst situation humans endure.

Best of luck to you.

Since my husband is also a naturalized citizen, I'm curious what the basis was for hassling you.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

49. I wish you luck AND our nation.

This was once an issue the GOP would be concerned about. There must be a few Repub reps that still prioritize protecting patriots such as yourself, who do good works as immigrants. It may even be a backdoor way to their consciences.

[BumRushDaShow]

50. Good luck!

And you will be a great ambassador for this issue and are the premier 1-man DU new user welcoming committee!!!!

66. Good luck! I was put on that damn BS "No Fly List" for 16 years!

I have a very generic, common name that allegedly was used by a Terrorist from Yemen in 2001. I had guns pulled on me in an airport, missed flights, and a lot of harassment. In the later years after 2001, the people working for the airlines would not bat an eye. Before, they would speak out a code phrase which would have someone call security. I would then be stuck next to a cop for however long it would take them to clear me. My bags would be searched and x-rayed multiple times as would my person. The FBI agent assigned to me due to this delaying other travelers to clear me faster would never answer his phone.

The system had no due process for me to get off of the list as a natural born U.S. citizen. I was told to either put up with it; change my name; or stop flying.

A few years ago they talked about restricting the gun rights of the people on the list. I went and got a concealed carry permit though I still don’t own a gun. I used to to try and prove I was not the Yemeni terrorist, otherwise how would I pass the background check.

Hope you convince them that their list is complete crap!
