Dear Congresswoman Anna Eshoo,

I wanted to congratulate you on your great achievements in the U.S Congress. However, I wanted to also give my sincere opinion to your latest representation of the Assyrians in Iraq. You have for some reason misrepresented the name of the Assyrians as CaldoAssyrian or AssyrianCaldean. I wanted to add that our ancient roots come from the Assyrian Empire. I would like for you to not use the compounded name which will jeopardize the Assyrians of Iraq by calling them Assyrian chaldeans or use other compounded names to identify our Assyrian people in Iraq. I am an Assyrian myself and I hold very preciously my name and Identity which is under attack to undermine my people's heritage, culture and ethnic rights in their homeland. The Assyrians have always used the name ASSYRIAN to be used to identify the people which are the indigenous people of modern day Iraq (ancient Assyria).

I would always support you on your quest to better serve our American Nation and to also serve our Assyrian nation as well. God Bless you.


Regards
