An Appeal
 Dear Friends and supporters,
This past August 7, 2008 I ran the first ever major party run for U.S. Congress on an Anti-Sharia Platform. I knew it would be controversial but necessary in this age of increased worldwide Jihadist activities. Tennessee voters selected my opponent to be the standard bearer for the Republican Party in the general election.
As you well know, especially those of you who have either fled totalitarian regimes or live in nations where your freedoms are being encroached upon, many societies are slow to wake up to the patient march of demographic invasion.

Thank you Dear Friends and Supporters,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support of my campaign - especially my wife and children who have stood by me as I undertook this election challenge. In the August 7, 2008 Primary, you and your fellow Republicans spoke with your votes. I congratulate Gerard Donovan for winning the Republican nomination for the 5th Congressional District.
Before immigrating to America 29 years ago, as a foreign worker, I witnessed the fall of Iran into the totalitarian state it has become. The political struggle that now exists in India, the land where I was born began with some of the same compromises I see happening in the American congress.

Energy Policy
America’s energy policy is not just an economic issue. It is also a foreign policy issue, a national security issue, and an environmental issue. Meeting the energy needs of this nation involves weighing such disparate concerns as employment, technological development, and sustainability. Despite the complexities involved, it is abundantly clear that America is far too dependent on foreign oil, and this dependency has grave and far-reaching consequences. The energy policies we have maintained for the past forty years are hurting us today, and will cripple us in the future.

How Not to Wage a War on Terror
I have read with interest “Time to draw down troop levels in Iraq” (Tennessean op-ed, April 18, 2008), in which Congressman Jim Cooper reduces the global war on terror to a career struggle between two American generals. Mr. Cooper is missing the broader point.
He fails to grasp the nature of the enemy, which is crucial to winning a war on terror. Terrorism is a technique, a method, and not an end in itself. The end-goal of global terrorism, Universal Jihad rather, is an absolute and universal conquest of the “infidel” world. It is not merely a war against the United States and coalition forces; it is a crisis wherein the very existence of Western civilization is threatened.

Legal Immigrant Runs for US Congress to Fight Illegal Immigration
Vijay Kumar, a Bellevue resident, is running for the Republican nomination in the August 7th primary for the 5th US Congressional district, presently held by Rep. Jim Cooper (D). A legal immigrant who has lived in Nashville for twenty-one years, Mr. Kumar’s platform emphasizes a strict immigration policy that centers on enforcing existing laws and protecting our borders, helping the U.S. develop a broad strategy to win the war against terrorism, promoting energy independence, and pro-life and pro-family legislation.
“As an immigrant, I know firsthand the value of what it means to come to America lawfully. I am grateful for being given the opportunity to live the American dream.” says the Indian American sales professional.

 'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
----- Theodore Roosevelt, 1907
