Indeed. in championing liberty. freedom. and democracy. our forefathers drew heavily from the ideas of Greek civilization. The second reason. and equally important. is the Order of AHEPA. AHEPA has stood ready. anxious. and willing to give Greek immigrants training in the fundamentals of our system of government. Also. it has emphasized that they should become naturalized American citizens as soon as law permits and should participate to the fullest extent in political life and the other aspects of life iin this country. In North Carolina. where there are 11 congressional districts. I feel it is convincing evidence of the GreekAmerican communities participation in the political life of our State to note that 2 of the districts will have Democratic candidates for Congress in November who are of Hellenic descentNick Galifianakis. of Durham. and John Plumides. of Charlotte. both outstanding attorneys.
