MPO NO LONGER PART OF 2010 CENSUS PROJECT COALITION
National.
The United Macedonian Diaspora (UMD) today announced that the so called "Macedonian Patriotic Organization" (MPO) is no longer part of the Macedonian-American 2010 Census Project Coalition for the 2010 United States Census.
“UMD led efforts to form the coalition so that several Macedonian-American groups could work for a common cause – an accurate count of Macedonian-Americans. Unfortunately, the MPO deviated from that goal by calling on its members to identify themselves as something other than Macedonian on U.S. Census forms,” said UMD President Metodija A. Koloski, who continued “After discussions amongst members, the Coalition determined that the MPO should no longer be included in the Coalition which is continuing its efforts to educate Macedonian-Americans of the importance of participating in the Census and to respond in a consistent manner to questions relating to race, ethnicity and national origin.”
Members of the Coalition now include Friends of Macedonia, the Macedonian American Cultural Organization of New England, the Macedonian American Friendship Association, the Macedonian Arts Council, the Macedonian Mission for Humanity, the Macedonian Orthodox Philanthropic Society of Columbus, Ohio, and UMD.
The American-Canadian Macedonian Orthodox Diocese, has given its blessing to the Coalition’s efforts and Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Atseff (USA, Ret.), a first generation Macedonian-American, continues his service as Director of the Coalition.

The MPO should be disbanded! They are nothing but an organization consisting of bulgarian slavs and bulgarofils. These idiots don't believe in the existence of ethnic Macedonians and wish for the extinction of ethnic Macedonians and an independent Macedonia. They are no different to these so called 'greek macedonians', whatever that means...

Macedonia will never change its name. Macedonia 4 the Macedonians
We have always been Macedonians and Macedonians we will be forever.
If Macedonia changes its name you would have Serenaded our Identity and our Heritage. Greece is not losing anything they dont have to change a thing we already changed our flag and now our countries name. Macedonians dont Believe these people they dont care about us or our country how do we know if we change our name we will enter nato and the eu. We Still have to hold Talks they might just say no after all this Actions speak Lowered then words. We are not guaranteed anything don't be fooled. Its all a set up for us to change our name we will never enter nato and eu wake up. They dont want us in if they did we would have been in already because the other countries would have worked harder to make it happen not to just say we support you. These obsticals are not even valid they dont apply to become a member but it only applies to us. Read Between the lines they dont want us in.
Macedonians forever.

Yes I agree Macedonia needs to concentrate whats happening in it backyard. You do not need Natio/EU keep your own resources and don't sell your history and culture, you will pay for it later.
