SAVE COLUMBUS DAY In Utah
by Mama LaGuardia 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

Salt Lake City Utah's Italian Consul Fortunato Anselmo, was the founder of Columbus Day in 1919, this is Italian history in Utah there rewriting, need your help. Hello Everyone: Today I spoke with Senator Allen Christensen ( R ) Utah. We discussed the recent legislation submitted by anti-Columbus forces to transform the Christopher Columbus holiday to Indigenous People's Day in the state of Utah. Myself and my organization the National Italian American Council ( NIAC ) worked closely with Senator Christensen last year to defeat the Bill that was submitted by opposing forces. Senator Christensen is a strong supporter of Columbus, his achievements and what the Columbus holiday stands for and represents to all good Americans. This year we Italian Americans, and supporters of Columbus must be ready once again to stand up and defend the Columbus holiday and parade. Opposing forces of Columbus are relentless, trying to remove everything related to Columbus and his achievements. They are a formidable force to deal with, they are slick and crafty. We, the supporters and advocates of Columbus must remain vigilant, and be prepared to voice our opinions, stand up to the challenge to oppose any legislation anti Columbus activists propose. It is my duty as the President of the National Italian American Council ( NIAC ) and as an Italian American, and a person who truly believes that Columbus not only discovered the new world. But done a great deal to help Native Americans from being slaughtered by other Native tribes, and other cultures. Let the Truth be Told - Columbus was not the slave trader, murderer, and war monger anti-Columbus activists would want the world to believe. Instead Columbus was religious man, honest and on a mission to take back the land that was stolen from the Christians. Today that land is still in the hands of the pirates who forcibly removed it from GOD Loving Christians. I have studied the man for decades, and can honestly say his legacy is being maligned by history revisionist and anti-Columbus activists who have a hidden personal agenda. The anti-Columbus forces have been at work to destroy the reputation of Columbus for decades. Anti-Columbus activists are trying to change American Culture. And it starts with changing history and the way people think. They are making great strides in many parts of the nation. They must be challenged and prevented from succeeding before we witness a complete transformation of our society, watching it slowly turn into something we no longer recognize. If you so believe in this message and want to support the Columbus Movement which is spearheaded by the National Italian American Council go to our website at NIAC - Working to Unite America<http://www.niacusa.com/>. Also look for Us on twitter @ NIAC_ USA / and please contact Senator Allen Christensen and support his efforts in the Senate to defeat the Bill recently submitted by anti-Columbus forces. Senator Christensen can be reached at Achristensen(a)le.utah.gov<mailto:Achristensen@le.utah.gov> or his number 801-710-0315. Also NIAC has a national signature petition to SAVE the Columbus holiday and parade from being terminated. If you go to our website and click Resources - print the petition, complete it and submit to NIAC at PO Box 603, Lombard, IL. 60148. We need the original documents. Make as many copies you wish and get the signatures so we can continue to "Fight the Good Fight" Thank You, Anthony E. La Piana AEL / Founder and President National Italian American Council ( NIAC ) History update ; Salt Lake City Utah's Italian Consul Fortunato Anselmo, from Grimaldi, Italy, functioned not only as a businessman but as a consular agent who aided Italians (and those of other nationalities) in the preparation of official documents and correspondence to be sent abroad. Anselmo worked to have Columbus Day declared an official state holiday in 1919. That first Columbus Day parade in Salt Lake City received wide support and excellent press coverage in the Salt Lake Tribune. So were rewriting the Italian history. I think Charlie needs to educate himself. The Italian consul wanted a parade equal to the pioneer parade. He wanted it for the Italian's to have their own holiday. And he felt Columbus was equal to Joseph Smith as a leader to the New Land read your history, this is not right Charlie <http://www.niacusa.com/> NIAC - Working to Unite America

"Ed" LaGuardia, 1947-2016 Obituary
by Mama LaGuardia 04 Jan '17

04 Jan '17

Obituary James Edward "Ed" LaGuardia, 1947-2016 Ed went to be with the Lord on New Year's Eve morning. He passed away in the comfort of his own home. He was born June 21, 1947 to James Vincent LaGuardia and Dorothy "June" LaGuardia, in Oakland California. Ed graduated from the University of San Francisco and shortly after was employed as their Director of Development. Ed created the annual giving programs that are currently in place today. Ed was recruited by the University of San Diego as Director of Development where he acquired his Masters in business. He then went full-time into fundraising for his family in commercial real estate with Grubb and Ellis. There he performed as one of the top salesman for over 25 years, until he retired. Ed brought his family to Utah, in the very early 1990s. Having had a minor in history, he had a strong love for his Italian cultural heritage. Coming from San Francisco, where the Italian community is a highly visible group, Ed began to look for the Italian community in Salt Lake City. Believing they deserved recognition he started the Italian Center Of The West, hosting free lecture series on Italian culture. In early 2000 he stared the first Italian street fair "Ferragosto" open to the public in downtown Salt Lake City. He would say,"you just had to have an "Italian heart " you do not have to be Italian" to attend! Gathering many Italian historical stories. Ed started working on producing documentaries to preserve and share this almost lost Italian history. As the president of the Italian Center Of The West, Ed was currently working with the producing of the Italian POW's in Utah documentary. Even though he was failing fast Ed was aware and excited about this dream coming forward. Ed was preceded in death by his sister Patricia Ann Murray. Ed is survived by his parents, sister Julia Ann Brehm, Wife, married to "Jinger" Virginia Alane Bennett 1976, and their three children. First daughter Regena Nicole LaGuardia Persinger, husband Michael James Persinger, children Angelina Nicole, Christopher James, Victoria Isabella Persinger. Second daughter Genevieve Antoinnette LaGuardia Boggi husband Bruno Boggi children, Sienna Nikole, and Christian Alexander Boggi. Son, James Anthony LaGuardia, married to Autumn Patricia Palmer LaGuardia, soon to give Ed his 6th grandchild this May, a son. As a son, husband, father, businessman and friend, Ed transcended the values and love of God. His generosity and joy of giving was unprecedented and will be remembered for generations - he will be missed. A celebration of life Mass, will be said January 14, 11 o'clock at Saint Ambrose, 2315 East Redondo Ave. Salt Lake City, Utah 84108 and will be live streamed, on YouTube through the Italian Center, "Utah Cultural News" link (www.youtube.com/channel/UCiiFtjXbKq64ABbsaKd3hTg<http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiiFtjXbKq64ABbsaKd3hTg>) In lieu of flowers online contributions to Ed's project of preserving the Italian POW history can be donated at (www.UtahCulturalNews.com <http://www.UtahCulturalNews.com> ) Or mailed to ICW, PO. Box 3802, Salt Lake City, UT 84101-3802 and is tax deductible Thank you.
