Map of N.R.E.E.N.C.A Countries. Why is the country I care about colored differently?

What is the A.N.H.A?

We are first and foremost a political pressure group including a voting bloc of American citizens who have family histories from, or any other strong connection to, NREENCA countries/cultures/peoples and who are willing to agree to vote single issue for the continued existence of those countries/cultures/peoples in some U.S. elections where that existence is threatened.

We are secondarily a research and education organization that studies and then teaches the history and politics of the region, and we operate full time (all of the time) in this capacity.

And third we are an educational resource as we earnestly believe the American people would agree with us on all core issues if they knew more about the region.

Do I need NREENCA heritage to join?

Of course not! We are more than happy to have anyone who wishes to help protect the lives and liberty of 260 million people and 28 unique languages and cultures.

But please be sure you understand the difference between joining the voting bloc (becoming a voting member) and joining the broader organization (becoming a non-voting member) through helping us in some other way and choose the correct option for you!

To understand the voting block please read the next couple bullet points, to understand other ways to join look further down the page!

What is the ANHA voting bloc?

By signing onto our voting bloc, you agree to cast your vote for the ANHA endorsed candidate(s) in any election in which the ANHA has mobilized the vote.

Even if its against my typical party and/or personal preferences? Yes, of course. The purpose of our organization is to demonstrate that we are an important constituency in American politics and that if our politicians decide to abandon the countries we care about, especially to suffer loss of independence and/or cultural genocide, that their decision to do so will hurt them electorally.

Our voting members who would have voted otherwise or not at all if not for our organization are the most important to this mission.

What is vote mobilization?

In some, hopefully incredibly rare, US elections our research team will determine that one of the candidates, if elected, poses an existential threat to some specific NREENCA country. In this case we will endorse that candidate’s opponent and mobilize the vote.

This is an incredibly high bar; it means our research team believes the entire independent state and/or the unique culture and language and/or the physical existence of a NREENCA people is under threat.

When this bar is reached, and we declare a vote mobilization it means all our voting members must vote for our endorsed candidate and we begin to canvas and phone bank on behalf of our endorsed candidate.

In any/all elections in which we have not mobilized the vote, our voting members are free to vote their conscious or not at all.

How is that different from endorsement?

In some elections we may endorse a candidate but not mobilize. We do this to give our members and any other interested parties the benefit of our professional research team’s opinion on which candidate is better for NREENCA countries so that any/all interested voters can add that to their considerations while making a decision. But our voting members are still free to vote their conscious, including against our endorsed candidate.

Important Note: We hope all of our members take our endorsements very seriously. Mobilization is a very high bar and even situations which approach very close to existential but do not cross that line will be endorsed but not mobilized.

The 3 options in any given election are:

1. neither endorse nor mobilize, this means that our research team believes that all candidates are equally good and/or equally bad for NREENCA countries/cultures/peoples

2. We endorse but do not mobilize (most common) this means that our research team believes that one candidate, the one we endorsed is (in some cases very significantly) better for some specific NREENCA country/culture/people but that the election of the worse candidate does not reach the high bar of existential for that NREENCA country/culture/people.

3. We endorse and mobilize, our research team believes that if the candidate we did not endorse were to win it could lead to the end of an independent NREENCA country, a distinct NREENCA culture, and/or the physical existence of a NREENCA people. It means we all must do whatever we can to prevent that from happening.

Examples?

In the 2024 election the ANHA has endorsed Harris/Walz and mobilized the vote. Our research team believes that Trump/Vance, if elected, pose an existential risk to the NREENCA country and culture of Ukraine. All voting members must vote Harris/Walz, and we will be phone banking and canvassing with/on behalf of the Harris/Walz Campaign.

The 2008 invasion of NREENCA country Georgia and the 2014 illegal annexation of Crimea from NREENCA country Ukraine during subsequent Obama terms and his administrations’ Chamberlain appeasement of these acts of unprovoked aggression would’ve caused the ANHA to endorse his opponent in the strongest terms. However, we would not have mobilized the vote. That is not to say our team does not believe Obama’s actions lead us to the existential situation one and maybe both of those countries are in today, it is to say at the time of his reelection, the situation did not reach the incredibly high bar of “existential threat”. This example is not to say we go easy on Obama/Democrats, it is to say please take our endorsements seriously even when we don’t mobilize. A situation which is not existential in one election can very quickly become so by the next.

Allowing 11 NREENCA Countries to join NATO and bringing an end to the genocide of NREENCA people Bosnians/preventing one of NREENCA people Kosovars (though we will say under no uncertain terms that this action should have happened sooner) would cause Bill Clinton to receive the strongest endorsement of any president in US history. That record is completely unparalleled, even our researchers who put Regan second out of a belief his pressure on Gorbachev caused Gorbachev to introduce Glasnost and Perestroika (unverifiable and therefore debated issue within our research team) put Clinton first. However, his case is also the most interesting, because Clinton’s record is only so good because of pressure from the right. Upon his potential reelection Clinton was facing opponents saying that if he didn’t, then they would, do all of those wonderful things for NREENCA peoples! That is what forced him to act or risk losing reelection. It is a near perfect model for the way the ANHA would like to effect US politics going forward. We don’t wish to cause either party to win more/less, we want both parties to be arguing over how good they will be on the issues we care about.

I don’t want to or can’t commit to the voting bloc, or I’m already in the voting block but want to help beyond on Nov 5th. What else can I do?

Help in any way you can! Even sharing this website with a single friend can help our mission!

Feel free to call us at 833-777-ANHA or email us at nreenca@gmail.com with any creative ideas for how you could help!

We are also always looking for family stories of NREENCA Americans, if that’s you, email it to nreenca@gmail.com with the subject “Family Story” and we will feature it on the family stories section of anha.wiki with whatever form of attribution (socials, real name, pseudonym) or lack thereof (anonymous) you prefer!

Outside of that read below for any of the types of help we are looking for!

We are entirely volunteer run so non-voting members are just as important to our organization as voting members!

*Unfortunately, if you are not an American citizen you are not allowed to help outside of maybe emailing translation or cultural errors in our advertisements/educational materials to nreenca@gmail.com. Outside of basic feedback we cannot accept your help because this is an organization by and for American citizens and pertaining to American Politics.

What does membership mean?

It means we consider you an essential part of our effort and the reason we are able to accomplish what we do.

What does membership get you? If you’re of NREENCA heritage or for some other reason feel strongly connected to any NREENCA country it gets you solidarity, knowing that today we help Ukraine but tomorrow, if need be, we will help you. That united we have a voice our politicians must listen to.

If you don’t have said strong connection, then for now, nothing but the knowledge that you are doing a good thing for a lot of people and issues you care about and that we wouldn’t be where we are without you. A chance to meet other people with similar values and work together towards a common goal. And gain experience that you may be able to take into a new career direction with a positive recommendation.

In the future when we begin to receive donations, we can begin to send small tokens of appreciation like pins, T-shirts, etc. Nothing so expensive or intensive that it takes away from our work and goals but something to show you are appreciated. NOTE: only to our non-voting members!!!! Because of laws around U.S. elections meant to prevent people from buying votes/bribing voters we can never send anything of monetary value to our voting members as least as far as our current understanding.

“This organization was founded in dedication to my grandfather who came to America with nothing, not even a country he could ever go back to, because of unprovoked Russian aggression.

Stalin’s agreement with Hitler to split Eastern Europe between them made my and many other families into penniless and stateless refugees. It was far from the worst thing that either of those monsters did, but it had a huge impact on my family the reverberations of which are still felt today.

The 20th Century was brutal and bloody, and like every century before Russia picked on and bullied all of its neighbors, because it could. Because it was strong, and they were weak, and it was an era where might made right.

For my grandfather, and for everyone else like him, for all victims of the 20th century of all backgrounds, we say NO MORE! We say the 21st century must be different.”
