West Palm Beach, FL – March 1, 2006 – Today, 2008 Presidential Candidate Daniel Imperato spoke out about Dubai Ports World and the recent Arab show of civility towards the recent controversy over the British P&O buyout.

“Once again the Middle East and the Arab people show their customs in allowing our president George W. Bush and our administration the time necessarily to complete the necessary investigations pertaining to the ports deal. This is a typical Arab gesture which is in accordance with mutual respect for leadership. This clearly shows the world the class of the UAE government to utilize diplomacy and courteousness with their eloquent gesture,” stated Imperato.

Recently Dubai Ports World offered to allow further review to alleviate US legislators’ national security concerns about handing management of the ports to a company owned by the Dubai government.

“Upon receipt of the new notification, CFIUS (the committee on foreign investment in the US) will promptly initiate the review process, and fulfill DP World’s request for a full investigation,” the agency said at the weekend.

The request, made with the US unit of UK Company Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation (P&O), gives the White House time to convince congress not to block the $6.85bn deal.

“We are confident the further review … will confirm DP World’s acquisition of P&O’s US operations does not pose any threat to America’s safety and security,” said Ted Bilkey, chief operating officer of DP World.

Imperato felt that whether DP World or any other company was running the ports, security needed to be upgraded. jjj

“In addition,” Imperato said, “the real issue here is not whether the British owned P&O Company who has allowed our ports and their security to go downhill, and if in fact the potential security breach that is being questioned is related to Dubai Ports Takeover of P&O. I would like to stand up to tell the American people and our administration that the security of the ports whether owned by P&O or Dubai ports must increase drastically and be upgraded to today’s standards, no matter who owns P&O.”

However, despite the positive cooperation of DP World, Imperato felt that the US Government should have assisted an American company to finance the acquisition of P&O so that “our American people can operate the ports, our homeland security can be part of the operation and we can increase jobs for the American people. We could control our security and be proud that our American company took control of the P&O Company and puts back the American brand on our ports.”

Imperato concluded his remarks with the following, “I particularly would like to ask the people of the United States of America to lean on our administration and our president George W. Bush to reveal the facts about the preexisting arrangement and that, in this case, the devil may be in the detail. The multimillion dollar question is who is behind the ports deal? What lobby firm worked on behalf of the deal? And who was associated in positioning Dubai Ports to Take over P&O.”

West Palm Beach, FL – February 28, 2006 – Today 2008 White House Contender Daniel Imperato brought the current situation in Yemen to the attention of the Bush Administration and the American people.

“I call on our administration and our president George W. Bush to take a serious look toward Yemen. In these times of strategic positioning of foreign governments controlling and managing ports around the world, I stick particular importance to the port of Yemen and the country of Yemen,” stated Imperato.

“I call on our president George W. Bush to act swiftly and vigorously towards the present administration and the country of Yemen. In accordance with the release of prisoners from the USS Cole terrorist attacks that cost the American people millions and millions to capture and now have been set free, brings particular attention to the government of Yemen and their positioning.”

Imperato pointed to the history of the region and the interest of other nations such as Russia.

“The history of Yemen has been that of a very strong strategic position pertaining to the previous war with Russia and the interest that Russia had in the region. I specifically state that history should not repeat itself and that the current situation in Yemen shows clearly the potential inability for the administration of Yemen to maintain the relations needed with the USA in order to securitize ports in Yemen, which is strategically positioned between East Africa and the Middle East,” explained Imperato.

Because of its strategic position, Imperato felt that Yemen could be used as the gateway for many inappropriate activities.

“The strategic country of Yemen could be used as the gateway to terrorism, illegal drug trafficking, and inappropriate shipping of materials that may be hazardous to the world. The government of Yemen has been playing a very interesting role. They have been appeasing our President George W. Bush, who is blinded by the fact that the money being spent may have not been for the interest of America or that of the region. Yemen has also taken money from countries such as France, but behind the scenes the most important issue is that money that possibly could be coming into the country that may be from terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda, who would like to see Yemen and the region in turmoil” asserted Imperato.

According to Imperato, the US needs to step up and play a larger role with the government of Yemen in order to prevent the spread of future potential inappropriate activities.

“I believe that the Prisoners of War left in the Yemen jails, may have set free deliberately and that our President George W. Bush must pay serious attention and must denounce this activity and must address the current leadership. Bush must make sure that if he doesn’t want the spread of drug trafficking, the spread of money laundering, the spread of terrorism, which is already being uprooted in the East African countries. He must act now.”

“Then George W. Bush must stop the escalating situation and negotiate with the leadership in Yemen and make sure that the current leadership adheres to US policy and protect US interests in the region for the people and the citizens of Yemen. The current leadership in Yemen should not be renewed by the citizens of Yemen if the leadership do not step up their security and compliment US strategy for the region” expressed Imperato.

The United States, in Imperato’s estimation, needs to support an administration in Yemen that has a positive plan to benefit the region and the world.

“The President of the United States of America must support an administration in the country of Yemen that has proven relations with the United States of America, with the interest of the USA and everyone at hand, specifically the people and the citizens of Yemen. We need an administration that has the ability and desire to curb the evolution of the country of Yemen’s direction which could be going the wrong way.”

Imperato concluded his statement with the following remarks, “Mark my words President George W. Bush, if you don’t nip this in the bud, East Africa will get out of control. I ask our administration and the administration in Yemen to come together and make sure that incidents like jailbreak don’t happen again to protect its citizens of Yemen, the people in the region and to collaborate with the United States of America for better security.”

West Palm Beach, FL – February 28, 2006 – Today, 2008 White House Candidate Daniel Imperato sent his condolences to the people of the Phillippines after the recent mudslides that occurred in the remote farming community of Guinsaugon, about 675km south-east of Manila.

“My heartfelt sympathies go out to the families of those affected by the recent mudslides. I know the families of those lost are in a world of pain, and hope and pray that they can find strength to move forward,” expressed Imperato.

The search for survivors from the deadly February 17 Philippine mudslide was called off as rescue workers gave up hope for nearly a thousand people buried under a huge crust of earth and debris, a senior official said on Saturday.

Imperato wanted the Filipino people to know that the world is behind them.

“I send my full support to the Filipino people and want them to know that the world is behind them. In this time of tragedy, I call on President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo of the Philippines, to stand tall and to be a light and show the rest of the world the strength of the Filipino people,” stated Imperato.

West Palm Beach, Fl – February 23, 2006 – Today, 2008 White House Candidate Daniel Imperato (www.daniel2008.com) elaborated on the diplomatic fumbles of Condoleezza Rice in the Israel/Palestinian Conflict.

“I would like to point out to the people of the USA, that our Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice made her greatest debut announcing her wonderful deal in the Gaza Strip some months ago pertaining to opening up the passageway between Israel and the Palestinians.”

The deal, brokered by Rice, allowed for the passageway of Palestinians into the Gaza Strip and also cleared the way for Hamas to vote in the elections.

“Once again this situation has proven to be detrimental to the region and has proven to be inappropriate at the present times. The USA has been supporting the Palestinian efforts and fueling and funding the Palestinians.”

Recent reports have shown the US has been a long-time supporter of the Palestinian Liberation Authority (PLA), with receipts totaling some $400 million of contributions to the Organization.

“Unfortunately the money has not been spent on the people of Palestine. The money has been spent in the area of weaponry in terrorist organizations, basically training the youth and taking advantage of the poor young people. They are manipulating the youth to develop their mindset of hatred of Israel, hatred of the world and peace in it, and have stunted the intelligence of these young children through terrorism, suicide attacks and war,” stated Imperato.

“Now our administration finds out that the money we’ve been fueling the Palestinians with has not been spent properly. In addition, while the USA and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice were supportive of democracy in the region and demanded that Israel allows Hamas to vote in the election in a democratic way. They now stand up to say that we will not support Hamas, the democratically elected government of Palestine.”

Imperato suggested that our lack of knowledge of the region has led to the recent problems encountered by our administration.

“We are invested in the Palestinians, built up Hamas through the Palestinians, allowed them and supported them to vote, and basically dropped the ball. It shows once again that our administration and its diplomatic approach to Middle East politics is completely inappropriate, flip-flopped, and being undermined by the very region based upon the weakness of our administration’s capabilities. This is clearly because of our administration’s inexperience in the region and inability to be able to measure and study the region as it should have been studied long before.

Additionally, Imperato also called on George W. Bush to work with the Arab League for peace.

“I once again call on our president George W. Bush and our administration to call on the Arab League. Our administration must listen to the Arab League’s point of view and participate with their leadership to digest the strategic studies of the Arab League’s understanding of the region and its conflicts. We must embrace the Arab League’s leadership and collaborate with them in diffusing the situation that is growing towards negative dangerous results in the Middle East and for the rest of the world.”

West Palm Beach, FL – February 22, 2006 – In response to the recent port sale controversy, 2008 US Presidential Contender Daniel Imperato reminded us that the real argument is not whether the United Arab Emirates (UAE) should run our ports, but rather whether any foreign company or foreign government should do so.

“First of all, I would like to take the time to explain to the citizens of the USA the deal pertaining to the US ports being taken over by the UAE government owned company. It is very disturbing not because it’s the UAE or the Dubai based company but because America is selling out,” stated Imperato.

The issue at hand is the $5.8 billion sale of the London-based Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company – a private firm which had run commercial operations at six key U.S. ports – to the government-owned Dubai Ports World.

Imperato felt that our government was not taking responsibility for our ports, and lacked fiscal responsibility.

“Our country is in so much debt, both publicly and foreign, and our deficit is so high that our government is nearly bankrupt. Our administration continues to spend money like drunken sailors. Our leadership in this country has gone from organized, protective, with pride and privilege, to hog-wild spending, confusion, mixed signals, and inappropriate governance pertaining to the security of the United States and the people in it,” explained Imperato.

Many congressmen in the US House and Senate have been opposed to the deal on the grounds that the UAE has involvement with terrorism.

Imperato strongly disagreed with those who are misinformed and who fail to realize that the UAE is an important country to the stability of the Middle East region and has been one of our best allies against terror.

“First of all, the UAE is one of the finest countries and governments in the world. They support their people. They give government housing. The ruling family of the country is supportive of all. The country is growing leaps and bounds and the government is stronger than most. The leadership of the UAE pertaining to the region is remarkable and the region should take note of their success.”

“The port issue should not be misconstrued again as our administration has been misconstruing it. The Democrats and Republicans continue to throw stones and label countries and religions, constantly mixing the two. Once again I am highly offended at the administration’s actions and the Democrats and Republicans’ rhetoric.”

The real issue at hand for Imperato was that the United States of America was ‘selling out’.

“The USA and its people should clearly understand that the port deal has nothing to do with whether the UAE is safe and secure. It has to do with the fact that no US port should be operated by any foreign government or foreign company. The United States of America is selling out because it doesn’t have the money or the resources to expand its government interests around the world as others do,” asserted Imperato.

Another sign that the US is running out of money is the fact that it has not properly funded port security.

Earlier this month, the president of the American Association of Port Authorities complained that the $708 million allotted for maritime security over the past four years amounted to only one-fifth of what the port authorities had identified as needed to properly secure the ports.

This has lead to improper, under-funded, port security that causes cargo to go unchecked when entering our nation, a major security breach.

“While the British P&O company controls our ports that are in disaster, our friend Lou Dobbs says on the CNN reports along with some of the senators state that our ports are very vulnerable and that a large percentage of cargo goes unchecked,” stated Imperato.

“We should continue to tell the world that we are at risk. We should continue to allow other governments to reinvest their money and their capital in the energy sector and the shipping sector while America continues to spend its money digging holes that they can’t get out of, making recommendations of leadership in countries which we have no control over, and allowing the world to get ahead of us,” explained Imperato.

Imperato went on to state that if the UAE didn’t buy the ports, another government would have.

“The fact remains that if it wasn’t the UAE and the Dubai based company, it would have been a Chinese based company or a Singapore based company who would have been buying all of the ports. If you look at the history, the ports around the world have been up for sale and have been operated by other organizations and foreign companies for a long period of time,” said Imperato.

According to Imperato, it was time for American companies to step up and take a real interest and ownership in America.

“The USA is vulnerable not because of the UAE, but because our own country and our own companies are not even interested in protecting our homeland and putting up the capital necessary to make our homeland the most secure homeland in the world. No. Our companies and the leadership in those companies are more interested in shipping jobs offshore, hiring immigrant labor, and allowing their companies and their visions of their companies to sell out America,” stated Imperato.

Doing business with the UAE was not the problem in Imperato’s view, in fact, it was a good idea. The real problem is that we neglected our homeland security and have lacked on diplomatic relations around the world.

“The leadership of our country George W. Bush, is half wrong and half right. The UAE is a strong supporter against the war on terrorism and has a lot to protect in their own backyard particularly in the ports of Yemen. What is most important is that George W. Bush and our administration should not be in a position of weakness and our own companies should not be in a position of weakness. We the government of the USA and the companies of the USA should be operating our ports and our security, employing our American people, and not giving jobs away to any country or any government. We should stop throwing stones at other countries for security when our own country’s security was breached on 9/11. This is an outrage.”

“Our president ought to take serious note of the damage that he is causing around the world. We have got Venezuela, and threats from Venezuela to shut off the energy and oil supply. We have got problems with Russia becoming the watchdog for Iran. We have India upset because America is bullying them into the Iran nuclear situation. We’ve got China upset because our administration is forceful and demanding and not peaceful and diplomatic.”

Imperato called for the American people to take a more proactive role.

“We the American people must stand up. We the companies of the USA must stand tall. Our leadership and our president George W. Bush must pay attention to the destruction of our global relationships through the means of our Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice making statements threats, and demands on other countries and our Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld doing the same.”

The United States needed to focus, according to Imperato, less on the UAE and more on itself.

“The mission of the USA should be aimed at peace and the leadership of the country should a light to the world. I am sorry and sad to say that we are not. I am also ashamed to say that our government, the Democrats and Republicans, are throwing stones and creating rhetoric over the shipping ports and putting a label on one of the finest countries in the world, the UAE.”

Imperato then concluded his statement with the following remarks, “Instead of stating the fact that no foreign government or no foreign company should operate our ports, such as P&O and the British who have controlled these ports and have huge security breaches already, our government has waffled. Not to mention, I do believe that the UAE will probably increase the security mechanisms at our ports. But that’s not the issue. The issue is America must first find out is how it must beef up its security internally, and the companies of the United States of America must start owning back America.”

West Palm Beach, FL – February 22, 2006 – With global tensions escalating, 2008 Presidential Contender Daniel Imperato pointed out that when countries are looking for weapons and nuclear equipment, they visit the ‘French Convenience Store’.

“This is the next president of the United States of America addressing his people pertaining to the issues at hand with France as a country, its leadership, and its supply of nuclear equipment. This address is also about the ping pong game being played with Russia, China, and France and the squeezing that’s going on against America. This is all because of the dislike of the Bush Administration’s foreign policy and because of the Bush administration’s lack of diplomacy towards toward other countries around the world, enabling the French to be able to position themselves keenly,” stated Imperato.

Recently, France has made international headlines by announcing that they are close to a ‘Nukes Deal’ with India.

“I call on our administration and our president to pay particular attention to the French administration’s interest in a ‘Nukes Deal’ with India. On the heels of the USA trying to create what seems to be a secure and peaceful situation with Iran, although it is very forceful and manipulative, our friends, the Indians, have found a better ally to support their nuclear program in France,” explained Imperato.

Imperato is weary of France’s relations with India, as well as India’s decreasing positive relations with the United States.

“India, in the coming future, will be as important as China is today. Alienating India is a grave mistake by our administration and by our president. Supporting Pakistan and its nuclear program, ignoring India, and squeezing India to side with the US against Iran, are not diplomatic moves that I would be making in region,” said Imperato.

Under his administration, Imperato stated that major policy decisions must be changed for the better.

“When I am president of the United States of America, things will change and the respective countries, policies, religions, and customs will be recognized. Our decisions will be based upon total recognition of the country that we are dealing with respect to their atmosphere and individuality. While India plans to begin their talks, America could be losing an ally in India, who supports many of employment bases for US companies. Alienating India would be a grave mistake by our administration,” asserted Imperato.

Imperato also thought it was convenient that France was one of the first to report that Iran was looking for nuclear weapons on the open market.

“While India and France get closer to their ‘Nuke Deal’, France says that Iran seeks Nukes, and guess what, why does France know that Iran seeks Nukes? It is probably because France would be supplying them. The positioning of the French, in my opinion, is not peaceful. It is itching on the conflict in the region to once again position France to supply more weaponry to the region to benefit their economy and to increase sales of their products. On one hand they state that they want peace, while on the other they are serving disaster on a silver platter. This must stop.”

Immediate discussions, according to Imperato, are required between the United States and France so that the United States can clearly determine the French position.

“Our administration must take the time to get together with Jacques Chirac, to understand the clear and definite position of France and the French government because, after all, any war of any aggression in the region would not be good for France and its citizens and would not be good for the rest of the world.”

West Palm Beach, FL – For Decades, he was the smooth voice that brought us Ted Williams’ last home run, the first Super Bowl, the NBA Game of the week, and countless other memorable moments in sports history.

On Monday, America lost its voice, it lost Curt Gowdy.

Described by Howard Cossell as “The best all-purpose play-by-play announcer in broadcast”, Gowdy embodied more than just sports, he embodied the human spirit.

Even those who grew up listening to Gowdy could sense his good nature.

Among those who listened to Gowdy as he called the Boston Red Sox games from 1951-1965, was 2008 Presidential Candidate and Boston native, Daniel Imperato (www.daniel2008.com), who came to know the Gowdy family in his later days.

“Curt Gowdy is an American icon, and an American hero. He brought sports into the living room of every home in America,” stated Imperato.

Imperato also wanted to send his condolences to the families during their difficult time.

“My heart goes out to the family of Mr. Gowdy, who has my deepest sympathies. Curt Gowdy was a great man, and will be missed by all,” expressed Imperato.

Curt Gowdy, who died Monday, worked the broadcast booths at 13 World Series, 16 All-Star baseball games, numerous Rose Bowls and the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

In 1966, he spent 10 years as NBA’s announcer for its game of the week and also was the president of the Basketball Hall of Fame for several years.

Gowdy was inducted into the American Sportscaster’s Hall of Fame in 1985 and the Curt Gowdy State Park was established between Laramie and Cheyenne in 1971.

Gowdy was honored in a pregame ceremony at Fenway Park last Aug. 28. A funeral is scheduled for Saturday at Boston’s Trinity Church.

New York, NY – Today Imperiali Organization announced that Caribbean and International Banker Steve Lopez will be joining the company’s global advisory team.

“I am very excited to be working with such a credible group as the Imperiali Organization. I believe that there are many doors that can be opened both here in America as well as around the world,” commented Lopez.

Lopez brings over 35 years of international banking experience to the table from organizations such as First Fidelity Bank (Now Wachovia Bank), and Chemical Bank (now JP Morgan Chase).

Most recently, Lopez was the founder and CEO of Banque de Credit et Investissements Inc. in Grenada, West Indies, where he developed a $3 billion portfolio for the bank.

Lopez also feels that banking could open up opportunity for inner city communities which typically have faced challenges in attracting investment and capital.

“I believe it is important that everyone have access to the banking system, especially in the inner-city areas. When communities are given access to the banking and capital system, we will see those communities build up their infrastructure and manufacturing facilities, as well as see those communities thrive because of increased jobs, increased investment, and better educational system as a result of the previous two,” explained Lopez.

Dan Mangru, a director for the company, also expressed his comments for the addition of Lopez.

“The addition of Steve Lopez to our Global Advisory team brings great value and adds a wealth of experience to the team. Mr. Lopez is not only ambitious in his business activity but also shares that same passion with his community. He is a man who always wants to find ways to give back and to help expand opportunity for all. A man of this type of vision is a man that everyone needs in their organization, and we are very excited to have him as a part of ours.”

West Palm Beach, FL – February 20, 2006 – On the day that we are to remember two of our greatest presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, ‘The People’s President’ Daniel Imperato took the time to recollect what made America great and where America needs to go in order to get back there.

“America has always been the land of the free and the home of the brave, not the land of defeat and the home of the afraid. We are a nation that was built upon character and freedom, and it is during these times that we must rely on that character and freedom to restore our position as the world’s leader,” stated Imperato.

Imperato, a man who has used more than rhetoric, but has utilized his ties around the world to gain support for the United States and mount a substantial campaign for 2008.

“I stand here today, on President’s Day, as one man, a private citizen, and an American. But more importantly, I stand here today with the resolve of our two great presidents Washington and Lincoln and with the support of our nation. The road to recovery and reform will be long and tough, but so was American independence and so was abolition. As Americans, we will stay strong and as Americans we shall endure,” expressed Imperato.

Recently, Imperato has garnered strong international support for his campaign with endorsements from around the world.

“Through my travels around the globe, it has become apparent to me that America is not well-received. We are not well-received out of envy, for the great country that America is. We are not well-received because of the lack of respect that our leadership has shown the world and the lack of understanding that we have of their cultures. We need to recognize that we are in a global society, with global problems, that requires global attention,” explained Imperato.

Imperato finished his statement with the following remarks, “Recently, there have been naysayers that state that a third party candidate cannot be a serious contender. The Democrats and Republicans will not allow somebody outside their culture of corruption to be a leader in America. Well here is what I say to those people. I say that it is about time there was a third party candidate that is not entrenched in favors promised to special interests. I say that the Democrats and Republicans may have the House, and they may have the Senate. But the Democrats and Republicans don’t have the people. And the people is where the power is, and as ‘The People’s President’ all I have to say is one thing…1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Here We Come!”

Madrid, Spain & West Palm Beach, FL – Adding to his international support, Madrid based telecommunications specialist Edelmiro Lopez officially endorsed Daniel Imperato for his United States Presidential bid in 2008.

“When Daniel Imperato asked me to support him, I did not hesitate for a minute. First of all, he is the only man that can change America and correct past mistakes made both by Democrats and Republicans. These are mainly regarding US relationships with other countries and cultures and, in general, their way of developing alliances in the international field,” stated Lopez.

Lopez, who earned his Ph.D. at the University of Madrid, has over 30 years in telecommunications experience and has participated in joint ventures with, worked for, or consulted for companies such as Vivendi, Eurotelecom, Siemens, IBM, and AT&T.

From his global perspective, Lopez felt that America has not been recognized for its efforts to reconstruct Europe post World War II.

“From my European point of view, I wish to thank America for the support given to Europe during World Wars I and II. After more than 60 years of the end of World War II, I found that only a few Europeans recognize and thank the effort carried out by the USA for bringing back freedom to Europe. It is ridiculous to notice the large number of European politicians who still think they are “the world’s navel” and that they do not owe anything to anyone,” explained Lopez.

Additionally, Lopez felt that Imperato understands the key to dealing with the people of the world, respect.

“Daniel has traveled all around and I think he has friends in the last corner of the world. The main reason for having so many friends can be summarized in only one word: respect, respect for any religion, any creed and any way of living,”

The advantage of Imperato’s plan for America was, in Lopez’ opinion, its global perspective and its appeal to all groups of people, including those of Spanish decent.

“His plan looks both outside and inside the USA. As a Spaniard, I feel proud of the Spanish Collectives in America who, after years of effort, have learned how to get a place in all levels of the American Community. It is good to see how they are getting positions of higher and higher responsibility, in industry, commerce, arts and government.”

“Daniel’s plans foresee an important growth in education, social welfare and sanitary Programs. This plan will benefit not only the Spanish Community, but also the American society.”

Lopez concluded his comments with the following, “As told at the very beginning, I sincerely think that Daniel is the man that can introduce the needed changes in the US Government, in good-faith and on behalf of all of us.”
