Is USTN a (grassroots) lobbying firm, government-relations company, PAC or a public-relations organization?
No, USTN is not a lobbying shop or grassroots lobbying firm. Neither is it a political action committee (PAC), media outlet, or an organization that pays anyone to do “electioneering”, lobbying, etc. Simply put, USTN is a registered non-profit, non-partisan, non-sectarian single-purpose organization, which serves as a conduit and network for Turkic-American voters and activists (grassroots) and their national, state, and local coalitions, associations, organizations, councils, conferences, and other formal, semi-formal and informal groups. In other words, USTN only provides a streamlined, organized channel for the Turkic-American grassroots and their diaspora organizations to deliver their message. To paraphrase it, USTN is just the power transmission line of this world – meanwhile the poles along with the electricity generation plants and hydrocarbon sources that power them are the Turkic-Americans and other voters and organizations. We are the power line, but you are the power!
