Roger Helmer
MEP initially wrote me that it was a stupid question but
didn't respond when I asked him if it was impossible for Arnold
to hold European office. Actually, I've graciously since
received Mr. Helmer's thoughtful reasons why he doesn't believe
Arnold would leave the United States for Europe's political
arena: Dear David, 1. He has an enviable position in the US
political system 2. He has made it clear that "all he has he
owes to America". And you think he would leave? 3. If he has any
further ambitions, surely he wants a change in the US
Constitution and a run at the US Presidency. Regards. ROGER
HELMER ********* And, when I offered him in a separate email,
Beyond Babylon, gratis, his gracious reply: Dear David, Perhaps
I misjudged you! Are you also one of us, who are working for the
post-EU Europe? If so, I think I may owe you an apology! I am
not an accredited media reviewer, but if you want to send me the
book (and if I like it) I shall certainly feature it in my
e-newsletter. Street Address: 11 Central Park, Lutterworth,
Leicestershire LE17 4PN, UK Best regards, ROGER HELMER
**************** And my response: Dear Roger, All's well, that
ends well! Thank you for your thoughtful reasons why you don't
believe Arnold would seek a European office. I've forwarded your
mailing address to my publishers for them to send you a copy of
Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and
Fall. It's just amazing how life is sometimes. That my
English ancestors would've never dreamed they would come to
America, have a descendant write a book, and correspond with
their representative (they were from Leicestershire - the
Mervins & Rileys). May you have a wonderful weekend! Most
Sincerely, David Ben-Ariel
