and their patries face to face.
an org in NY called PaKistan American Democratic Club organized some event where the comissioner of NYC, and reps from the brak0bama and Hillary Clinton came forward.
the turn out of the local professional and media of Pakistan in NY, was considerable.
and the panelists anwered questions. as well as made speeches for their respective parties as people.
what Hilklary and Bill Clinton are doing during campaigns to let down Bama.
how nice he is. and his law education and muslim kinship from indonesia.
the political activists body and community members, be it doctors of our parents’ generations, some aunties, and some younger profesionals were there.
speeches made by 2 young lawyers was very to the core and spoke of the collective american experiences of Muslims and non Muslim fellow citizens, and how that all forms the connection between immigrant community in the broader sense.
from ed to tax cuts, health care to foreign policy esp. with muslim countries was at the forefront.
Hillary apparently has been saying that she will do wrk to withdraw from iraq within sixty days of her term in office, if she wins.
john mcain’s navy history is that when he was captured during veitnaam war and was eventually known to be the son of admiral, he was freed but his answer was that the rule of return of captive be observed, i.e., first in, first out. that spoke to his integrity.
brak’s agenda is common people and their issues as american people.
the country’s image as a world power and the unity of its people as a nation of immigrants was the highlight of the discussion and speeches.
for either parties to win, the common stake is getting back trust of people, that has been lost and restoring promising american values of civil rights.
attendees were urged to vote in the feb 5th primaries in NY.
and to voice opinions, the founder of the organization Pak-Am Demo Club, said that media, other orgs and mosques as well as Islamic Centers must gather people and bring people out to vote.
very few women were there and mostly men from the Muslim community.
and all reps of the parties were male, interestingly, Hillary Clinton’s reps were all mixed blacks.
and Bama’s were white and jewish.
so, when such events are organized at your local cities, and you being an american citizen and slightly interested in the pull or the push of subtle negotiations, what do you openly say to the political parties’ reps?
how was the last address of the union by bush, if you patiently
heard his speech.
share if you like.
best,
Dushwari
