The Muslim Vote in Election 2004
Tuesday, June 29, 2004
10:00 AM
Gold Room (Room 2168) of Rayburn House Office Building
Capitol Hill Public Hearing
The American Muslim vote in the coming elections may prove once again to be very significant in determining who our next President will be. According to CAIR, 78 percent of Muslims voted Republican in 2000. Will the Muslims vote en bloc once again in such a high percentage? Have George W. Bush's policies put him out of the running for obtaining Muslim votes? Will they vote for John Kerry or Ralph Nader? These questions and many more will be addressed in a public hearing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, June 29th.
Join us for a panel discussion of the Muslim vote in Election 2004. Panelists include:
The Muslim Vote in 2000: Eugene Bird, President, CNI
Current polling of American Muslims: Nihad Awad, Executive Director, CAIR
Ralph Nader, Candidate for U.S. President (tentative)
Evaluation of the candidates: Amb. Edward Peck, Foreign Service International
*The Kerry campaign and the Bush campaign have both been invited to send a representative.
This hearing, co-sponsored by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), is one of a series that CNI has held on the Middle East during Election 2004. CNI is a research, education, and outreach group which advocates that the 2004 Presidential campaign platforms include a plank calling for the immediate recognition of Palestine as an independent state, the establishment of a new Middle East Peace Alliance in order to end conflict and ensure regional stability, and a revisiting of the "Road Map." CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has 28 regional offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada.

It is the suggestion that everyone can become a Registrar of voters, and then go out and enroll others to vote.
It was done at the Court House In Arizona.
I did many years ago in Wellton. Have not done so here and won't now, as I don't go out
