There is an organization called the Pakistani American Congress (PAC) http://www.pakamrcongress.org/ which pushed Pro-Taliban, and Pro-Jihadist issues through Congress by buying and selling our own American politicians.
The Organization's Name is the Pakistani American Congress [PAC], the Nature of Organization: Political and Social Work, and its Street Address is 29482 West Ten Mile Road City, Troy State/Province, MI, Postal/Zip Code: 48336 Country: USA .
Their Phone: (248) 474-3335 Fax: (248) 474-3280 Email: information@pakamrcongress.org Website: www.pakamrcongress.org
It is an umbrella association of forty-four Pakistani organizations in nineteen states. All these organizations are represented by up to three members in the PAC who elect the national board and the office bearers for two years.
Its constitution was approved in October 2000 and came formally into being in March 1991. Looks like it's going strong.
This is what the PAC says about some of its achievements:
"Presently, PAC focuses on the political action in the United States to help Pakistan and Pakistani Americans living here. For example in 1991 and 1991, PAC helped pass two resolutions in the House of representatives in Washington condemning the atrocities committed against the Kashmiri civilian population by the Indian Armed forces. At that time, PAC helped publish a book called "Kashmir - From Happy Valley to Valley of Death" by Dr. William Baker. Perhaps PAC's greatest achievement was to prevent the anti-Pakistan forces to get Pakistan declared a terrorist state seven years ago in the USA during Dr. Sakhawat's presidency."
PAC has embarked on developing a dialogue with different social and cultural organizations and Think Tanks in Pakistan and USA in order to learn and contribute positively in fair and equitable policy developments in both countries. Another project to be started is dependant on finding Pakistanis who could help Pakistan in various professions by providing their services and advice on national projects which might enable Pakistan to open up her century old bureaucracy to modern specialization era.
They further go on and say stuff like, "We need to have a more effective influence on the American news media by promoting our own writers and friends of Pakistan (Friends of Pakistan? Like the Terrorists who carried out the World Trade Center attacks?). Youth groups of Pakistani origin must be helped to organize on different university campuses to prepare themselves for future leadership position of some of our major organizations. Our common denominator, Love for Pakistan, must translate it self into practical projects to make a positive difference in the lives of the wonderful people of Pakistan."
The ninth annual Pakistan Day on Capitol Hill was held on June 27, 2001 in Washington DC. Thirty-three lawmakers and/or their staffers attended the session to show their support for the Pakistani American community and strengthen US-Pakistan friendship.
The following 22 House Reps were present in person: Nick Lampson (TX), Ciro Rodriquez (TX), Jim Turner (TX), Ron Paul (TX), John Culberson (TX), Curt Weldon (PA), Joseph Pitts (PA), Robert Borski (PA), Xavier Becerra (CA), Grace Napolitano (CA), Dane Kildee (MI), David Bonior (MI), Fred Upton (MI), Benjamin Gilman (NY), Major Owens (NY), Gregory Meeks (NY), Henry Hyde (IL), Bobby Rush (IL), Danny Davis (IL), Shelly Berkley (NV), James Moran (VA), Connie Morella (MD).
The following 9 House Reps were represented by their staff members: Dana Rohrabacher (CA), Juanita Millender-McDonald (CA), John Conyers (MI), Dennis Hastert (IL), John Shimkus (IL), Jerry Costello (IL), Paul Ryan (WI), Charles Taylor (NC), Mark Foley (FL).
The following 2 Senators were represented by their aides: Mari Landrieeu (LA) and Tim Johnson (SD). It's worth looking at the various sections of this site including their "constitution."
Hey, Taliban lovers and terrorists have friends in the United States too! The Pakistani Militants and their Jihadi sympathizers want nothing but the destruction of the United States.
/end hysterical posting.
By your "logic," since CPAC is a right wing group and Timothy McVeigh was a right-wing terrorist, then CPAC is a terrorist lobbying group.
You have it exactly backwards. The poster has presented absolutely no information that this PAC is in any way connected to terrorist groups, other than it is from Pakistan.
Pakistan has admitted to home growing the Taliban,
The Taliban did not attack the United States, and we have been meddling in that part of the world for some time.
to committing terrorism in Kashmir against India,
That is a war, last I checked,
and to being directly linked to the terrorists who committed the World Trade Center fiasco.
I'd like to see you substantiate that.
And idiots like you defend them, every day, because you are probably on their side too.
Nice personal attack to top off your screed. Maybe some of us are not so much defending this PAC as demanding that posters provide information to back up their claims.
What if 9/11 made the lurkers passionate enough to stand up for America, though?
By the way...if Pakistan is lobbying Congress, recall that Israel is too...American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)--stronger than the NRA, yet no one denounces them the way you see the liberals denounce the NRA...yet many would see AIPAC as a friend to conservatives...hmmm...
Hey guys.
