Democrat Congressmen and CongressWomen STILL Support C.A.I.R. - Holger Awakens Names Them Here

These are the members of the United States House of Representatives all put into office by you, the American people, who have continued to support the terrorists at C.A.I.R. (Council on American Islamic Relations). This comes from the article here at Family Security Matters. They are all, not surprisingly, members of the Democrat party:

CAIR's Best Friends In Congress:

Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA)

Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN)

Representative Andre Carson (D-IN)

U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH)

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX)

Congressman Al Green (D-TX)

Congressman Nick Lampson (D-TX)

Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ)

So there you have them folks...the biggest supporters of Islamic Jihad on American soil. Look at these quotes - this first one is from Rep. Dennis Kucinich:

"As the Council on American-Islamic Relations meets I want to pledge to you. I continue to pledge for your efforts to make sure that the powerful message of Islam, a message of peace and reconciliation reverberates. I want to make sure that you know that you have a friend in the United States Congress."

And now, look at this one from Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee:

"How proud I am to have been associated with CAIR's legislative work in the United States… We need CAIR and we need all of you supporting CAIR, for it has been willing to stand up and be courageous in time that were difficult. I'm reminded, in 1995 and the first terrorist act on the soil of the United States, so account for anti-Muslim feelings. I joined with my friend and Council member M.J. Khan to join together in Houston to stand up against violence."

I challenge the constituents of each and every one of these Congressmen and Congresswomen to write them, call them or show up at their offices and demand that they rescind any and all support of CAIR in all forms. Either they do that or you will fight to see that they are voted out of office.

America has paid too dearly a price in blood fighting the evil of islamic jihad to have our own representatives to cozy up to these minions of Satan. Let's work to get these traitors out of office.

Congress Cozying Up to CAIR

Politicians normally are pretty protective of their public images. They might take campaign money from some shady characters, but common sense dictates that they avoid too many public associations that can prove embarrassing.
One exception seems to be when the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is involved. Growing public evidence shows that CAIR has been dishonest about its roots and its ultimate objective. But that fact has done nothing to give pause to several members of Congress who continue to speak at CAIR functions and support the group's political agenda.

CAIR has established roots in the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), a group found to be a front for Hamas. In June 2007 federal prosecutors named CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator in the Hamas-support trial against the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF). The " List of Unindicted Co-conspirator and/or Joint Venturers" designates CAIR as a co-conspirator because of its associations with the US Muslim Brotherhood's Palestine Committee.

Prosecutors say that the Palestine Committee was created specifically to help Hamas through financial and political support in the United States. CAIR co-founder Omar Ahmad (its current chairman emeritus) is listed as an individual committee member and is an unindicted co-conspirator, too. In other cases, CAIR employees have been prosecuted for engaging in their own conspiracies.

Despite these facts, several members of Congress maintain close ties with CAIR without addressing or condemning the organization's radical affiliations and disconcerting history. In doing so, these elected officials bestow legitimacy upon CAIR while assisting the organization to evade pertinent questions about its radical roots.

For example, on July 14, 2007, less than a month after CAIR's designation in the HLF case, Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA) expressed his wholehearted support for CAIR at a CAIR-Seattle Banquet:

"I always enjoy being with people like CAIR because you inspire me really to keep fighting… And I think that's why this kind of an organization is so important for people to understand that you have a right in America to say whatever you believe. And I think you ought to exercise that. That's being a real American."

Members of CAIR have done just this: expressed their right to say whatever they believe. It is clear they believe that virtually all U.S. counter-terror investigations are erroneous, flawed, and discriminatory.

While that consistent opposition to U.S. terror cases is troubling, the record shows it may not reflect the depth of terror support held by some CAIR leaders. Most notably, before he became CAIR's Chairman, Omar Ahmad expressed his support for "Samah" (Hamas spelled backward) at a secret 1993 Philadelphia meeting of Hamas members and supporters:

"We can't, as an American organization, say we represent Samah," Ahmad said. "Can we go to the Congressman and tell him, I am Omar Yehya, Chairman of the Union , Yassir Arafat doesn't represent me, but Ahmad Yassin does?"
