IAPAC focuses exclusively on domestic policy issues such as civil rights and immigration, and it encourages Americans of Iranian descent to actively participate in civic affairs. Mission • To support and promote the election of candidates for federal, state and local office, regardless of party affiliation, who are attuned to the domestic needs and issues of the Iranian American community • To support and promote Iranian American participation in civic affairs Issue Advocacy Civil Liberties: Balancing Civil Liberties and National Security in the Post-9/11 Era. Protecting our security and ensuring that the government does not infringe upon basic constitutional rights have long been important issues for civil libertarians and certain ethnic communities. IAPAC believes that our government must take the appropriate measures to protect our nation from further atrocities, but that it can do so without eliminating basic constitutional rights. Immigration: Immigration reform that is driven by proper national security concerns and remedies based on a fair and accurate appraisal of deficiencies in the immigration process, and not simply on national origin. Specifically, IAPAC advocates for a fair and measured execution of federal regulations governing the issuance of non-immigrant and immigrant visas for Iranian nationals. Congressional Scorecard The IAPAC 2005-2006 Congressional Scorecard rates members of Congress on votes and other positions taken in the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 109th Congress, which affect the domestic needs of the Iranian American community.

  • American Fly Fishing Trade Association * Berkley Conservation
    American Fly Fishing Trade Association * Berkley Conservation Institute Bull Moose Sportsmen’s Alliance * Izaak Walton League of America National Wildlife Federation * Pheasants Forever * Quail Forever Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership Trout Unlimited * Wildlife Management Institute October 8, 2014 Dear Mr. President: On behalf of the undersigned sportsmen conservation organizations, businesses, and millions of Americans who enjoy and depend on our wildlife and natural resources, we write to express our support for your common-sense efforts to address the threat of climate change. We especially appreciate your recognition that responding to climate change requires steps to reduce the carbon pollution that threatens fish and wildlife, as well as accelerated measures to support natural resources adaptation and enhance the resilience of fish and wildlife habitats. As hunters and anglers, we see first-hand how climate change is altering habitat and putting our outdoor heritage at risk. In fact two seminal publications by national sportsmen organizations, Seasons End and Beyond Seasons End, document how fish and wildlife habitats are facing numerous threats from climate change. Strategic conservation investments are needed now to sustain our wildlife heritage into the future, and to ensure the resilience of these systems to temperature changes, drought, and other related climate impacts. After your pledge to respond to climate change, many sportsmen’s groups urged you to incorporate the recommendations of these reports in any federal adaptation planning. We are happy to see that you have called for such investments in your Climate Action Plan and executive order on climate resilience and preparedness. As stewards for future generations, it is our obligation to conserve land and water resources by advancing climate-adaptation strategies that promote healthy fish and wildlife populations, and sustain the forests, grasslands, rivers and other systems on which they—and we—depend.

  • Ijtofun of Aianbia OFFICE of the SELECTMEN 74 High Street Candia
    Executive Correspondence DCN 1423 ijtofun of aIanbia OFFICE OF THE SELECTMEN 74 High Street Candia. New Hampshire 03034 (603) 483-8101 June 1, 2005 Chainnan Anthony Principi BRAC Commission 521 South Clark Street, Suite 600 Arlington, VA 22202 Dear Chainnan Principi: The Candia Board of Selectmen would like to take a few minutes of your time and request that you reconsider the placement of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on the recommended base closures list for the 2005 Base Realignment and Closing round. The Town of Candia is a small New Hampshire community of approximately 4,000 residents located off Exit 3 on Highway 101 leading directly to the Portsmouth area. There are many reasons why we are in support of the Shipyard remaining open with the main reason being that three Candia residents are presently employed there and all of them have families to support. Our next concern is Homeland Security and the protection of the harbor. In 2001 terrorists gained access to a Boston flight via an airport located in the State of Maine and with this being stated we feel it is extremely important to have an active duty military installation located between New Hampshire and Maine. During 9/11 it was more than obvious to the Country that the anticipated targets were all located on the east coast and we as a local governing body find it makes perfect sense to support any existing security measures the State has in place in order to further protect citizens from any future attacks. We feel just as criminals know the daily routines of Police Officers; terrorists know the locations of Active Duty Military Installations and also know where each State's weaknesses lie.

  • 109TH CONGRESS 2ND SESSION U.S. House of Representatives And
    FRC ACTION AND FOCUS ON THE FAMILY ACTION VOTE SCORECARD 109TH CONGRESS 2ND SESSION U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Dear Voter and Friend of the Family: FRC Action and Focus on the Family Action present our Vote Scorecard for the Second Session of the 109th Congress. This Scorecard contains a compilation of significant votes representing a cross section of issues affecting the family. These recorded votes occurred in the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives in 2006. This scorecard shows how your elected officials voted on some of the critical issues involving the family. It is important to remember, however, that the votes you see here are only a few of the hundreds of votes cast by Members of Congress in 2006. We have singled out for inclusion the most clear-cut, pro-family votes that came before Congress. With the 2006 mid-term elections fast approaching, Congress renewed its efforts in protecting the family by promising action on a list of Values Votes. The House acted on legislation that included protecting parental involvement for minors receiving interstate abortions, enhancing the enforcement of laws prohibiting Internet gambling, rejection of funding for unethical embryonic stem cell research, a rejection of human fetus farming, and a renewed effort to preserve traditional marriage by amending the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, the House did not act on two promised items on the Values agenda: a bill to inform women of fetal pain and a ban on human cloning. With the exception of confirming to the Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, last year we were unable to report on activity by the Senate due to a lack of substantial pro-family votes.
