December 11, 2006 New Congress Brings with It Religious Firsts By
December 11, 2006 New Congress Brings With It Religious Firsts by Jonathan Tilove Religion News Service The new Congress will, for the first time, include a Muslim, two Buddhists, more Jews than Episcopalians, and the highest-ranking Mormon in congressional history. Roman Catholics remain the largest single faith group in Congress, accounting for 29 percent of all members of the House and Senate, followed by Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Jews and Episcopalians. While Catholics in Congress are nearly 2-to-1 Democrats, the most lopsidedly Democratic groups are Jews and those not affiliated with any religion. Of the 43 Jewish members of Congress, there is only one Jewish Republican in the House and two in the Senate. The six religiously unaffiliated members of the House are all Democrats. The most Republican groups are the small band of Christian Scientists in the House (all five are Republican), and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (12 Republicans and three Democrats) -- though the top-ranking Mormon in the history of Congress will be Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, the incoming Democratic majority leader. Baptists divide along partisan lines defined by race. Black Baptists, like all black members of Congress, are Democrats, while most white Baptists are Republicans. Notable exceptions include incoming House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., and Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., who will serve as president pro tem in the new Senate, making him third in succession to the presidency after the vice president and House Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Because 2006 was such a good year for Democrats, they have regained their commanding advantage among Catholics, which had slipped during an era of GOP dominance.

Congressional Scorecard 110 Congress 2007-2008
Congressional Scorecard 110th Congress 2007-2008 About PAAIA The Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA) is a nonprofit, bipartisan, nonsectarian, independent organization that represents the domestic interests of the Iranian American community before U.S. policymakers, opinion makers and the American public at large. We work to expand opportunities for the active participation of Iranian Americans in the democratic process at all levels of government and in the public debate, and to foster greater understanding of our community and its Persian heritage. PAAIA seeks to achieve its mission by focusing on three major areas of activities: Community Building, Image Building, and Influence Building. PAAIA’s influence building objective is to engage U.S. policy makers and gain recognition for the Iranian American community as a credible and influential constituency that adds significantly to policy debates, and on whose support they can count. To that end, PAAIA is undertaking to work with other organizations to educate Iranian Americans about members of Congress and their positions on matters of interest, as well as about policy developments of interest, to advocate for policies and legislation that are in the best interests of our community, and to identify, promote and support qualified Iranian American candidates for public office. Congressional Scorecard The PAAIA 2007-2008 Congressional Scorecard rates members of Congress on certain votes and other positions taken in the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 110th Congress, which affect the domestic issues of the Iranian American community. The primary purpose of the Scorecard is to ensure that Iranian Americans are informed about the voting records and performances of their members of Congress.

Urgent Memo from the Florida Democratic Party
URGENT MEMO FROM THE FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY DATE: 3/12/08 TO: HILLARY CLINTON, BARACK OBAMA, HOWARD DEAN, BILL NELSON, ALCEE HASTINGS, CORRINE BROWN, ALLEN BOYD, ROBERT WEXLER, KENDRICK MEEK, DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ, RON KLEIN, TIM MAHONEY, ALEX SINK, STEVE GELLER, FREDERICA WILSON, DAN GELBER, JOYCE CUSACK, DIANE GLASSER, CARRIE MEEK, LUIS GARCIA, CLARENCE ANTHONY, RUDY PARKER, JANEE MURPHY, JON AUSMAN, TERRIE BRADY, MITCH CEASAR, ALLAN KATZ, RAUL MARTINEZ, CHUCK MOHLKE, STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS, COUNTY DEC CHAIRS CC: ALEXIS HERMAN, JAMES ROOSEVELT, DAVID PLOUFFE, MAGGIE WILLIAMS FROM: KAREN THURMAN RE: RESOLVING THE FLORIDA PRIMARY Democratic Leaders – I urge you to fully consider the following information thoughtfully and thoroughly, remembering that we are all in this primary situation together. There is no question that we must move quickly to deal with the dispute over Florida’s Democratic Presidential Primary. Fingers have been pointed in every direction, but how we arrived at this breaking point is irrelevant. The stark reality is that all Democrats lose if this is not resolved immediately. Florida Senate Democratic Leader Steve Geller commissioned a poll of voters who participated in the state’s January 29th Democratic Presidential Primary. The results are striking – 59% of those Democrats want a revote. Moreover, only 63% of these primary‐voting Democrats are committed to sticking with our eventual nominee if Florida voters are not counted. That number is dangerously low. We must refocus our discussion of this issue on the people of Florida. Restoring their faith in the Democratic Party is of paramount importance. No action is truly a solution if it leaves Florida voters feeling that they were excluded from the most exciting nominating contest in history.
