    IRANIAN AMERICAN POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE Congressional Scorecard 109th Congress 2 0 0 5 - 2006 Please visit us on the web at www.iranianamericanpac.org About IAPAC IAPAC is a registered bipartisan political action committee that contributes to candidates for public office who are attuned to the domestic concerns of the Iranian American community. 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.

  • Potential House Committee Leaders in the 115Th Congress
    Potential House Committee Leaders in the 115th Congress October Edition 2 Potential House Committee Leaders in the 115th Congress • This deck outlines potential changes to House chairmen and ranking members in the 115th Congress, which convenes in January • Some changes will occur as a result of retirements and election outcomes • Term limits will also force changes on some committees – Republicans can serve three Congresses, or six years total, as chairman and ranking member – Democrats don’t impose term limits • In the following slides, you’ll see: – A breakdown of major committees that could have new leaders after Nov. 8 – The candidates for chairman and ranking member under a slimmer Republican majority – How movement on one committee could mean changes for others 3 Democrats would need a huge wave to retake the house • While Democrats are poised to gain seats, winning the 30 seats needed for a majority is unlikely. 4 Appropriations: Rogers’ term limit creates opportunity for Republicans • Republicans: Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) is term limited and will seek the top spot on the panel’s Defense Subcommittee. He’ll probably be succeeded by current Defense Subcommittee Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.) or Ag-FDA Subcommittee Chairman Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.). Frelinghuysen Lowey • Democrats: Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) will probably retain her position as ranking member. Other notes: Rogers would face off against Kay Granger • (R-Texas) for the Defense Subcommittee. Aderholt Republican Chairman Ranking Democrat Current Hal Rogers (Ky.) Nita Lowey (N.Y.) 115th Congress Rodney Frelinghuysen (N.J.) or Lowey Robert Aderholt (Ala.)

  • The Annual Society Page It Was the Usual Political Overdose at the 109Th Annual Pennsylvania Society Confab
    The Annual Society Page It was the usual political overdose at the 109th annual Pennsylvania Society confab. by Mary F. Patel Published: Dec 12, 2007 It was the usual political overdose — from eating, drinking and running around to make all the parties — during last weekend's 109th annual Pennsylvania Society confab, held at the Waldorf- Astoria in midtown Manhattan. Despite the Pennsylvania moniker, the Society, which was founded by a consortium of journalists, politicians, businessmen and wealthy magnates, met in New York City because founding member Andrew Carnegie built the Waldorf. Back then, he convinced members to convene there, and the tradition has continued ever since. Events kicked off at noon Friday with the Republican State Committee's annual Commonwealth Club luncheon held at the Rainbow Room, costing $1,000. Next up was the Scrimmage Party at ESPN Zone; it was hosted by the sports-cable behemoth and Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney. That event rolled right into a reception honoring the new Pennsylvania House majority caucus at the InterContinental Hotel, which flowed into the "Friends of Jack Wagner" reception back at the Waldorf. (Wagner, a Democrat, is seeking re-election as auditor general.) Competing parties included the Waste Management Group and the Dan Onorato event — the Allegheny County chief executive is considered to be a future Democratic gubernatorial candidate — and state Sen. Dominic Pileggi's reception, before a bigger event hosted by Blank Rome at the InterContinental. Always popular, the Blank gig was packed despite the retirement of chairman David Girard-diCarlo. On the scene was former Democratic mayoral candidate Tom Knox, who said he is running for governor.

  • Midterm Elections
    Immigration and the 2010 Midterm Elections INTRODUCTION Immigration had a significant impact on the 2010 elections and is now a top election issue. Certainly the economy and unemployment were the dominant issues across the nation, but more candidates campaigned on immigration than in past elections. They posted position statements on their campaign websites, dedicated precious resources to radio and television commercials on the issue, and some even used the issue to attack their opponents in a manner that may have made the crucial difference in the outcome. In addition, immigration was a frequent topic of debate, not only in official settings, but at campaign stops. Often the question asked was whether a candidate supported Arizona’s new immigration enforcement law, SB 1070. The popularity of SB 1070, combined with brutal drug cartel violence along the Southern border, a high unemployment rate, and strong voter disapproval of President Obama’s handling of the immigration issue, meant that candidates could not avoid the issue as easily as in previous elections. To be sure, there were candidates who were intentionally vague or entirely silent on immigration. This was especially so in close races where committing to amnesty would likely alienate independent voters critical to pulling out a victory. In other instances, candidates would give conflicting statements, such as voicing their opposition to amnesty while in the same breath supporting “comprehensive” immigration reform (interpreted by voters as amnesty). In other cases, candidates simply didn’t take an official stand. Overall, however, FAIR’s midterm election analysis shows that support for immigration controls was a common denominator among winning candidates.
