  • Presidential Election Results
    2016 Election Overview The outcome of the 2016 elections has definitely altered the landscape for transportation policy and funding initiatives. From the Presidency down to state legislative races, we face a new legislative dynamic and many new faces. What hasn’t changed: the huge need for resources to increase the nation’s and the state’s investment in the transportation system and bipartisan agreement on that fact. Prior to the outcome of Tuesday’s election we were hearing from candidates on both sides of the aisle that increasing investments in infrastructure was an area of agreement. Candidates for Minnesota’s legislature brought up the need for a comprehensive, long-term transportation funding package over and over again in news stories, candidate profiles and candidate forums. We were hearing more from candidates about transportation than we have in previous election cycles. Voters in other states, made their voices heard by approving ballot initiatives in 22 states that increased and stabilized funding for transportation. As we head into 2017, transportation advocates have a huge opportunity to capitalize on the widespread support for infrastructure improvements. However, it will take the involvement of transportation advocates across the state making their voices heard to rise above partisan squabbling and the many other issues that will be on the table.

  • Congressional Scorecard 109Th Congress 2 0 0 5 - 2006
    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.

  • Hotdish Off 2013
    2013 Recipes 1 HOTDISH OFF 2013 Senator Franken’s Minnesota Congressional Delegation Hotdish Off From church suppers and school potlucks, to family reunions, “hotdish” has been a Minnesota tradition for generations. To those who don’t speak “Minnesotan,” it’s a lot like a casserole that “goes real good” with jello or a salad, along with bars (pan-baked cookies) for dessert. This book of recipes will give everyone a taste of this culinary staple that for years has satisfied the hunger of Minnesotans in small farming communities and large cities alike. Last year, Sen. Franken’s “Mom’s Mahnomin Madness Hotdish” and former Rep. Chip Cravaack’s “Minnesota Wild Strata Hotdish” tied for first place. Sen. Klobuchar took top honors in 2011 with her “Taconite Tater-Tot Hotdish.” On April 10th, 2013, Senator Al Franken hosted Senator Amy Contents Klobuchar and Representatives Collin Representative Tim Walz’s Hermann the German Hotdish . 1 Peterson, Betty McCollum, Michele Bachmann, Keith Ellison, Tim Walz, Representative Rick Nolan’s ‘Real Deal’ Ranger Hot Dish . 2 Rick Nolan, and Erik Paulsen for a Representative Collin Peterson’s Easter Ham and Cheese Hotdish 4 bipartisan and bicameral Minnesota Congressional delegation Representative Michele Bachmann’s Southwest Metro Hotdish . 5 Hotdish Off.

    August 20, 2020 The Honorable Angie Craig The Honorable Ilhan Omar The Honorable Tom Emmer The Honorable Collin Peterson The Honorable Jim Hagedorn The Honorable Dean Phillips The Honorable Amy Klobuchar The Honorable Tina Smith The Honorable Betty McCollum The Honorable Pete Stauber Dear Members of the United States Congress representing Minnesota, Minnesotans and people across the country are experiencing incredible levels of hardship. Our communities face unacceptable and bleak realities: hunger, housing instability, and job loss have increased dramatically since the pandemic hit. While previous policy actions like the CARES Act were vital, they have proven insufficient, and the situation is worsening. The number of Minnesotans turning to food assistance through SNAP has increased 14 percent. More households are falling behind on rent, with 16 percent of Minnesota households in that boat. And the unemployment rate is higher than at any time during the Great Recession. We need action. As a community of nonprofits, we are practiced at and driven to taking action to create a more just and thriving world. The global pandemic and community uprisings against racial inequity are revealing more of the injustices that have always been present where nonprofits live and work. Failure to respond quickly and effectively will deepen racial inequity and result in a deeper and longer-lasting recession. There is a narrow window of opportunity for lasting and meaningful change, to define this new era as one where our communities can be successful in welcoming a future that allows all to thrive. You are members of one of the most important decision-making bodies in the world, with the unique power to pass a strong and swift policy response to meet this critical moment.
