| Pakistani
American Public Affairs Committee (PAKPAC) has undertaken a nationwide
initiative to urge all Americans of Pakistani heritage and all American
Muslims to register to vote. Voter registration can be performed through
the PAKPAC website. http://www.pakpac.net/action1.asp
Voting is one of our most important civic responsibilities, and
it is extremely important for all of us to exercise this right with
dependability. PAKPAC requests all other Pakistani American organizations
and American Muslim organizations to join hands and encourage their
respective membership at the regional and national level to register
to vote. The Pakistani American newspapers must play a vital role
to educate and ask the larger Pakistani American community to become
registered voters. PAKPAC strongly urges the leaders and imams of
the various Masajid all across the United States to use the Jumaa
prayer khutba to educate people about their civic rights and register
voters before and after the prayers. Every effort should be made
that all eligible American Muslims should be registered to vote
before November 2003.
