Arab American Institute's Blurbs

About me:

The Arab American Institute (AAI) represents the policy and community interests of Arab Americans throughout the United States and strives to promote Arab American participation in the U.S. electoral system.

We focus on two main areas: campaigns and elections, and policy formation and research.

AAI strives to serve as a central resource to government officials, the media, political leaders and community groups and a variety of public policy issues that concern Arab Americans and U.S. – Arab relations.

Our Myspace page and youth outreach seeks to engage young Arab Americans in political activism, both through elections and by lobbying their members of Congress.

“A new generation of young Arab Americans has stepped forward to work on behalf of the Arab-American community. This new energy can be seen everywhere. On college campuses, young Arab Americans have become a dynamic force in student government and local community activism.”

–Dr. James Zogby, Washington Watch, May 5, 1997

Wish Patiently xoxFree Palestine or Die Tryingxox	Apr 11 2007 1:05 PM I think the Arab nature is not to vote, to just accept the dictations of the leader until I suppose revolutions occur. But anyway, I want to be a person who does take part in Govt. and take advantage of the system the Constitution and Bill of Rights have set up for us Americans. I don't like that it seems just one vote won't count, or the paranoia that the votes are "miscounted" still if enough people become involved with the electoral process [[people from outside the old corrupt wings who probably killed MLK and Malcolm X, corrupt administrations who funded Saddam but then tried him 4 crimes they themselves funded - and their children hint the Bush family 4 starters]] I think we can assure a fair balance and experience that fair and equal justice that the Founders of this country had in mind when making the Declaration of Independence. so Yalla every one vote!! I can't wait 2 vote :) you have 2 start somewhere.

CHARLIE aka GODFATHER	Feb 15 2007 10:00 AM HELP SPREAD THE WORD! Please post a bulletin etc… Palestinian Mural in Jeopardy! http://www.petitiononline.com/mural/ If you are in support of the Palestinian mural please sign the petition. Our artists are Dr. Fayeq Oweis and Dr. Susan Greene; a Palestinian Muslim man and an American Jewish woman. Thanks for the support! General Union of Palestine Students (GUPS) www.sfgups.org 415-338-1908 San Francisco State University In April 2005, the General Union of Palestine Students at San Francisco State University proposed something revolutionary, to begin a process of implementing a mural paying tribute to Edward Said and Palestinian culture on the University campus. This is the first mural of its kind a University in the United States. After over a year of painstaking efforts by the mural committee to follow the established process, the President of San Francisco State University, Robert A. Corrigan, prematurely denied the mural just before the final stage. It is 2007 and the mural is in jeopardy and needs your immediate help The SF State president, Robert Corrigan claims the mural represents a “culture of violence” and is “hate to Jews.” He is saying that the Palestinian house key and Handala are offensive but he does not explain why or what to support his claim. He allowed other murals up on the Cesar Chavez Student Center, such as the Malcolm X mural, the Cesar Chavez mural, the Filipino Mural, the Pan Asian and Pacific Islander Mural, which depict struggles of refugees and colonialism, however the administration has been trying to stop our mural since day one before they knew anything about it. Please sign the latest online petition, and/or writing a letter to President Corrigan from yourself or your organization, and/or financially support the legal process to show support for the mural and all its elements including the Palestinian house key and Handala! Go to www.sfgups.org for more info. What You Can Do 1. Sign the New Online Petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/mural/ 2. Write a Letter or email SFSU President Robert A.

Omar Masry	Jan 13 2007 11:28 PM Jan. 27 (Sat), 8:30 pm—Comedy Benefit, the Sultans of Satire: Middle East Comic Relief, Special 10th Edition What's funny about the Middle East? Plenty! Is there any hope for peace? We think so...Nothing brings us together quite like humor and satire. This special 10th edition of the popular Levantine Cultural Center series, "Sultans of Satire" features Ahmed Ahmed, Maz Jobrani, Mike Batayeh, Elham Jazab, Aron Kader, Peter Shahriari, Gulden, Max Amini and Noel Elgrably, along with a very special mystery comedian...with Fariborz as the Master of Ceremonies! And special appearance by the Ya M.E.L.A. Middle East Dance Troupe... Comedians of Muslim, Christian, Jewish and Bahai faiths, from diverse countries of the Middle East and North Africa, come together in the spirit of unity—and laughter! This event is a benefit for Levantine Cultural Center, which has explored contemporary arts and cultures of the Mediterranean and Middle East, building bridges to peace since 2001. The center has presented more than 250 concerts, lectures, author events, comedy/satire shows, film screenings/Q & As, classes and other public programs. Levantine Cultural Center has worked with many nonprofit organizations and associations to help promote more in-depth and alternative information on the Middle East, as a needed counterweight to the constant barrage of bad news and negative messages (war, terrorism, corruption). In all the melee, watching the mainstream media about conflict in the Middle East, we forget the people, the rich cultures, and those who are working for peace every day. The Sultans of Satire: Middle East Comic Relief is an occasion for topical satire and savage humor about our post-9/11 world. These young comedians of Arab, Iranian, Moroccan/Israeli and Turkish heritage spoof the "clash of civilizations" between "us" and "them"—between America/the West and the Arab/Muslim East. These Americans are funny people who also work steadily as dramatic actors in film, television and theatre (see comedian bios). Saturday, Jan. 27, 8:30 pm, at USC's Bovard Auditorium, 3551 Trousdale Parkway, Los Angeles CA 90089. [Map] Read what audience members commented about previous Middle East Comic Relief shows. Join us this special evening of edgy humor, where these stalwarts are certain to lampoon sacred cows, take poetic license and otherwise eliminate common ennui. Cosponsored by the Lebanese Club at USC, Namak Magazine, Persian Mirror, CODEPINK, Women For Peace, F.A. Daniels, the USC Armenian Students' Association, the USC Persian Student Association, Irandokht, and KPFK 90.7 FM. Honorary Committee: Saadoun & Barbara Al-Bayati, Jodie Evans & Max Palevsky, Councilman Eric Garcetti, Bana Hilal, Jean & Casey Kasem, the Mansouri Family, Suzy & Wally Marks, Anthony Saidy, Debbie & Ferris Wehbe, and Councilman Dennis Zine.
