As Arab and Muslim countries across the world enslave black Africans, the terror-listed CAIR will once again hijack MLK Jr. Day to influence American lawmakers into accepting more sharia

via 500 Washington State Muslims from 35 Districts to Lobby Lawmakers on MLK Day – CAIR.

On Monday, January 19, 2015, an estimated 500 Washington state Muslims from more than 35 state legislative districts are scheduled to meet with some 100 state lawmakers in Olympia as part of the annual “Washington State Muslim Lobby Day” organized by that state’s chapter of theCouncil on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-WA), the nation’s leading Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization.

Those taking part in the lobby day will seek to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by advocating passage of legislation that helps the most vulnerable in the state by urging legislators to invest $100 million in the ‘Housing Trust Fund’ for funding of low income housing as part of the biennial budget.

WHAT: 6th Annual Washington State Muslim Lobby Day

WHERE: Morning assembly at Olympia Center, 222 Columbia St. NW, Olympia, WA. March to capitol, rally on capitol steps and legislative visits on capitol campus

WHEN: Monday, January 19, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Detailed schedule available on request.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES: Some 500 Washington State Muslims of all ages attend breakfast/training in Olympia Center 9:30-10:30 a.m., march with banners and signs from Olympia Center to the capitol 10:45-11 a.m.; Muslims rally at capitol steps 11-11:15 a.m.; Legislative appointments 11:30 a.m.-1:15 p.m. (Media are welcome to accompany select groups to meetings, shadow groups, and/or to interview attendees. Meeting schedules available by Jan. 15 on request.)

Muslim voters attending the event will represent more than 35 of the 49 state’s legislative districts. In addition to urging the full funding of the Housing Trust Fund with an investment of $100 million, they will also provide information about recent anti-Muslim incidents and will urge their legislators to speak out against Islamophobic rhetoric and hate crimes when they happen in their districts.

“This event will provide an opportunity for Muslims from the majority of our state’s legislative districts to benefit society by urging lawmakers to champion issues that affect millions of our state’s residents of all faiths,” said CAIR-WA Executive Director Arsalan Bukhari. “This year’s attendees will likely represent more districts than were covered last year, so elected representatives will learn that their local Muslim communities are becoming increasingly knowledgeable about state politics, better organized, well-connected with other allied groups in their regions, and Muslim communities are utilizing these assets to give back to society and promoting the common good.”
