MBO Members Meet Congressional Delegates
May 16, 2012, Washington DC
MBO members, along with other business people, met with congressional delegates in Washington DC.
“Showing a presence by American businessmen on the Hill and personally interacting with members of congress is critical as it leaves a lasting impression with politicians as they deal with issues relating to Islam and Muslims” Mohannad Malas, MBO, Los Angeles Chapter
A report prepared by John Podesta the Chair and Counselor of the Center for American progress who authored Fear Inc report, was introduced to members of congress. It is a report that was prepared by an independent research organization that details the funding and planned attacks being waged against American Muslims. The report confirms and supports, through figures and facts, what Muslim community always suspected.
It was rewarding to interact with other Muslim entrepreneurs from across the country having similar interests and aspirations.
The congressional delegates included Nancy Pelosi (CA), Keith Ellison (MN), Andre Carson, (IN), Steny Hoyer (MD), Chris Van Hollen (MD), Bennie Thompson (MS)
