Senator Orrin Hatch Asks USINPAC to Identify Indian Americans for Federal Judgeships

Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee met with a group of Indian Americans in an event sponsored by the US-India Political Action Committee (USINPAC). Describing the meeting as one of the "best organized breakfast meetings ever' Senator Hatch stated that 'USINPAC is performing a very important and much needed role in getting Indian Americans involved in the US political process". Senator Hatch said that he was deeply honored to kick off the USINPAC 'Breakfast on the Hill' series and was very grateful for the generous support from the Indian American community. Welcoming the Indian American community's growing involvement in shaping public policy through organizations such as USINPAC, Senator Hatch stated that Indian Americans should "continue to get involved in the process, continue to break down barriers and reach out to political leaders in both political parties." He emphasized that this involvement need not be on a partisan basis. Lauding USINPAC's role in educating lawmakers on the issues of concern to the Indian American community, Senator Hatch stated that lawmakers do not know enough about the Indian American community.

He asked USIPAC to let him know about suitable Indian American candidates for Federal judgeships to increase their representation in the Federal judiciary. He will strive to get Indian Americans appointed to positions in the judicial and executive branches of the government.

Describing Indo-US relations, Senator Hatch stated that, "If there are two countries for whom it is natural to work together, then they are the United States and India". Senator Hatch indicated that he would support a US-India free trade agreement and ask the United States Trade Representative, Robert Zoellick, to investigate strengthening Indo-US bilateral business relations through such an agreement. Senator Hatch also supported giving greater access to Indian biotechnology firms to the US market.

The group of Indian Americans comprised of entrepreneurs and business leaders. One of the attendees, Mr. Natwar Gandhi, Chief Financial Officer for the District of Columbia commented that, " USINPAC is off to a fast start and is already winning friends and influencing people on Capitol Hill. The kickoff 'Breakfast on the Hill' with Senator Orrin Hatch confirms the interest and importance of this group. I very much look forward to working with USINPAC in future events including the upcoming Breakfast with Senator Grassley. USINPAC will help to ensure that Indian-Americans are properly represented in key political forums and have a seat at the table". Mr. Rakesh Gupta, Chairman and Co-Founder, TechBooks, said "USINPAC provides an excellent forum for Indian Americans to get engaged in the public policy development process. The breakfast meeting with Senator Hatch provided a wonderful opportunity to have a direct dialogue with a key decision maker about the issues that our important to the Indian American community."

The US-India Political Action Committee (USINPAC), a bipartisan political action committee promoting the interests of the Indian American community, today kicked off a series of breakfast meetings on Capitol Hill. The objective of these meetings, termed as "Breakfast on the Hill", is to acquaint leading senators and congressmen of both parties with issues relevant to the Indian American community.

Participants in the "Breakfast on the Hill" are Indian American businesses, professionals and activists who have demonstrated a strong desire and ability to raise the profile of the Indian American community. The goal is to create opportunities for Indian Americans to advance their political, business, economic and social agendas in partnership with the nation's elected officials and policymakers. USINPAC draws from a large pool of Indian American entrepreneurs, industry leaders, professionals, thinkers, activists and others who have volunteered to act on behalf of the community and the nation.

Building upon its successful meeting with Senator Hatch, USINPAC will honor Senator Chuck Grassley, the incoming Chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, at its next breakfast meeting on December 18. These breakfast meetings are structured to facilitate a better understanding of the Indian American community and its interests, as well as the interests of the nation.

Commenting on its latest initiative, Sanjay Puri, USINPAC Executive Director, said, "The Indian American community is ready to contribute in a meaningful way to the social and political process in the country, and USINPAC is ready and willing to advance that agenda." Mr. Puri also stated that USINPAC is proud to have supported, and contributed to, several election campaigns nationwide during the 2002 election cycle.

USINPAC intends to strengthen Indian American interests by implementing a model that leverages regional initiatives of Indian Americans nationwide on a bipartisan basis. It adds value by supporting and financially contributing to fund-raisers nationally, and sharpening the message on Capitol Hill through its various initiatives.

LETTER FROM SENATOR LIEBERMAN TO THE MEMBERS OF USINPAC

Dear Friends:

The strength of the United States has always come from its diversity. Its diversity comes from its immigrant communities. We are a strong nation, a unified nation, because of our diversity.

One of our nation's most important and fastest growing immigrant communities is the Indian American Community. It is two million plus strong and growing. Approximately 10% of the medical students in this country are Indian American. One out of four high tech businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area is Indian American owned. The American landscape is full of Indian entrepreneurs who create economic growth and opportunity as small businessmen and -women. Indian Americans have the highest per capita income of any ethnic minority at $68,000. In short, Indian Americans are a success story.

It is time to translate that economic power into political clout. Indian Americans must be in the forefront of shaping domestic and international policy for the United States. They have earned a seat at the policy table, and the country will be better off for their participation in policy debates in Washington and beyond.

For instance, Indian Americans have unique insight into US-Indian relations. The community's desire to expand economic relations, particularly trade could be a win/win situation for both nations. The community's desire to bolster US-Indian strategic relations is also an important contribution, particularly as it relates to non-proliferation and anti-terrorism issues. It is also time to seriously consider increasing the permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council. As the world's largest democracy, India should be a priority candidate for a permanent seat.

But beyond international relations, we must look to improve things domestically for Indian Americans. Of course, we must fight any and all discrimination against Indian Americans wherever we may find it. But that is not enough. We must also actively create opportunities for Indian Americans to serve in high level positions in government. As President, I will see that this is the case.

I also oppose any efforts to eliminate or diminish the H1-B visa program. Why do we want to limit or otherwise handicap a community that has made such significant and important contributions to this country? It is counter-intuitive and counter-productive.

In closing, my Administration will be proactive in working with the Indian American community on international and domestic issues. I will make certain that Indian Americans have positions of responsibility in my Administration because it is good for our country, and it is the right thing to do.

Sincerely,

 Joe Lieberman

Kerry's Platform Statements

George W Bush has chosen tax cuts for the wealthy and special favors for the special interests over our economic future. John Kerry’s priority will be middle class families who are working hard to cover the mortgage, pay the high cost of health care, child care and tuition, or just trying to get ahead.

The first thing John Kerry will do is fight his heart out to bring back the three million jobs that have been lost under George W. Bush. He will fight to restore the jobs lost under Bush in the first 500 days of his administration. Kerry has proposed creating jobs through a new manufacturing jobs credit, by investing in new energy industries, restoring technology, and stopping layoffs in education

LETTER FROM SENATOR KERRY TO THE MEMBERS OF USINPAC

November 13, 2003

Dear Friends:

I am delighted to have this opportunity to share my views and my vision with the Indian-American community. The importance of this election cannot be overstated. George Bush has taken our country down the wrong path in nearly every conceivable way. As president, I will make America safer, stronger and more prosperous. I will nurture the important relationship between the United States and India and ensure that the rights of Indian-Americans are protected here at home.

I have long supported a closer relationship between the United States and India -- democracies that share many ideals, and face common challenges. I believe it is important, to both the United States and to India, that the economic and military relationship between our two countries continue to grow. As President, I will continue the combined naval and special forces exercises our governments have undertaken. The threat of international terrorism affects both the United States and India. And the fight against terrorism requires a mix of military, diplomatic and law enforcement responses. I strongly believe that the United States and India must continue to work together to bolster our joint capacities. The development of bilateral and multilateral working groups is crucial.

Bi-lateral engagement between India and Pakistan is important to resolving the dispute in Kashmir, and to combating terrorism. I believe the United States has the unique ability to help this process along, and as President I intend to take full advantage of the opportunity to do so.

Pakistan's support is important to operations in Afghanistan. Yet it is my hope that Pakistan will always remember that our goal is to have free nations with open societies in which there is no place for terror or the support of terror. Pakistan has much to gain from internal reform, and I stand eager to foster and support this process.

Indian-Americans deserve a President who will fight to better their lives here at home. In the wake of September 11, many Indian Americans were the victims of hate crimes. I am an original cosponsor of Federal hate crimes legislation. While most state and local police and prosecutors are vigilant in investigating and prosecuting hate crimes, we need a backup system to assure that every hate crime is properly vindicated. As President, I will ensure that the Hate Crimes Act is properly enforced by the Justice Department and that there are appropriate resources for the training of state and local officials in identifying, solving and prosecuting these crimes at the state level.

Many Indian Americans are understandably concerned about their civil liberties. The Bush-Ashcroft Justice Department has thrown basic civil liberties out the window in their efforts to make Americans feel safer, while doing little to actually make them safer. I favor giving law enforcement the tools it needs to prevent, investigate and prosecute terrorism, but I also favor assuring that there is appropriate Court and Congressional oversight over the use of these powerful tools.

I believe that America needs immigration policies that are fair and safe. The United States is a diverse nation built by people from all parts of the world who came here because they believed in freedom, democracy, and justice. I will work to cut the backlog of applications pending with the Bureau for Citizenship and Immigration Services, speed up the naturalization process and reduce the wait for family visas and other important matters. I believe that we should make family reunification the cornerstone of our immigration system.

Please visit my website- www.johnkerry.com- to learn more about my campaign. I would be deeply honored to have your support as I fight to move our country forward.

Sincerely,

John F. Kerry

Message from AARP New York’s State President

AARP New York worked hard in 2002 to show that we truly have "The power to make it better." By combining our resources with thousands of volunteers, members and community partners, we stepped up to our obligation to prove that by working together, we can make a difference.

Because of AARP's advocacy efforts, the Governor signed a law that protects homeowners from predatory lenders. Also, all energy customers, whether they use a public or private energy company, now have equal consumer protections because of legislation which was passed unanimously by the legislature and then signed into law by the Governor.

In 2003, we will continue our commitment to enacting positive social change by bringing attention to other important issues affecting older New Yorkers. As we face a massive deficit in the New York State budget, we are concerned about possible cuts to vital services and programs for seniors, including the EPIC program.

Our constituents tell us there are other issues that concern them. We will work towards getting oversight for assisted living facilities, improving the quality of care in nursing homes, providing grandparents raising grandchildren certain legal rights, and protecting those who wish to pre-plan their funerals.

AARP's legislative success will be felt by many people, on many levels - aging parents, adult children, grandchildren and other family members. I am certain that by joining forces and working together, we truly have "The power to make it better" to improve the lives of older New Yorkers.

Yash Aggarwal
AARP New York State President
