On July 7, 2006, AMA chapters
of Rancho Cucamonga and Clairmont, representing Congressional
district 26, organized a community gathering at the residence
of Dr. Talat Khan. The get-together was to serve as an orientation
meeting for volunteers to prepare for the elections in November
2006.
Dr. Talat Khan, President of the Rancho Cucamonga Chapter
and Dr. Zahir Azzawi, President of the Clairmont Chapter,
were the speakers at the program. Dr. Talat Khan provided
valuable information about the election campaign and furnished
the Muslim perspective on civil rights issue, immigration,
environment, education and health care that is likely to
figure prominently in the elections.
Dr. Azzawi focused on ways of organizing the community in
congressional district 26.
The volunteers will work and compile a database and voter
registration information of Muslims in the district .
There will be monthly meetings of community members of the
area, which will concentrate on continuing civic education,
candidate forums and campaign work for the next few months
on an ongoing basis.
