MINNEAPOLIS – The Campaign Committe to Elect Michael Cavlan to Congress
is proud to announce that the National Association of Muslim American
Women (NAMAW)  has endorsed Independent Congressional Candidate Mike
Cavlan for the US House of Representatives for Minnesota's 5th Congressional
District.

NAMAW contacted the campaign writing:

"We know that Ellison is your opponent and that he is Muslim and the
first Muslim elected to Congress. He hasn't done Muslims a bit of good.
The Somali community that elected him complains that he doesn't even
talk about what is happening in Somalia. They get no representation at
all from this guy. Being Muslim doesn't matter. He hasn't been a good
representative for Muslims and I don't think he really wants to be
known as the Muslim Congressman. It is our pleasure to endorse you."

Cavlan said, " While the FBI have been targeting the Muslim community
as well as the local Peace and Justice community, the silence of those
elected to office has been duly noted”. Cavlan further promises to
"Defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights from all enemies, foreign
and domestic. That includes those elected officials in power during the
Bush years as well as the current Obama Administration. I give my word
to the people of the 5th District of Minnesota, as well as the nation,
that I will fight for you all, instead of the monied special interests
which currently corrupt the Nations capitol."

Cavlan also states "I suspect that another reason that NAMAW also
supports our campaign because of our positions on US Foreign policy and
it's support of nations that are human rights abusers. As well as the
actions of the United States government in slaughtering countless
innocent Muslims and other civilians. Unlike my opponent, I will oppose
this with more than meaningless rhetoric."

Cavlan has also been endorsed by American hero Ralph Nader, peace
activist Cindy Sheehan, former Presidential candidate Representative
Cynthia McKinney of Georgia, former US Senate candidate Brother Ray
Tricomo as well as the Kalpulli Turtle Island Organization which is
committed to creating a more sustainable and equitable nation.
