Islamonline: United U.S. Muslims To Vote Against Bush Re-election

CHICAGO, September 2 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - Leaders of the
U.S. Muslim community intend to deliver a bloc vote in next year's
presidential elections, one that will go against the candidate they
endorsed last time - President George W. Bush. The Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the American Muslim Council, the
American Muslim Alliance, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council agreed
this weekend to cooperate on a voter registration drive that they hope will
send one million Muslims to say "No" to Bush's 2004 re-election bid.
Representatives of the four leading U.S. Muslim advocacy groups have
begun voter registration drives at mosques and Islamic centers across the
nation in hopes of ensuring a strong turnout in the 2004 presidential
elections.
