AND AMERICANS OF NON-TURKISH HERITAGE WHO
SUPPORT US-TURKISH RELATIONS AS OF 06-07-08: $731,999* * PLEASE NOTE: This figure is an attempt to represent a total of contributions made to congressional candidates/committees and state & local candidates/committees in the 2007-2008 election cycle by concerned citizens both of Turkish and non-Turkish heritage and Turkish American political action committees, including TC-USA PAC. The figure does not include contributions made to presidential candidates It is for informational purposes only and is based on information given to TC-USA PAC on a voluntary basis. Therefore, this amount may be higher since TC-USA PAC may not be aware of all fundraising events and contributions given. (For contributions made by TC-USA PAC, please go to the Contributions Section.) TC-USA PACs purpose of keeping a tally of money raised for congressional candidates/committees and state & local candidates/committees by the Turkish American community is three-fold. | - First, it is to recognize the efforts of Turkish Americans who have worked diligently in raising money;
- Second, it is to motivate other Turkish Americans to undertake fundraising events; and
- Third, it is to show the American general public that Turkish Americans are actively engaged in the US political system.
| It is not the intent of TC-USA PAC to assume a dominant role in the Turkish American community. As a bipartisan organization, TC-USA PAC is interested and willing to work with other Turkish American political action committees and concerned citizens in carrying out its mission | - Supporting political candidates who endorse a strong US-Turkish relationship; and
- Encouraging Turkish Americans to participate in the US political process, including running for public office.
