Conyers Statement on Muslim-American Congressional Interns

Congressman John Conyers

For Immediate Release
October 15, 2009
Contact: Jonathan Godfrey

"It shouldn't need to be said in 2009, and after the historic election of our first African-American president, but let me remind all my colleagues that patriotic Americans of all races, religions, and beliefs have the right - and the responsibility - to participate in our political process, including by volunteering to work in Congressional offices.  Numerous Muslim-American interns have served the House ably and they deserve our appreciation and respect, not attacks on their character or patriotism."
