   Founding President of PCC-USA, Ashraf Abbasi, spoke about the House Resolution # HR-1 in Congress which proposes to cut aid to Pakistan. He asked the Chief Guest and other members of 110th Congress to amend this bill because Pakistan has made unprecedented sacrifices for America. The country and people of Pakistan deserve to be rewarded and not punished for being front line state with America against war against terrorism, he said. Abbasi asked the audience to sign the prepared letter provided by PCC and mail it to their congressional leaders asking them to amend this bill in favor of Pakistan. He also quoted from Rumi's poetry to support his argument and warned the chief guest that if he would not support Pakistan's cause, the community would not back him either in his next bid for office. Abbasi said Muslims and Pakistanis in Sugar Land supported Nick Lampson for Congress and now it is the Congressman's turn to support the cause dear to Pakistani Americans.
