Calvey refuses donation from CAIR executive director
Kevin Calvey – Tuesday, July 13, 2010
OKLAHOMA CITY (July 13, 2010) — ­ Kevin Calvey announced today that he is refusing a donation from the Council on Islamic-American Relation (CAIR) Oklahoma’s executive director, Razi Hashmi.

“CAIR is a hypocritical organization that sympathizes with Islamic extremists and I do not want to have anything to do with them or their money,” Calvey said.

On July 10, Razi Hashmi attempted to contribute $25 to the Calvey for Congress 2010 campaign online. Calvey rejected the payment and did not receive the funds.

“I question Mr. Hashmi’s motivations for sending this contribution,” Calvey said. “I have been very clear that I reject CAIR’s racist attacks on Israel and the support they have lent Islamic extremists.

“It will be our campaign’s policy to reject any contributions that we know come from CAIR or those acting on behalf of CAIR. Until CAIR stops spreading anti-Israeli hate and begins working for peaceful understanding in the Middle East and at home, I will not support them.”

Kevin is running for Fifth District Congressional seat being vacated by Rep. Mary Fallin, who is running for Governor. As a member of Congress, Kevin will work to promote conservative, Constitutional free enterprise policies and to impede the liberal agenda being pushed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Obama.
Kevin served his country in Iraq during the 2007 troop surge. Right after the start of the Iraq War in 2003, Kevin sought a commission in the Army National Guard at age 37, “old” by Army standards. Kevin’s mission in Iraq was to prosecute al Qaeda leaders and other terrorists in the Iraqi court system. Kevin was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his service.
