Asian Americans for Obama: Fired Up? Ready to Go? To Vegas?

Posted on January 10, 2008 by John

I was just checking out the “Asian Americans for Obama” website, and came across the latest efforts by that organization for the Nevada Democratic caucus:

“A group of very cool Asian American artists, celebrities, filmmakers, and activists will be converging in Vegas to work on Obama’s Asian American outreach for the Nevada Caucus on Jan 19th. Let’s be part of the change and have a great time in Vegas while at it. Campaign during the day then gamble and karaoke the night way. Confirmed: Eric Byler & Kelly Hu. Come for the days that you can come.”

More details on the site. As I have commented many times before, it’s great to see Asian Americans, who are the least likely to vote or volunteer in politics, get involved in our democracy, especially in a grass roots way. I’m currently supporting another candidate, but maybe Kelly Hu can help change my mind?

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - .
(Nah, it's cool; just take me back.)
