Maya Soetoro Ng Get Involved with OFA AAPI
Published on Aug 22, 2012 by BarackObamadotcom
Join AAPI for Obama: http://OFA.BO/fE4XhR
President Obama's younger sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng shares why the AAPI community is important to her and to the President. She also shares how President Obama has worked to include AAPI issues and concerns in his administration as well as how AAPI's will play a big role in re-electing President Obama in November.
As Maya shares:
"My hope is the AAPI community will participate in unprecedented ways. Please come forward, if you haven't already participated politically a wonderful place to begin, of course, is with this election-registering other voters, speaking about why this Presidency matters, speaking to what might be possible and what we can build together in the future."
I think this was posted by Tx4obama, but I couldn't find it again. I posted it within an OP I wrote, where I said this:
Most people in the USA have different ethnic and racial members within their family circles, just like the Obama family does. Enjoy that beautiful cross section of humanity as described by Barack's sister. This is what is normal and right about America and the world. IMO, this is the default position of humanity, not this 'other' obsession that the GOP has been tossing out.

I like her. Wish she would have been my education mentor. She seems like a good person.
