For the past few weeks, local Latino leaders have been volunteering in Ohio to get the word out about Barack. On Saturday, Dennis Flores, a City Councilman from Lorain, was out all day knocking on doors in his community. As you can see from his car, Dennis is definitely an enthusiastic supporter.

When asked why he had given up his weekend and braved the cold weather to canvas for Senator Obama, Flores signaled to an event three weeks ago where he heard the Senator speak, "After seeing him in person, I was excited to get involved...I could really tell that this candidate is genuine and speaking from the heart when you see him up close."

Dennis is one of many Latino Obama supporters from the Lorain area. Joel Arrerondo, the President of Lorain City Council and David Flores, a former City Councilman, have also been volunteering with the campaign. They are pictured below with Dennis Flores and Joan Kato, our head of Latino Outreach for Ohio.

David Flores, a community activist in Lorain, said, "Even though I am no longer hold office, it is my responsibility to be active in the community." Remember, it's not too late for you to get involved!
