As the sun set last Saturday, the party was just beginning in Seattle’s Chinatown/International District. Dozens of local small businesses set up booths to sell Chinese pastries, Vietnamese sandwiches and Japanese noodles to several hundred local Washingtonians. Among the crowd were Obama supporters donning stickers and signup forms to encourage Asian American Pacific Islanders to vote. Supporters talked to dozens of local Washingtonians and registered many of them to vote.
According to Christine K, a first time voter, “As an Asian American, I believe that Barack Obama speaks for me. I believe that he understands the problems that my family faces and I trust him to be my president.”
