We are very excited to receive the first endorsement of the Asian
American Action (AAA) Fund of Greater Chicago.  We recognize the
important work that the AAA Fund has done nationally since 1999 to
advance the APA community and its interests so we are both proud and
grateful to receive this new chapter of the Fund's support.

Last Monday, the Asian American Action (AAA) Fund of Greater
Chicago celebrated its inaugural reception among an enthusiastic crowd
of over 150 guests at Phoenix restaurant in the Chinatown area of
Chicago.   And just as exciting, the AAA Fund used this occasion to
announce that for its first major political endorsement, the Fund would
be supporting the candidacy of Barack Obama.   The featured speaker,
Rep. Jan Schakowsky, who is an Obama supporter, congratulated the
organization for empowering the Asian American community in Illinois and
underscored that Senator Obama is committed to achieving the same goals.
Other honored guests included Congressman Danny Davis and Illinois State
Senators Iris Martinez and Kwame Raoul.  The AAA Fund is a progressive
political organization that is dedicated to increasing the voice of the
Asian Pacific American (APA) community in local, state and federal
government by helping to elect APA and other political candidates who
have a demonstrated commitment to the community, and by engaging APAs in
the political process.

Barack Obama looks forward to not only working with the members of the AAA Fund of
Greater Chicago over the coming months and years, but also the entire
Asian American and Pacific Islander community in his movement to
strengthen opportunities for all Americans.
