Ethiopians in Ohio and Texas will have a chance to deliver a resounding victory on Tuesday, March 4th. We encourage all Ethiopians to make a phone call to a family or a friend in either Texas or Ohio and strongly encourage them to vote this coming Tuesday for Barack Obama.
Additionally, in the state of Ohio, all Ethiopians who became citizens in the past 5 years are automatically registered to vote. This is very important because the democratic primary in Ohio states that you have to be registered at least 30 days before the primaries in order to be eligible to vote. However, those who have become naturalized in the past 5 years are automatically registered.
All Ethiopians are invited to the Renaissance Hotel in Washington DC to celebrate Barack Obama’s decisive Tuesday on his way to the White House.
For Ethiopians, this is a special day; Barack Obama has garnered overwhelming support from the Ethiopian community. Ethiopians for Obama embarked on a journey to Columbus Ohio this past weekend, and the enthusiasm and the level of dedication that Barack Obama has in the vast Ethiopian community in Columbus was amazing. At every stop, whether in Ethiopian churches, the Ethiopian markets, or the Ethiopian restaurants, men and women of all ages were effusive in stating their intention to vote for Barack Obama.
For those of us in the Washington, DC area, we will have a chance to celebrate on March 4th at the Renaissance Hotel’s Presidents Sports Bar. We encourage all Ethiopians in the Washington DC area to come out and support Obama, there are hundreds of Ethiopians who volunteer and work for the Barack Obama campaign. This is a chance for everyone to come together and watch the results of the March 4th Primaries.
The Presidents Bar has 9 flat screen HD televisions located throughout the bar. Audio will be piped in throughout the bar with the Presidents Bar premium sound system. Everyone will be able to view and hear the results of the primaries as they come in.
Although there are plenty of seats available through the expansive bar, turnout for this event is expected to be high, so please RSVP to ensure entry. Pease RSVP at: http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/4rbbb
