Going to DC and looking for a great inaugural event, but shocked by the price of the galas? Then check out the APA for Progress AAPI Grassroots Gala and Afterparty! In an elegant venue in Adams Morgan at the heart of DC, the Grassroots Gala offers fine food, open bar, and award winning entertainment at half the cost of most galas. For those interested in late night partying, there's also an afterparty event to celebrate until dawn.

KIDS FOR OBAMA!
By TOMORI - Nov 5th, 2008 at 3:21 am EST
Hello Everyone!
We did it.
We have a new President. It was already early in the morning here when my Aunti Anne called. Then came SMSs and more calls. It was like a milliom partys going on.
I miss you all too, and I love you. I will NEVER forget you and all of the millions of hours we spent together.
Thank you for being nice to me and sometimes helping me with my homework in the Obama offices!
I also love you Dr. Karla and miss you sooooo much. Thank you for bring me to the Basketball games.
I LOVE OBAMA!!!!
Thank you President Obama for being nice to me even though I was nervous.
A brilliant speech capping a brilliant campaign, here is President-Elect Barack Obama's Victory Speech!
Hello, Chicago.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
Polls will be closing on the East Coast in just a few hours, and voters who have not yet made up their minds or are still hanging out waiting to vote need a call from you to get them to the polls and vote for Obama!

get assistance from local authorities you can report incidents do so directly at:
This is something I just created in association with DownBallotBlue.com. It's a little video that reminds you to vote Obama and Democrat all the way (as much as you can and especially in Texas-geez). Don't worry-it won't bore you to death! Even if you are Republican or Undecided you may still enjoy it. Ron Paul fans may even enjoy it. This is a little late in the game, I know, but there are still plenty of people who haven't participated in early voting. So pass it along and make it happen on Tuesday!
