Ethiopians for Barack Obama heading back to Philadelphia

ethiopiansforbarackobama.com

Ethiopians for Barack Obama will be making a return trip to Philadelphia on Saturday April 19th from the Washington, DC metro area and returning on Sunday April 20th. The aim of the road trip to Philadelphia is to canvass and reach out to voters in conjunction with the Barack Obama headquarter office in Philadelphia. Additionally, we will be reaching out to the Ethiopian-American community by attending the Kidus Ammanuel Church on Sunday morning.

There are thousands of Ethiopian-Americans who live in the greater Philadelphia area and Pennsylvania as a whole. Barack Obama enjoys an overwhelming level of support within the Ethiopian-American community; the aim is to translate that support into votes. We will be embarking on our trip to Philadelphia on Saturday April 19th at 12:00 PM. The meeting location is going to be at Etete Restaurant @ 1942 9th St NW.

We have contacted the Barack Obama headquarters in Philadelphia and they are looking forward to any and all help they can get to encourage people to vote on the April 22nd Pennsylvania Primary. This is our chance to make a big difference; Barack Obama lost New Hampshire by less than 8,000 votes. A robust turnout from the Ethiopian-American community in Pennsylvania could be a decisive factor.

If you want to join the Ethiopians for Barack Obama roadtrip to Philadelphia, please email theodorefikre@yahoo.com Please put “Trip to Philly” in the subject header, and include your contact information. A follow up-email will be sent with hotel and trip accommodations. Please forward this information to all family and friends who want to be a part of this historic campaign.
