APIAVote is a national nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that encourages and promotes civic participation of Asian Pacific Islander Americans in the electoral and public policy processes at the national, state and local levels. APIAVote envisions a society in which all Asian Pacific Islander Americans fully participate in and have access to the democratic process.
With the support of various national Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) organizations, we will be expecting 2000 community leaders, elected officials, voters, and students representing this diverse community from across the country to participate at the first National Presidential Town Hall hosted by our Asian American and Pacific Islander community.
Join us for this historic event and learn about the candidates before voting in the general election in November, 2008.
Invitations to each campaign were received and we are working with the campaigns to schedule each candidate?s appearance.
Persons requiring special accomondations should contact townhall@apiavote.org.

[A few different in-the-know Asians have mentioned this event to me. This is going to be one of the big Asian American networking and meeting events this year. Agendas will be set. The three candidates had better be there. Clinton is probably going to be there. Obama is silent -- sending his sister isn\\'t going to cut it. McCain having an adopted South Asian child isn\\'t going to cut it. These men need to get their white and half-white asses into the seats. -jk]
