I wanted to call your attention to this op-ed by Presidential candidate Barack Obama published in the February 29th issue of India Abroad (http://www.safo2008.com/Media/India_Abro...9_2008.pdf). I hope you will not only take the time to read this piece, but pass it on to others as well. This piece is important for a number of reasons, but I want to focus on just two in particular. First, to have a serious candidate for the presidency, who is the front-runner for his partyâs nomination, take the time at this moment in the campaign to reach out to the Indian-American community in such a fashion is truly emblematic of how far we have come as a relevant voice in American politics. Second, he both comments upon the vital issues of the day for our community and is an articulate proponent of the positions we as a community espouse.
If, in fact, Senator Obama wins the nomination of his party and becomes President of the United States, it will be critical for Indian-Americans like yourself to hold him accountable to his proposed agenda and maintain a firm grasp of his outstretched hand throughout his time in office.
With warm regards,
Sanjay Puri
Chairman of USINPAC
