Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention was even more amazing than the first. The big news of the day, of course, was Sen. Hillary Clinton’s powerful unity speech. She hit it out of the park with her impassioned call to arms for Sen. Obama, and she left no doubt that the choice between Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain could not be starker.
But it was also a big day on the Asian American & Pacific Islander front. It will also be a day I’ll remember forever, because I got to meet Maya Soetoro-Ng and Konrad Ng in person! Not only that, but Maya gave me a big bear hug! I felt like I could go out and beat John McCain myself after that!
But it doesn’t end there - I also met one of my first great AAPI heroes, former San Jose Mayor, Congressman, and Secretary of Commerce and Transportation Norman Mineta and superstar Daniel Dae Kim from Lost. And all of this happened just at breakfast.
API Queers United for Action (AQUA) and Asian Pacific Islander Queer Sisters (APIQS) are holding a DC Queer Asian American Presidential Endorsement Forum in Washington, DC.

Listen to this wrap up of the speakers and convention business on Day 3, including discussion of speeches by President Bill Clinton, Sen. John Kerry, Tammy Duckworth, and our new Vice Presidential nominee, Sen. Joe Biden.
Tammy Duckworth, Director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, and former Democratic candidate for Congress, will lead off the final hour of tonight’s Democratic National Convention program, speaking about military policy and veterans care.
Thai American Duckworth graduated from McKinley High School in Honolulu, the same alma mater of Sen. Dan Inouye, and also from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa.
Duckworth lost both of her legs in November 2004 due to injuries she suffered when the Black Hawk helicopter she was piloting north of Baghdad was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade hit the cockpit.
