Now that Mark Keam has clinched the Democratic nomination for Virginia State Delegate from the 35th District, it’s time to work to keep Virginia blue and beat the GOP in the fall. The Asian American Action Fund will be hosting an awesome fundraiser for Mark featuring numerous Asian American leaders, including former Sec. of Transportation and Commerce Norman Mineta, Survivor winner Yul Kwon, former Assistant Sec. of Energy (and fellow Texan!) Robert Gee, and former Vice Chair of the EEOC, Paul Igasaki.

If you in the Northern Virginia area this coming Monday, drop by and give Mark a few bucks to keep the Democratic wave going in Virginia!

Details below the fold.

Dear Friends,

Please join us this Monday, November 24th as we gather to support Democratic Georgia Senate candidate Jim Martin! We had a great victory on November 4th, but there is still more to do to insure President Obama has the support he needs to bring about the change that has inspired so many to move.

A beautiful testimonial from VA AAPI Field Director Bao Nguyen - thank you to Bao and to VA for making this happen! :)

This journey has been incredibly tiring and I have spent the last few days resting and reminiscing about it all. With that said, I wanted to thank you all for being part of this amazing journey. We were able to turn Virginia Blue for the first time in 44 years, we were able to put this country in the right direction again, and we were all a part of history as we helped elect the nation’s first African-American President. This could not have happened without all your efforts.

Dear Obama supporter,

You have all worked so hard to make next Tuesday, November 4th, a day of celebration. Between all the phonebanking, canvassing, messaging and rallying, Generation Obama has united massive support for the Obama/Biden campaign which will change the course of history at the polls next week!

To celebrate our dedication together, please join us at the *official* Election Night Gala at the Hyatt Century Plaza Hotel in Century City. The event is FREE to the public; festivities start at 8:01pm and last until 2:00am. We have stellar line up of musical acts, comedians, and appearances by many of our state and local politicians.

Halloween Party in the West Village - You are invited!

Wanted to extend an invitation to my favorite Obama supporters for a Halloween party at Virginia Davies’ penthouse in the West Village this Friday evening from 8:00 to 10:00pm. Virginia has hosted Sen. Barack Obama, Gov. Dean and recently President Clinton and is an amazing host. The party will benefit Gov. Shaheen who is running a close US Senate race in my home state of New Hampshire. She is ahead in the polls, but behind in the money race, so we can really help her out. You can find all the details and RSVP by making a contribution of any amount at this link: https://jeanneshaheen.org/contribute/Halloween

Caroline Fan blogged Wednesday night’s debate at a NYC watch party, attended by 170 people and which raised about $1,500. Here’s her blog entry:

I hotfoot it over to the Obama watch party tonight, and I’m pleasantly surprised to find the room packed just 10 minutes into the debate. I see some people that I know from college and others who I’ve just met in the course of the campaign. “Joe the plumber” is a running joke that gets laughs from the crowd, and a few people have turned it into a drinking game. It’s a large and boisterous crowd, with as many Asian Americans as not. Fumi, a first time Obama event attendee, says he came because “I was going to watch the debates anyway and I thought I might meet some interesting people.”  The grassroots fundraiser tonight is being sponsored by NYC Asian Americans for Obama, South Asians for Obama, Filipinos for Obama, and Korean Americans for Political Advancement.
 
Andy Woo from Councilmember John Liu’s office says: “I’m proud to root for Obama, especially since he’s in our home state of NY tonight and we’re going to rally our troops to get out to the battleground states.”
 
The crowd boos when McCain says, “If you wanted to run against President Bush you should have run 4 years ago.” On deficit and spending priorities – Obama rebuts McCain by saying “Even FOX News disputes it” – a line drawing lots of laughs and cheers.
