Obama-Biden Campaign Welcomes European and Mediterranean American National Leadership Committees
Chicago, IL – The Obama-Biden campaign today welcomed the formation of a dozen European an d Mediterranean American National Leadership Committees. These committees, comprised of prominent leaders from across the country — Governors, Senators, Members of Congress, diplomats, labor leaders and others — showcase the continued and growing support for Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
“I’m honored to receive the support of these European and Mediterranean Americans. As immigrants and the descendants of immigrants, European and Mediterranean Americans have a deep commitment to their families and their communities. And like all Americans, they want an economy that creates jobs and restores opportunity, a quality education for their children, affordable and accessible health care – the very promise that their children’s tomorrows will be better than their yesterdays. I am running for President to restore that promise and put the American Dream within reach for them and for all Americans,” said Senator Barack Obama. Over 200 Americans from 12 different European or Mediterranean backgrounds have come together to endorse Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden; They have formed 12 different national leadership committees. “In these uncertain and tough times, Croatian Americans, like all Americans, are looking for a President that provides steady leadership and puts the middle class first,” said Representative Peter Visclosky (IN). “Barack Obama will be that President – a President who, by his example, demonstrates that achieving the American dream is still possible, and who, with his policies, will make sure that it can be a reality for all Americans.” |
| Demokrati bliži američkim Hrvatima Piše: Erol Avdović
Naši su iseljenici u Americi ‘solidni konzervativci’ koji tradicionalno glasaju za republikance, no ove godine Amerikanci hrvatskog podrijetla mogli bi u najvećem broju svoj glas dati demokratima i Baracku Obami

There’s no one as Irish as Barack OBama

– Uglavnom je samo prva generacija imigranata konzervativna…, ali je zato već druga sasvim drugačija – kaže Bach u razgovoru za naš list. Kao glavni razlog za pojačane simpatije prema demokratima on ipak navodi razočaranje u Bushevo predsjedavanje.
