During the last ten days leading to November 4th, Ladies Lotto will bring you fresh views on the election and what it means to Americans on either side of the fence. ----
In the 2008 presidential election everything seems to be seen in terms of Black, White and on occasion Brown. However, where are the views of America's third largest and most educated minority? In the past many Asian American/Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) were typically non-partisan or didn't vote at all, so their votes weren't being courted in the same manner as Blacks and Latinos who tend to have firm political preferences.
Adele Pham gathered insightful first-hand accounts of AAPI voters in Falls Church, Virginia who like many other undecided voters will be the defining factor in who'll be the next president of the United States.
While the video is hosted on Asian Americans for Obama, McCain supporters are allowed to have their say.
Founder Natalie Blacker's future plans for Ladies Lotto include expanding the overall brand and its network into new major markets, as well as the development of a grant foundation to further its members, an annual conference of member-driven lectures and forums, and collective productions in both music and print media.
