This from the noble folks at the nonparisan, nonprofit voter advocacy group, APIAVote.org (who, incidentally, are currently seeking candidates to fill both internship-level positions and an Executive Director slot -- see the Asian American Village Jobs for Career Center for details.).

With the support of various national Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) organizations, we will be expecting 2000 community leaders, elected officials, voters, and students representing this diverse community from across the country to participate at the first National Presidential Town Hall hosted by our Asian American and Pacific Islander community.
