I have spent my life working closely with Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. I was raised in both Hawaii, a majority AAPI state, and Indonesia and Asian Americans are close members of my multi-racial, multi-ethnic family. I have spent my career in Springfield and Washington working on behalf of Illinois' vibrant and diverse AAPI communities.

I came to understand that to truly solve the problems facing our communities, it would take a change in our laws and our politics. I ran and served for seven years in the Illinois state Senate, where I fought for expanding children's health care, providing tax cuts for the working poor and enacting welfare reform. In 2004, I was elected to the U.S. Senate, where I have worked to pass laws securing dangerous weapons and making government more accountable. I have also opposed the Iraq war from the start, and believe that we need to bring our troops home so we can refocus on the wider struggle against terrorism.

Of all my life experiences, I am most proud of my wife Michelle and my daughters Malia and Sasha.

I currently live in Dover, DE and work at Applebee's. I have a friend with whom I work with, and she so PASSIONATE about you and your work. Recently I didn't have the slightest idea who I wanted to vote for... reason being... I hadn't done my homework yet on either democratic party. Truthfully I was leaning towards you already... but I didn't want to vote unfairly either without knowing as much as I could about the other. I believe what you are doing for America and what you want to do for America is woderful and I support you all the way! You can thank my friend at work for giving me the heads up about you. She has me extremely interested in your book: The Audacity of Hope. I am so not a political person... in fact... I cannot STAND politics... they give me headache. But I will promise you this... come November, you have my vote! Because of you I watch the news longer than 10 minutes. Because of you I will tolerate politicians and do my homework on them, just so that I may keep up with you. You ARE the base that America truly needs to replenish herself once again. There are so many things out there that need to be fixed because of those... those... baka igits (stupid idiots... in japanese) I just pray that you stay true to your word and do all that you say you will do for us once you are voted in office. There is no doubt in my mind that you will not win... or else that would be a sad, sad so very sad day for America.... and I am quite sure that everyone here agrees with me. I hope that you will respond to this. ^_^ Your new follower, ~Aijin
