    ARMENIANS FOR OBAMA ACTIVISTS RALLY SUPPORT IN NEVADA

    Glendale area Armenians for Obama volunteers, working with the Obama
    campaign "sister-state" outreach efforts, shored up support for the
    Obama-Biden ticket in neighboring Nevada last Saturday - a critical
    piece of the 2008 electoral map in the race for the Presidency of
    the United States.

    "Armenians for Obama volunteers have spent hours upon hours reaching
    out to voters in Nevada and other swing states making the case for
    Senator Obama.

    Working closely with the Obama campaign has not only allowed volunteers
    to get a real taste of presidential politics, but has also proven
    to be an effective training grounds for broader Armenian community
    engagement in the American political process," said Areen Ibranossian,
    Chair of Armenians for Obama.

    Following last Friday's Presidential debate at Ol' Miss, the race
    headed into its final 5 weeks with Barack Obama showing an increasing
    lead in national polling. As both candidates continue to make their
    case to the American people, Armenians for Obama volunteers have
    ramped up efforts in battleground states to ensure Armenian Americans
    understand the fundamental differences between the two presidential
    candidates.

    "Senator Obama is the only candidate in the race to reach out to
    our community in a meaningful manner and to express his commitment
    to Armenian Genocide recognition, self-determination for th e people
    of Nagorno-Karabakh, and aid to Armenia," explained Ibranossian.

    "Senator McCain is opposed to all of those things, as we saw in
    his superficial statements released just this week. The choice for
    Armenian-Americans is clear: Barack Obama for President."

    Obama for President campaign coordinators in the 29th Congressional
    District praised Armenian American participation in local efforts. "The
    Obama Campaign is about people from different backgrounds coming
    together and taking ownership of the campaign to create change that
    will benefit all Americans. We are happy to see so much community
    involvement, as the campaign is powered by grassroots volunteers" said
    Patrick O'Connor, Regional Field Organizer for the 29th Congressional
    District.
