Ramping up Armenians for Obama efforts in battleground states in the
critical last weeks of the presidential campaign season, activists
Nora Keomurjian and Karine Birazian updated Obama Presidential
Campaign Senior advisor Valerie Jarrett about the group’s nationwide
actions. The discussion took place a "Pennsylvania Women for Obama"
event held in the heart of downtown Philadelphia, which brought
together a select group of community women leaders and grassroots
activists from throughout the Keystone State.
Following the function, Birazian and Keomurjian had an opportunity
to speak with Jarrett on the work Armenians for Obama has been
doing throughout the region and stressed to her some of the recent
accomplishments by Armenians for Obama. During their discussion the
two activists provided Jarrett with a copy of The Atlantic magazine
article, "McCain’s Armenia Problem", along with a weekly report put
out by Armenians for Obama on its activities and accomplishments. "It
was truly an honor to meet with Valerie Jarrett. She was able
to connect with her audience on such a personal level and as an
Armenian-American woman I was touched by the deep interest she took in
our community’s efforts to elect Senator Obama our next President,"
said Nora Keomurjian. "She was genuinely impressed with our efforts
and was eager to learn more about Armenians for Obama and its work."
"As Armenian-Americans it is our responsibility to help elect
Senator Obama our next President because of his strong record on
Armenian issues," commented Birazian. "Valerie Jarrett understands
our community’s struggles and she respects the work that we
are doing. Compared to Senator McCain’s record and his campaigns
disingenuous attempts at outreach with our community, the choice for
this November is clear," stated Birazian.
