Tadias, thank you for the welcome. I think you are doing an excellent job, and your magazine is second to none and certainly the best Ethiopian publication.

Anyway, I have supported President Obama from day one, and I am glad of his winning the Presidency of the US. The first Black man to do so. I think that will be very good for Africa and the third word in general, because he has lived and survived in our midst and knows better than any expert the reality that prevail in our countries.

Kedist is quite an inspiration and an asset to the Obama campaign. Her dedication and delightful nature make her truly deserving of the title Fellow. She is a gem! I love the way she is open with people from all walks of life which is in direct correlation with what Sen. Barack Obama’s focus is.

Love you,
your Jewish sister,

I am very happily surprised to see Kidest Geremew on your magazine. We were classmates way back when. I have seen your pciture one of the DC for Obama events, but I didn’t know how much you were involved. It is very inspiring and encouraging to see our own friend to be up there in the thick of it. I am proud and delighted you are out there not only talking the talk, but also walking the walk. All the best. GO OBAMA!!!!

Barack Obama’s view is that can lead to a more likely success strategy. His ability to unite Americans and the rest of the world, no matter their color, gender or social background is admired. That is why I am with Obama.

Kiddy, I am proud of you that you are ready to stand up and assume responsibility for our advantage. Yes, he is a symbol of truth. I associate you all the time with truth.

Any way, he is our nearest neighbor and brother. where do you think he get all this wisdom, personality and broadmindededness?

Kedist,

I am very pleased and proud to learn that you are one of the 3,600 people elected and trained as an Obama Organizing Fellow. I strongly support your hard work for change and I do not doubt that the result would be positive.

I appreciate your effort to make Obama win this presidential election and I would like to assure you that my families and I are on your side.

Kidest,

I am so proud of you. Since we were kids, you have always been determined to make a difference. We are so grateful for the hard work you have put into this campaign. Some people may be surprised by how passionate you are about Barack Obama becoming president, but to me it is Kidest just being herself. From the protests in Ethiopia to the hope for change in America, you have always been ahead of the curve. Keep up the good work. And when things seem difficult, just remember these three words: Yes We Can!

Kedist, you are carrying my heart with you as you do this work. Whatever happens in November you will know that you have given it your all, and history will know that our almost ex-democracy was brought back to life by this candidate and the good people like you who worked for his election.

Shine on! I am proud to know you.

Very well put. I am proud of your passion and commitment to bettering our world starting at the individual level. Although I am not a US-Ethiopian, I feel that you are an exemplar of the Ethiopian diaspora. We often extol the great deeds of King Conquerors and the unending endurance of swift-footed atletes but we must also bend our knees and bow our heads to those that toil in our communities for hope of better democratic representation of the distraught, disenfrancised, and dissaffected: for it is them that reinvigorates a democracy.

Thank you Kedist Geremaw and President-to-be Barack Obama.

Believe it or not I was ALSO sold just recently (like last week) after I read Obama’s book as well. He is a great guy folks. He is a true gentleman. He has my vote…1000%

I just want to say what an amazing time we are living in. Good luck Kedist and all the others who have been working their heart out to elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States.

I think he will make a fine President. And I predict that Americans will be pleasantly surprised and proud to have him as their leader. I just wish his mother was alive to see this on November 4th.
