Jacksonville Candidates Night TONIGHT!
26 09 2008Arab Americans voters are a key demographic with the potential to affect the outcome of this election. The Arab American Institute will be hosting a Candidates’ Night and Presidential Debate Watch Party on Friday, September 26th, 2008 at 7 pm at the Ramallah American Club in Jacksonville, Florida. This event will provide an opportunity for the community to engage their candidates and allow for greater insight into the issues that matter most to them this election year. Local and state representatives will be on hand for a moderated conversation with the community; surrogates at the Congressional level are also expected to attend.
Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama has sent AAI a personal, video communication that touches on his commitment to address the issues that concern Arab Americans and America as a whole. The McCain campaign will send a surrogate. At the conclusion of the Candidates Night, guests are invited to stay and watch the presidential debates.
A recent AAI poll, conducted by Zogby International, reveals that the economy, not the war in Iraq, is the top issue of concern for Arab Americans.
This is an opportunity to experience your local Arab American community’s reaction and discussion during the first presidential debate. Come see what this targeted community really thinks about the candidates.

Program runs from 7-9 pm
