Why Vote for Sam Yoon for Mayor of Boston.

Big Wowo - Sam Yoon was personable, open, and fielded all him questions in an open manner.  He didn’t shy from ethnicity; he embraced it.  It’s rare to see a candidate address issues of race and culture in such a forthcoming manner.  Listen to this podcast.  Even if you support the opposition, you’ll be glad to benefit from his insights and experience.

I was very impressed with Sam.  For those who have followed my blogging career at newexcursion.blogspot.com, the Fighting44s, RiceDaddies, and bigWOWO, you all know that I almost never publicly endorse candidates for office, Asian American or not.  Actually, with the exception of Barack Obama, I don’t think I’ve ever asked anyone to go out and vote for a particular candidate.  

However, when a great candidate comes along, I’d be crazy not to endorse that person.  And so I am recommending that you ALL contact friends, family, and acquaintances in the Boston area and ask them to vote for Sam Yoon.  If you don’t know anyone in Boston, or even if you do, you can also help by donating money through Sagar’s page.  Sam Yoon was the first Asian American to run for public office in Boston, the first Asian American politician to win public office in Boston, and now the first Asian American politician to be endorsed by bigWOWO.

A large majority of bigWOWO readers lives in California, followed by NY, Oregon, Massachusetts, and then Washington, which is just right behind Massachusetts.  Most of us won’t be able to vote.  I’m not a Bostonian, and I can’t vote in this election, but I will contribute $ to Sam’s efforts, and I will do my best to use my network to get people to vote.  Let me tell you why.
