Read this article in the New York Times about Obama's efforts to reach out to the small, but influential group of Black Iowans.

The article is very interesting and the writer brings up a good point regarding minority voting. The minority vote is crucial in this election. There are some African Americans that believe that Senator Obama is the best candidate running for President, however, they don’t know if they will vote for him because they feel American is not ready for an African American President. This is simply not the case. Senator Obama has a wide base of support and if African Americans will vote for the best candidate and not whether or not they feel America is ready…Senator Obama will be elected…we cannot stand by and let this election pass by, we have active and engaged. Voters in Iowa, specifically minority voters have a great opportunity to shape the course of politics for the next 4-8 years. This moment should be seized…
