Folk,

It is time to make this email viral. Forward "the Power of One" email to every Ethiopian--friend, family, cousin, associate, neighbor etc. We currently have 50 of us in our small yet dedicated group, our goal by the end of May is to get to 1,000. Yes that is a very lofty goal, but can it be done? Yechalal!

We have a lot of events that we will be planning in order to ensure that the Ethiopian-American vote will be a significant voting bloc come November. In order for us to accomplish this goal, we will need to identify as many Ethiopians as we know who will have the same enthusiasm and dedication that we all share. Remember the power of one, if all of us are able to reach out to only five of our friends or family members, we will grow our group to over 500 in a very short time. Post this article on every facebook, myspace, blog, Ethiopian magazine, forward it on yahoo, hotmail, gmail--well you get the idea :) Let's make it happen and see our numbers grow by the day.
