George Takei's beautiful endorsement of President Obama:

George Takei: "We've got to be actively involved in the Electoral Process."

George Takei shares how far the AAPI community has come and why you should get involved in this election to help re-elect President Obama.

As George shares:

"We have a unique opportunity to support a president who is a part of us. He grew up in Hawaii—the Aloha Spirit. His sister is half-Asian—he understands and loves the Asian American community."

He has a nice voice - could listen to him for a long time!

Nice video with Maya Soetero-Ng. I like that the POTUS still has his sister, with both parents gone already, and her dad, too.
