Obama, the son of an immigrant himself, understands the values of Italian
Americans -- family, hard work, and education," said Bob Blancato, national Chair of the Italian American Democratic Leadership
Council (IADLC).
"With
our families threatened with job losses, reduced retirement incomes, and denial
of health insurance, now more than in decades we need a team like Senators
Obama and Biden who put working families first.
"We
enthusiastically endorse their candidacies and are working hard to elect
them."

15-year old IADLC (IADemocrats@gmail.com)
