Kwame majo Endoses Obama

Former Ghanaian-American Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate, "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng who is aspiring to become the first Ghanaian-American President of Ghana in 2008 Presidential elections, has said that he is heading a Multi-Cultural Coalition --- "Coalition of Naturalized Americans and Dual Citizens" to support United States' Democratic Presidential Candidate, Senator Barack Obama.

Recently, Ghana's Presidential Aspirant, "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng, (KWAME MAYOR) veered into United States' political waters by publicly endorsing Democratic Presidential Candidate, Senator Barack Obama for President "in order to unite and heal Americans !!!" - reminding Ghanaians and the rest of the World Community that long before Senator Barack Obama, an African - American with a Kenyan Father and a White Mother shot into political fame of America, he had tried his best to climb the "Political Mountain" of America, except that in his case, he could not reach the top of the "Political version of Mount Everest" !!!!.

The Politician noted on his increasing popular Campaign Website : WWW.KwameforPresident.Com that like Senator Barack Obama, those who were enthusiastic and supportive of his Political Campaign for Mayor of Los Angeles in 1993 and 1997, etc, were mostly "White Brothers and Sisters", whereas those who sought his downfall were mostly his own African People --- "although the good African Brothers and Sisters out-numbered the [few] who tried to pull me down by any means neccessary".

"Osagyefo" Kwame Mayor, whose series of up-coming books include "Long Before Obama : My Political Journey"; "The Un-told Story : Before Arnold Schwarzenegger : Kwame Mayor; "America's Mandela"; "The Wansam"; "The Last Emperor of Gold Coast Ghana", etc, etc, revealed that he sent the following endorsement message to U.S. and International News Media and to Obama for America's Campaign Camp:

" As the Founder and Leader of Uhuru Party, the first (proposed) Continental Political Party in Africa, and as the first Ghanaian -American to run for Mayor of Los Angeles (1993) and perhaps, the first indigenous African to run for a higher public office in the history of America - since America's Independence from Great Britain in 1776, and moreover, as a Presidential Hopeful campaigning to become the first Ghanaian-American President of Ghana (Elections 2008), I hereby publicly endorse Senator Barack Obama in his historic Campaign to become President of United States of America in order to unite and heal America !!!".

" I urge all "New Americans" : Naturalized Citizens and Dual Citizens - whether they are Ghanaian-Americans, Liberian-Americans, Ethiopian-Americans, Egyptian-Americans, Congolese-Americans, Sierra Leonian-Americans, Nigerian Americans; Moroccan-Americans, Senegalese Americans, Mozambique-Americans; Brazilian-Americans, Venezuelan-Americans, Cuban-Americans, Guatamelian-Americans; British Americans, Israeli-Americans, Palestinian-Americans; Russian-Americans, French Americans, etc, etc, to get out and vote for Barack Obama in order to demonstrate America's willingness to change in a "New Millennium" - for the sake of Unity, Reconciliation, Peace and for the sake of advancing America's noble ideals and ideas of All-inclusive Democracy, Freedom, Liberty and Equality and moreover, for the sake of saving the World !!!", the Ghanaian-American Politician again extolled Naturalized Americans and Dual Citizens.

The Politician repeated his earlier statement that just as Obama who was born in America has a birth right to run for President in America, he has the birth right, blood right and ancestral right to run for President in Ghana.

IN ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT, the Charismatic Politician again, asked World Institutions to assist him to organise his "Global March Against Poverty !!!", urging Ghanaians on his popular Campaign Website, WWW.KwameforPresident.Com to make preparations to stage Peaceful (Non-Violent) March Against Poverty in all the major Cities, Towns and Villages in Ghana, especially the Capital City of Accra and deliver a petition to His Excellency, President John Agyekum Kuffuor to remind him that "Ghanaians are suffering too much economic hardship today - in the same way they suffered severe economic hardhips under AFRC Military regime and especially, under Rawlings' PNDC Military regime which President Kufuor himself served and under Rawlings' NDC government !!!".

The Uhuru Leader, whose numerous strategic ideas have become Monumental in Ghana, (Yet Ghana's President John Agyekum Kuffuor has never given him Credit), also publicly appealed to Countries all over the World to participate in the "One Billion" Global March against poverty, asking World Citizens to march in Cities, Towns and Villages to deliver petitions to World Leaders : Presidents, Prime Ministers; Governors and Mayors on the need to marshall resources to fight poverty and diseases confronting the Millennium.

"Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng, ("KWAME MAYOR"), says he has not given up his lofty and humanitarian plans to lead a Peaceful "Global March Against Poverty" outside the premises of the White House to focus more attention on World's Poverty, Hunger; Malaria, Polio, Tuberculosis and Cancer, etc.

The Politician postponed the January 21, 2008 "Global March" to Washington, D.C. to allow Political, Community and Religious groups to help coordinate the event.

The Ghanaian-American Politician hinted that although two of his registered Non-Profit organizations in America - "Operation Democracy Endure" and "One Dollar Across America" will sponsor the "One Billion" Global March Against Poverty, Hunger; Malaria, Polio, Tuberculosis and Cancer, etc.", he would not hesistate to welcome Corporate, Business and Individual Sponsors for the public benefit and historic event.

" I will dedicate the Global March against Poverty to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and I would like to present a Petition to President George Bush to utilize his noble ideas and ideals of Compassionate America to combat World's poverty, hunger and diseases", said the Politician.

" I will urge His Excellency, President George Bush, the Leader of the Free World, to put pressure on his "Republican Ally" - His Excellency, President John Agyekum Kuffuor of Ghana to listen to the cries of the dying poor and the hungry; the suffering Middle Class and the un-certain rich in Ghana", said the Politician, idolized by his supporters around the World as the "Greatest Politician of all time - just as Boxing Legend, Muhammad Ali is revered around the World as the "Greatest Boxer of all time".
