- Description
- A tri-fold Barack Obama brochure, in Spanish and in English. The front features a black and white picture of Barack, Michelle, Malia, and Sasha Obama. Light blue and white text above the image on a blue background reads [FE EN EL / SUEÑO AMERICANO / FAITH IN THE AMERICAN DREAM]. [SUEÑO AMERICANO] is the central line of text and it is in the largest and boldest font. The inside of the brochure contains a color photographic image of a girl and a man wearing an Obama shirt, quotes from Barack Obama, and a bulleted list of Obama's policies. The policies relate to tax cuts for middle class households, ending the war in Iraq, ensuring access to health care, rewarding companies that create jobs in the United States, veteran affairs, immigration reform, and social security. The back features a color image of a rural landscape with [ÚNETE AL / MOVIMENTO / JOIN US] in large font at the center of the page. Below this is a red ribbon with Obama’s circular campaign logo in the middle. Below this, is a three-column list of the contact information for various Virginia campaign offices in Arlington, Dumfries, Falls Church, Manassas, Richmond, and Southern Fairfax County. Below the addresses and phone numbers of these campaign offices, a small block of text reads [NUESTRA COMUNIDAD DESEMPAÑARÁ UN PAPEL CLAVE EN LAS ELECCIONES DE 2008, / POSIBLEMENTE LAS MÁS IMPORTANTES DE ESTA GENERACIÓN, PARA PARTICIPAR, VISITE / VA.BARACKOBAMA.COM, O LLAME AL 1-877-850-2008, O TEXTO VA A OBAMA (62262)].
