Flier Urges Queens Residents To Push Congressman To Support Obama

By Staff Reporter of the Sun | March 13, 2008

A flier circulating in Southeast Queens is urging residents to pressure a local lawmaker to support Senator Obama.

The flier announces a protest in front of the Jamaica Avenue office of Rep. Gregory Meeks on Saturday. The flier informs residents that Mr. Meeks, a superdelegate, plans to vote for Senator Clinton as the Democratic presidential nominee. Residents of Southeast Queens voted for Mr. Obama, the flier reads. "Do Not Let Your Congressman GREGORY MEEKS Give Our SUPER DELEGATE Vote To Hillary Clinton," it reads. Organizers of the event could not be reached last night.

A call to the congressman's office was not immediately returned.
