According to a news report from the Austin American
Statesman, http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/politics/entries/2012/07/17/president_obama_to_make_fundra.html?cxntfid=blogs_postcards
, President Obama is scheduled is be in the Austin Music Hall for a fundraiser
event. Amongst the groups that he will meet is the LGBT (lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender). It was very recent that Obama announced that he was
pro-gay marriages and by meeting with the LGBT, it shows that he is serious on
taking that platform with his campaign. Another interesting point on his visit
to Austin is that Texas has traditionally been a Republican state. This means
that Texas’ electoral votes will most likely go to Obama’s opponents but the
fact that he will still visit Texas shows that he is really trying to appeal to
people’s interest everywhere, not just in swing states like Ohio. The article
is also worth noting for those of us who live in or plan on going downtown
today. Many roads will be blocked and security will be at high levels. Thus,
simply avoid downtown today if you do not want to be stuck in traffic. However
for those who wish to see the President, today is your best chance.
