8:40 AM - MEDIA ADVISORY: Obama Viral Video Artists Travel to Houston
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Feb. 28, 2008
OBAMA VIRAL VIDEO ARTISTS TRAVEL TO HOUSTON
Latino/Asian American Artists Behind "Si Se Puede Cambiar" Arrive Tomorrow
HOUSTON, TX – The artists behind the viral music video "Si Se Puede Cambiar" (Yes We Can Change) will fly to Houston, TX this weekend to volunteer for Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign. "Si Se Puede Cambiar" has now been posted to the internet with English, Vietnamese, and Korean subtitles, where it has been viewed more than 80,000 times in six days.
Singer/songwriter Andres Useche (30), an immigrant from Colombia whose father lives in Houston, will arrive in Texas on Saturday morning. He will volunteer on Latino outreach with California State Senator Gilbert Cedillo, who makes a cameo in Useche's video.
Useche said of his new hit song, "I felt disillusioned and powerless for many years as I watched our government fail us. But Obama's message awakened me. While volunteering for him, I experienced the spirit of renewed enthusiasm that has touched so many people, and this inspired me to write the song."
The opening words of the song — "For too long we have been sleeping, but we have been afraid to dream" — came to Useche while door-knocking in East Los Angeles with film director Eric Byler (36). The two began shooting the music video two days later on Super Tuesday, while Useche was still memorizing the lyrics. Byler, best known for South by Southwest award-winners CHARLOTTE SOMETIMES and AMERICANESE, said his favorite thing about the video is the volunteerism it captures. "We are a team that includes some talented artists, but more importantly we are a group of citizens who feel a responsibility to help move this country forward."
Byler and Annabel Park (39) fly to Houston on Friday morning from Baltimore, MD. Both are Asian American filmmakers who work closely with Latinos on the immigration issue. Park and Byler are co-directors of 9500 LIBERTY, an on-going series popular on YouTube documenting the politicization of the immigration issue in Northern Virginia. 9500 LIBERTY has generated 394,000 hits since October, including 132,000 for a video in which Park compares the Latino immigration experience to her own.
"The obstacles facing the Latino community today mirror my own immigration experience as a Korean American," said Park, who moved with her family to Houston at the age of nine. Tomorrow's return to Houston will be her first in two decades.
Park and Byler began their latest YouTube series, "United For Obama," on January 14th in Las Vegas, NV. The series chronicles road-trips, canvassing, and in-language phone calls (over 20,000 to Virginia from cities around the nation) on behalf of Sen. Obama. The videos include such celebrities as Kal Penn, Kelly Hu, Kerry Washington, and Tatyana Ali. But their most popular video by far is Useche's moving ballad.
Useche joined "United For Obama" after coming across their videos on the internet. "The internet has been a crucial component in this movement, and in our case in particular," Park said. "YouTube and Facebook have allowed us to collaborate with volunteers from around the country."

United for Obama's "Si Se Puede (cambiar)" Press Release
By Eric Byler
For Immediate Release
February 25, 2008
LATINO, ASIAN ARTISTS UNITE FOR OBAMA VIRAL VIDEO
***Spanish Language Obama Video Goes Viral With Mainstream Audience
LOS ANGELES, CA -- A pro-Obama music video intended for
Spanish-speaking voters in Texas has caught fire with a mainstream
on-line audiences across America, racking up over 56,000 hits in less
than three days, primarily from English speakers.
"Si Se Puede Cambiar" (Yes We Can Change)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ky8Hvq-F0U
"For too long we have been sleeping, but we have been afraid to
dream." So begins the Spanish language song "Si Se Puede Cambiar"
(Yes We Can Change) by Andres Useche (30), an immigrant from Colombia
living in Los Angeles. The song's emotional arc expresses Useche's
despair over the failures of the Bush administration, and the feeling
of empowerment and civic responsibility inspired by Senator Barack
Obama's candidacy.
"The lyrics were thoughts that have been growing within me, and I'm
sure, many others," explained Useche, who is fluent in both English
and Spanish. "Volunteering for this campaign focused my thoughts into
words that came out in a matter of hours."
The video was produced by "United For Obama," a team of Asian American
and Latino volunteers who have organized road-trips, canvassing, and
in-language phone calls (over 20,000 to Virginia from cities around
the nation) on behalf of Sen. Obama. Shot in five different states,
the video documents a wave of boots-on-the-ground volunteerism spurred
by its producers, Eric Byler (36) and Annabel Park (39), both Asian
American filmmaker/activists who work closely with Latinos on the
immigration issue. A swish-pan dissolve links Useche's Latino
outreach in East Los Angeles with Park's Korean American outreach in
Northern Virginia. The video was also shot in Maryland, New York,
and Nevada and features brief cameos by Asian American celebrities
Kelly Hu (X-Men 2), Kal Penn (Harold and Kumar), and Ken Leung (The
Sopranos).
"We don't want our communities to be the last to embrace this
movement," said Byler, a mixed race Chinese American best known for
the indie hit Charlotte Sometimes. "For various cultural reasons, we
probably will be the last statistically. But every person we bring
into the process is precious to us and precious to America, so this is
a precious time."
The video was co-directed and edited by Chinese American filmmaker
Warren Fu (32), who, like Useche, connected with Byler and Park
through YouTube. Fu, who directs music videos for such bands as The
Strokes, sent a YouTube message to YouTube.com/UnitedForObama after
seeing a video featuring actress Hu. Park responded suggesting he
edit the video being shot by Byler and Useche.
Fu points to unity across ethnic lines as an essential goal in his
artistic and political life. "We're Asian Americans collaborating
with Latino Americans with the goal of electing an African American
President," he said. "That in itself speaks volumes about the power
of this movement."
Webcastr CEO Tim Devine promised to promote the video sight unseen
based on a chance encounter with Useche. "I recognized his passion
for what he was doing, which I knew would show through to our Webcastr
viewers in the video he made," he said. Thanks to English subtitles,
the video received more than 19,000 hits on webcastr.com over the
weekend, and more than 36,000 on YouTube (despite the fact the video
sharing website was inoperative most of Sunday). The largest number
of hits were from English language websites like DailyKos.com.
"Although our target was Latino voters, it's exciting to see so many
English speakers embracing the message and sharing the video with
friends," Park said.

Si Se Puede Cambiar Launch report
Hi everyone and thank you so much your support for our music video! Thanks for the messages and comments on Youtube. It's very inspiring to connect with so many that like us believe in Barack Obama's quest to stop this war, claim the government for the people, not the corporations, fight discrimination of all kinds, offer better opportunity to the underprivileged and engage with the world in a more humane and honest way.

For Barack Obama: "Si Se Puede Cambiar" Music Video
Here's our video Si Se Puede
I wrote this song while campaigning with the grassroots group United for Obama.
Like many I've felt disfranchised for many years because I saw too many politicians playing games and not backing their promises with actions. In Barack Obama I found a leader that didn't bow down to corporate powers and who fought for what was right no matter what his audience was. He spoke of cutting gas emissions to automakers and spoke to the African-American community of the importance of ending discrimination but not only against them, but also by some of them, the discrimination against immigrants, the Jewish people or gays and lesbians. This struck a chord with me. We must fight discrimination of all kinds, not because it is personally convenient, but because it is the right thing to do. Because all of us as a society will be better off if we truly embrace equality and justice for all. Here is a man who not only offered a compassionate and effective way to offer healthcare to all but who also stood firm from the beginning against this despicable war when the position was unpopular.
I've heard people criticize him because he's a great speaker. They are really desperate if their attempt is put down his ability to energize people of all ages, genders and races to become active in the democratic process. What they are trying to ignore is the fact that we are not only responding to his eloquence, but also to the truth of his message. It is a message of a more balanced engagement with world, of an economy that is not rigged to benefit the few, a message of tolerance and progress.
It is this message that has awaken me, and so many of our young, from our long political slumber. It is this renewed enthusiasm that fuels this vast movement, and it is the plurality, the diversity of this movement which inspired me to write this song.
The lyrics were thoughts that have been growing within me, and I'm sure, many others, and as Barack galvanized our intentions, this campaign focused my thoughts into this words that came out in a matter of hours.
We recorded quickly and it is thanks to Eric Byler, Warren Fu, Loni Pham and Annabel Park that you are able to see the finished product so immediately after the fact.
It was a labor of deep-rooted conviction, born of a desire not to acerbate antagonism, but to help, in however small measure, to unite those of us who have been waiting for so long for a moment in which to step up and take charge in the betterment of this world. That's right, we can improve this world. It is not an impossibility. We can do it. Yes we can.

Obama wins ten states in a row
It was a good night. I was working on the editing of the music video for my pro-Obama song Si Se Puede with Eric (Byler, director of Charlotte Sometimes)and remotely with Warren Fu (who's up in San Francisco also working on the new Indiana Jones film) when we heard the fantastic news that Obama was the projected winner in Wisconsin and then Hawaii, and the margins just kept growing after that. What a night.I'm tired now but we hope to have a final cut on our music video by tomorrow night.
In the meantime here is two clips to celebrate.

New version of my song Si Se Puede
I just finished recording and mixing Si Se Puede half an hour ago. Hear it at: www.virb.com/useche
Friday, February 15, 2008
Our Moment is Now - Barack Obama
“When I am this party’s nominee, my opponent will not be able to say that I voted for the war in Iraq; or that I gave George Bush the benefit of the doubt on Iran; or that I supported Bush-Cheney policies of not talking to leaders that we don’t like. And he will not be able to say that I wavered on something as fundamental as whether or not it is ok for America to torture — because it is never ok… I will end the war in Iraq… I will close Guantanamo. I will restore habeas corpus. I will finish the fight against Al Qaeda. And I will lead the world to combat the common threats of the 21st century: nuclear weapons and terrorism; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease. And I will send once more a message to those yearning faces beyond our shores that says, “You matter to us. Your future is our future. And our moment is now.”

Latinos for Obama + song news
Hi! I'm rushing out to the recording studio to record the song I wrote in support of the campaign. In the meantime here's our Obama latino conversation including yours truly.

new political song: an update
Spent super Tuesday phone-banking, precinct-walking, filming, interviewing and performing a song I wrote the day before in support of Obama. At a campaign headquarters it was captured for radio and tv... we'll be recording a more definitive audio version soon and use the video we've shot around the country to create a music video which we'll post next week.
Best,
Andres
Best,
Andres
Romney drops out
Too bad there's already a clear front runner on the GOP side, but thank god it is anybody but Mitt Romney. He was fake, and flip-flopped to try to go for the more conservative base. He seemed to be catering to people as consumers and not citizens. His whole campaign looked like a giant, empty advertisement. But now we're left with McCain whose war hero status appeals to many who think patriotism can only be proven by fighting and killing other people (regardless of whether one is justly defending oneself or invading for monetary convenience)... What we need is a peace hero, not a war hero... anyway... If conservatives were honest with themselves they would move towards Huckabee right now. McCain's conservative credentials are less than spectacular... which is good, except McCain believes in a 100 year occupation of Iraq and a conflict-driven approach to foreign policy. With McCain, the democrat nominee, and Obama would be better at this, is to ask whether the people of the USA really have forgotten the pretenses on which we went into war, and if this approach in which we bomb, invade and occupy countries for a hundred years or more on the basis of lies is really going to foster good will around the world and whether this situation would really make the country more secure. Unlike real (or more regressive) conservatives, McCain might have more difficulty using the flags of bigotry, racism, xenophobia and homophobia to rally support amongst the uneducated and the prejudiced to support un-instigated, pre-emtive wars based on greed... or to trick people into going for economic policies that favor the few at the top of giant corporations and screw the poor and middle classes.

Kerry Washington, Kelly Hu,Tatyana Ali, yours truly and latinos for Obama interviews
These are some videos my friends at http://www.youtube.com/unitedforobama have shot recently. I was interviewed for some of them and brought a few friends to contribute their thoughts on why, out of all the candidates left in the field, Barack Obama would be by far the best President not only for the minorities but for everyone who believes in equality and an end to discrimination, division and injustice.
Tatyana Ali (recording artist/actress Glory Road,Kiss the girls, Fresh Prince of Belaire)

Si se puede
-Latinos, Barack Obama no se hecha para atrás en lo que dice. Barack aun apoya las licencias de conducción y un camino humanitario hacia la legalización. Incluso enfrentando gran oposición el candidato estuvo firme en contra de la guerra desde el principio, y no se dejo influenciar como otros que votaron a favor una la guerra basada en mentiras que tantas muertes ha causado. Barack Obama tiene la integridad y honestidad para traer el cambio necesario a este país. El no le dice una cosa a un grupo y otra a otros solo para conseguir votos: En la iglesia de Martín Luther King Jr el le pidió a la audiencia afro-americana que dejaran atrás la discriminación a otros grupos y que valoraran a los inmigrantes no como competencia sino como compañeros en la busca de oportunidad... En el debate televisado por CNN, mientras otros mantuvieron una posición hostil respecto a la influencia de los inmigrantes en la economía de otras minorías. Barack Obama dijo de frente que no se le puede hechar la culpa a una minoría cuando obviamente el problema económico es uno que sufrimos todos y es causado por la falta de inversión en infra-estructura, educación etc. Una economía en la cual el país invierte billones y billones de dólares en una guerra sin razón. Barack Obama no quiere dividirnos, quiere unir al país y sanarlo. Inspirarnos a ayudarnos los unos a los otros y tener una política exterior que exhauste las posibilidades diplomáticas antes de iniciar cualquier guerra. Obama, con un trasfondo racial mixto, y familia inmigrante, simboliza la armonía entre las distintas etnias y minorías de estos Estados Unidos de Norte América. Unámonos apoyando a Obama. El peleará por una mayor justicia e igualdad para todos. No es un sueño vacio, es un sueño que se puede realizar si lo crees. Si se puede... Si crees y votas con tu mente y tu corazón. Escucha sus palabras: Si Se puede, si nos unimos y nos movilizamos para alcanzarlo. Si se puede, este es el momento. Escucha el cantar de las masas... Si se puede. Únete y grítalo con nosotros Si se puede.
