Obama Bash and Fundraiser today @ The Candy Rush kicks off at 10am until 3pm

As the election voting nears, one women decided to jump start a grassroots idea and gathered several merchants of Crown Heights together to host a local fundraiser for Obama.  I was able to catch Ms. Raquel Wexler who gave me the skinny on this grand idea!!!!

KrystalKnows: Why did you want to start a fundraiser in your community?

Raquel Wexler:  To get local merchant to participate in fundraising and community mobilization.
