Join Women for Obama on our new organizing platform
|
--
Some of us Women for Obama are organizing for this campaign in a new way -- and you should join us.
We now have a group on Dashboard, the campaign's new organizing platform.
Join the Women for Obama group on Dashboard now. If you're not already on Dashboard, you'll be asked to create an account.
Dashboard is built by organizers, for organizers -- and since it launched a couple of weeks ago it's been growing fast.
It's where you can find out how to step up and grow this organization right away -- by getting plugged in with other supporters, making calls to voters, joining or planning an event near you, discussing the latest election news, and more.
The Women for Obama group in Dashboard will be your place to step up and help drive this campaign, as women across the country get out in their neighborhoods to talk with others about what's at stake this fall and help them get ready to vote.
Through our organizing, we've already reached thousands of women from coast to coast. But it's a tight race, and we've got a lot more to do before we can let up.
Dashboard will help us organize smarter and harder, from now until the very last vote is cast.
So join Women for Obama on Dashboard -- and let's make sure that the women we know are fired up to support President Barack Obama:

Since you're part of Young Americans for Obama, you should know about this
new cool way to connect with other members across the country.
Dashboard is our online hub for organizing -- and it's where you can
collaborate with other young Americans who are stepping up to support
President Obama. You'll be able to plan events, talk about the issues that
matter to you, and choose between lots of different ways to step up for
this election.
Swing by the Young Americans for Obama group on Dashboard right
now.
If you're not a member of Dashboard yet, you'll need to create an account
to get started.
Quite a few folks have already joined the group, and we're having
discussions every day about the campaign and our personal reasons for
joining. We're also hatching plans for getting our campuses and communities
organized and ready to vote for Barack Obama in the fall.
A huge part of how we won in 2008 is through folks like you owning this
movement online and in your neighborhoods.
Be a part of it this time around -- join Young Americans for Obama on
Dashboard:

Urgent:

Romney and the Republicans announced yesterday that they brought in more than $X million in June.
For context, that's about what we raised in April and May combined.
We're still tallying our own numbers, but this means their gap is getting wider, and if it continues at this pace, it could cost us the election.
We need to reverse this trend -- and we need to start now. Will you make a donation of $X or more today?
[url]
One hundred million is alarming enough, but it doesn't even include the millions pouring into pro-Romney super PACs -- or the fact that, unlike four years ago, it's perfectly legal for the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Karl Rove, and anonymous billionaires to funnel unlimited money into attacking President Obama in critical battleground states.
I'm proud of the way we build this organization. Through the primaries, more than three-quarters of our donations were from people giving less than $X. Meanwhile, in that same period, Mitt Romney's campaign raised three-quarters of its money from people giving $X or more.
If we don't take this seriously now, we risk finding ourselves at a point where there is too much ground to make up.
We need to do something about it. Today.
Please donate $X or more:

More to come.

We get hundreds of letters, emails, and phone calls from
supporters every day, and over the last couple months, one
awesome idea has come up more than a few times: the chance
to sit down for a conversation with Vice President Biden.
The Vice President is just as crazy about you as you guys
are about him. Every time he's out there shaking hands or
stopping by a local ice cream joint, you can barely drag
him away.
He's planning to spend some time with a couple grassroots
supporters over a cup of coffee sometime soon.
It could be you -- we'll fly you out, and you can bring
anyone you'd like. Chip in $X or whatever you can to be
automatically entered today:

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. It's a great idea
that's happening totally because of you.

I love coffee -- it's practically a requirement to work campaign hours.
But grabbing a cup with the Vice President? Unreal.
This is your chance to make that happen. Vice President Biden is planning to sit down with a few grassroots supporters sometime soon.
_Just make a grassroots donation before midnight tomorrow to be automatically entered to fly out and meet up with the Vice President on the campaign trail. _
Don't worry about your flight, your hotel, or your coffee. That's covered.
All you have to do is decide who to bring along, think of all the questions you have for the Vice President -- and save the date.
Joe Biden tends to have a story for every occasion, so get ready for a good one. But he also loves to hear from supporters, so don't be shy about speaking up.
Make sure your name is in the running before tomorrow's deadline by chipping in to be automatically entered here:

Who knows -- you could be grabbing a booth with Vice President Biden and a few other supporters sometime soon.

Betting on America
|
President Obama is wrapping up a campaign bus tour through northern Ohio and
western Pennsylvania, where he's been talking to people about his commitment to
investing in American workers and creating jobs here at home. Yesterday, he
backed up his words with actions by standing up to China's unfair trade
practices, and showed his faith in American workers and industry yet again.
As we've continued to learn this week, Mitt Romney has bet against America as a
private citizen, as a businessman, and as an elected official. Check out this
week's tipsheet for details, and be sure to let others know about the stark
differences between President Obama's and Mitt Romney's records when it comes to
protecting American jobs.
#1 Standing tall against unfair trade practices
Yesterday, President Obama filed a case with the World Trade Organization
against China's unfair trade practices. China has imposed more than $3 billion
in unfair taxes on more than 80 percent of our auto exports to China, including
cars made in Ohio and Michigan. But while the President has stood up and
enforced trade laws against China, Mitt Romney attacked the President's 2009
effort to stand up to China on behalf of the American tire industry, calling it
"bad for the nation and our workers." Check out this blog post about the
President's record of holding China accountable for its trade practices, and
make sure people you know have the facts on the issue:
#2 Map of Romney investments
A Vanity Fair article published this week revealed that Mitt Romney has heavily
invested in foreign tax havens, raising questions about whether he's ever
avoided paying U.S. taxes. We already knew that he had a Swiss bank account
until just last year, and that he still owns a mysterious corporation in
Bermuda. The article notes that Romney's finances are "deeply entangled" with
Bain Capital, including investment funds in the Cayman Islands. We don't know
all the details because he won't follow precedent by releasing his tax returns,
raising a lot of questions about his finances that Americans deserve to know the
answers to. Take a look at this map of Romney's known investments in offshore
tax havens, and make sure others see it, too:
#3 Do you have a Swiss bank account?
Do you have an offshore bank account? As far as I know, it's pretty unusual for
any American to have one -- especially someone who wants to be president of the
United States. But just to make sure we weren't missing anything, we asked some
people on the street whether they have an offshore bank account. Take a look at
the video, see what they had to say, and share it with your friends:
#4 What a president believes matters
The campaign released a new TV ad this week that highlights a key difference in
President Obama's and Mitt Romney's economic philosophies: The President
believes in an economy that expands manufacturing and brings jobs back to
America, while Mitt Romney's policies would encourage outsourcing, threatening
the security of the middle class. Watch the spot, and share it with your friends
and family:
Lastly, the Romney campaign and the Republicans announced this week
that they raised more than $100 million in the month of June. We're still
crunching our June numbers, but for context, that's about what we raised in
April and May combined. The President is counting on you, and he's betting that
the grassroots organization you're helping to build can overcome Romney's
unprecedented money machine. So thanks for stepping up -- now invite your
friends and family to join the Truth Team as well:

Stephanie
