The next class of organizing fellows is about to be picked for the last few months of this election -- and I think you should apply. I did, and I just spent an amazing summer organizing in North Carolina.

We've all got a personal story of why we support the President, and now more than ever, you've got to put it into action. Whether you're retired, in school, or just want to pitch in for President Obama's campaign as much as you can, becoming an Obama organizing fellow is the way to do it.

Get started with your application now:

It's up to all of us to make sure that every family has a shot at the American dream -- because that's really what's on the line this fall.

I became an organizing fellow in North Carolina because President Obama is working to help families like mine make a life for ourselves. My parents immigrated to the United States from India to go to college. They started from scratch, and taught me that if you put your heart into something and work hard, you should be able to make it in this country. I couldn't be more proud of what my parents have accomplished.

What motivates me to get up in the morning and go to work for this election is the opportunity to hear the stories of people from all walks of life, see what issues matter to them, and find the ways in which we can relate to one another. Plus, the local feel of this organization -- going out in your own neighborhood to make a difference for people around the block, or around the country -- is really something special.

Fellows are going to do some of our most critical organizing across the country this fall -- and with less than 100 days to go until every last vote is cast, you can bet that your role is going to be a big one. You'll do everything from organizing voter registration drives and team events, to managing your team's data, to training new volunteers.

And when voting starts, you'll be on the front lines helping get folks to the polls, and helping run one of the biggest get-out-the-vote operations this country has ever seen.

A fellowship in Massachusetts or in a battleground state this fall will be an unforgettable experience. It's an unpaid position, and it'll be a lot of work, but at the end of every long day you'll feel the change you've made.

So, are you ready to take this on?

What would you say if I told you Mitt Romney is choosing our own Governor Chris Christie for the VP slot on his GOP ticket?

It's time to start thinking about it.

Gov. Christie is on Romney's VP short list and has been for some time. This week his name crept back into the news, and with Romney expected to announce any day now, New Jerseyans have a job to do.

Most Americans don't know much about our governor. If and when Romney selects him, those who know him best -- and that's us, New Jersey -- need to be able to share the truth about Chris Christie from the get-go.

Share what you think Americans need to know about Governor Christie, and why a Romney-Christie administration would be a giant step back for middle-class families.

Your feedback will help hold Christie accountable on the campaign trail, if it should come to that.

As you know, there's no lack of material to work with here. Right now, it's our responsibility to make sure others know what they'd be getting into, too.

This could cost us the election.

Republican Governors across the country have enacted discriminatory voter suppression measures in swing states targeting minorities, the urban poor, and the elderly.

Aside from the fact that it's blatantly partisan -- since the voters affected traditionally vote for Democrats -- it's also an attack on millions of Americans' right to vote.

Please sign our petition to stop Republican voter suppression [url]

We have to stand up to this injustice.

We can't look back after Election Day knowing we could have done more to stop Mitt Romney and the Republicans from stealing this election. Add your name to show that you're fighting to protect our voting rights:
