For all
|
Growing up, my classmates and I started every day with a ritual: We'd stand up, put our right hand over our hearts, and say the Pledge of Allegiance.
To me, that gesture was a promise. A promise to be involved and engaged in this country's future. A promise to work for liberty and justice -- and for affordable education, health care, and equality -- for all.
That's why all across the country, people like you and I are proudly writing down our reasons for getting involved, and then taking the pledge -- to vote.
Share this on Facebook and make sure all your friends get registered and ready to vote:

This election will have consequences for everyone. Rich, poor, black, white, Hispanic, Asian American, gay or straight, every American has something to lose -- and something to gain -- from what happens this November. As Americans, we're in this together, for one and for all.
So let your friends and family know you care, and make sure they have all the information they need to make their voices heard in this election.

P.S. -- Make sure you're ready to vote this fall. Putting your hand over your heart is making a promise. Casting your ballot is keeping it:

Tomorrow: Make some calls to Pennsylvania
|
Obama - Biden
Last week we came together online and made calls to voters here in Pennsylvania -- one of our most important battleground states -- and the response was incredible. We completely shattered our goals in only two short hours.
That's amazing. And there are still thousands more Pennsylvanians we can reach out to -- so let's do it again!
Tomorrow, folks in New Jersey will be making calls to folks in Pennsylvania. We'll talk about what's at stake in this election, and the President's plan to move our country forward.
Can you join a short training on Thursday, September 20th -- and then make 10 or more calls to help win Pennsylvania?
Here are the details:
What: Call tool training and call time
When: Thursday, September 20th Training starts at 6:30 p.m.
RSVP now
With the campaign's call tool, connecting with voters has never been easier. Whether this is your first time or you've used the call tool before, a quick training session beforehand will get you all ready to start making those calls. And while you're dialing, you'll know that folks all over your state are doing the same, right then and there.
When we win in November, it will be because of one-on-one connections like the ones you make over the phone. If you can inspire just one person to go to the polls, you'll have made a big difference. And the conversations you have tomorrow could give us the edge in Pennsylvania to bring home a win for Barack Obama.
Can you help? RSVP for the training session, and then get ready to make some calls:

Hope you can join us!

One of the most effective ways we can ramp up our organizing is by making calls to recruit volunteers and get out the vote.
That's why we're kicking off our New York Call Team -- a special group of volunteers dedicated to making the important calls we need to make from now until November. If you're ready to take the next step in this election, you should be a part of it.
Interested? Join the team today:

As part of the New York Call Team, you'll be making calls to help mobilize supporters in nearby states, talk to voters about the President's record, and get out the vote in the last days of the election.
The best part? You'll be using the call tool -- so you can make calls anytime during the day, without having to leave your home. Once you log in to the call tool, we'll give you a list of contacts and a script that will help you know what to say.
Making these calls is an incredibly important part of our
it's all hands on deck.
So head on over to Dashboard and start making calls today:

Obama - Biden
Look, I know an email about the Obama for America budget may not be as cool as, say, a huge sale on fall jackets, but I gotta tell you:
Right now, I'm making some of our biggest budgeting decisions of this election.
I'm getting requests for the last weekends of voter registration drives in Ohio and North Carolina, and the final staff to put in place in certain battleground states, and we're about to hit a point where there's no turning back.
There are a lot of decisions that are sitting in my maybe pile, and they're either going to be a yes or no, depending on what happens next.
You have a chance to make this easy for me, and for everyone out there on the ground who's waiting.
Chip in $X or more for the last 47 days of this campaign today.
If you're like me, you have a lot of reasons you're gung ho about winning this election.
There's a ton on the line, and there is so much we want to do to bring this election home -- but only 47 days left.
We're not waiting on any millionaires to cut big magic checks for the last few weeks. You decide if we have the resources to do this.

Where we stand right now, this race is incredibly close. I don't think there's much value in looking at the polls these days, but if you do, you'll see that one day President Obama is up by 2 percent, and then Mitt Romney is up by 2 percent the next. Sometimes, they're dead even. The election is truly anyone's game. And what we do right now will determine who wins.

It's what will always unite us.
There are just 47 days left until Election Day.

As we're organizing the last dinner with supporters on my last campaign, our kind of politics is running up against a very cynical calculation:
That a few billionaires writing $X million checks are enough to overpower the voices of millions of Americans.
That's why I want to meet you for dinner.
Donate $X or whatever you can to our people-powered campaign, and be automatically entered to join me -- hotel and airfare covered for you and a guest.
Overnight, we aren't going to change the rules that allow outside groups to spend hundreds of millions of dollars attacking me on the airwaves.
So we have to stay on the case every day.

Because your donation today helps more than if you waited until the last week or two of the campaign to donate. Really, it does.
The resources we have today help do the things we just can't do later. Things like funding voter registration drives before deadlines come up around the end of the month. And your donation today can help hire that enthusiastic, young field organizer for the full last six weeks of the campaign -- something we simply can't do with just a few weeks to go.
So there you have it. Enter this cool contest, and help President Obama win the much bigger one coming up in just 47 days:

At 12:01 a.m. exactly one year ago
|
As a gay veteran, I had never thought I'd see the day come.
At 12:01 a.m. exactly one year ago today, gay servicemen and women became free to serve openly, thanks to the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" DADT .
My mom raised me to be an honest man with a deep love for my country. When I joined the Navy in 1998, my patriotism came first and my personal life second.
When I chose to leave the armed services, it was because I didn't want to lie anymore. I wasn't ashamed of who I am, and I didn't like feeling as if my country was ashamed of me, either.
There are thousands of gay veterans like me who never got a chance to serve openly, more than 13,000 troops who have been discharged, and countless men and women who might have chosen to serve their country had the policy not been in place.
With the repeal of DADT, I felt a renewed sense of pride in my service, and I know I'm not alone.
Our military is more united than ever. Valor and sacrifice aren't limited by sexual orientation. First-class heroes aren't treated like second-class citizens based on who they love -- gay and lesbian troops don't have to serve our country under false pretenses.
This is what change looks like.
I'm proud to work to re-elect this president. And I'm even prouder to cast my vote for President Obama again this fall.
If you're proud, too, commit to vote today:
