OFA newsletter for supporters



Thank you so much for your generous support of this campaign and for strengthening our grassroots organization.

I want to make sure you know how crucial your support has been in the fight to re-elect Barack Obama. So here's a special update on some of the most important things happening as we head into the final days of this election.

I think you'll be proud of what you are helping make happen around the country.

1. Thousands of people across all 50 states are canvassing, phone banking, and getting out the vote.

As you read this, voters are planning their day at the polls with our new online tools:

[url] They're committing to vote early in certain states -- and supporting our efforts further by canvassing, traveling to battleground states, phone banking at local offices, and

a qualified team of voter protection volunteers will be standing ready to ensure every vote is cast. Thanks to supporters like you, this is an unprecedented get-out-the-vote effort on the ground and online. We're getting ready.

2. While Ohioans celebrate their 100th office opening, local offices are sprouting up in battleground states across the country.

This is incredible: Passionate folks ready to drive this thing home for President Obama gathered to celebrate our 100th field office in the state of Ohio:

[url]

To put this in perspective -- there are 18 congressional districts in Ohio, and that means we're building a grassroots network in every single one of them. This is how you build an effective ground game -- and ours is unmatched. Check out our field blog for some great photos and stories; I think you'll find them as inspiring as I do.

3. The Truth Team stands ready at a moment's notice, and responds to Romney's "47 percent" video.

Mitt Romney, in a leaked video from a closed-door fundraiser, dismissed half of the American people as "dependent upon government" who believe "government has a responsibility to care for them." Our Truth Team-made site showed voters how Romney views 47 percent of America, and our video team captured some reactions to Romney's words. Definitely worth watching:

4. Not just for some of us, "For all" -- thousands are showing their support on the Obama for America photo blog.

Unlike our opponent, we have a candidate who's working for all Americans. We launched a For All photo project on Instagram to allow voters, particularly young voters, to creatively express which issues they care about the most. Whether it's education, equal rights, or affordable health care -- you can get out your black marker, write the issue on your hand, and share it online with the tag #ForAll. This project has inspired new supporters to get involved and get registered to vote. There are already thousands of submissions, so check out these great photos from supporters and a few celebrities and then add your own:

5. The Repeal of DADT: One year later.

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" DADT is history, gone. On Thursday, one year after the repeal of DADT, the President said: "Gay and lesbian Americans now no longer need to hide who they love in order to serve the country they love. It is a testament to the professionalism of our men and women in uniform that this change was implemented in an orderly manner, preserving unit cohesion, recruitment, retention and military effectiveness." Check out these great, supportive e-cards that supporters have been sending to a servicemember or veteran that they care about:

[url]

This was a proud, defining moment for the LGBT community -- and that is worth celebrating and getting the message out.

6. Watch parties in every neighborhood: Folks are gearing up for the first debate.

These are a blast. When Barack Obama and Joe Biden proudly accepted our party's nomination, people gathered at over 5,000 watch parties across the country in solidarity for the President. Now, as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney prepare to go head to head for the first time, folks are already planning their watch parties for the October 3rd presidential debate. Not only is this a fun way to watch, but local events like these can really spark folks into action:

[url]

It's an easy, low-barrier way to get involved. And I know I won't be watching alone!

7. Early voting in Iowa starts in 4 days.

Here's the reality, right here: Pay no attention to the countdown clocks to November 6th -- this election has started in early voting and absentee states across the country. And in Iowa, it begins Thursday. That's the way we need to look at this. Election Day isn't some far-off goal, it's now. That's why we're busy getting the word out -- online and out in the field -- so that people in early vote states know exactly when and where they can cast their ballots ahead of Election Day.

Thanks so much for your continued support and commitment to this campaign. I'm inspired by the great work of this team as we mobilize across the country in support of Barack Obama. Yes, this was quite a week -- but this election is far from over.

This race will stay close until the very end, and we have to stay focused.

I'll be in touch,

Jen

A little bittersweet



My favorite campaign tradition started five years ago -- check out the email below.

It's just incredible how much we've grown -- from 100,000 individual donors at that time to more than 3 million in this campaign alone -- and how much we've accomplished together.

Tomorrow night, we're selecting the guests for the last dinner of my last campaign. I'm looking forward to closing out this tradition the way it started: with supporters like you.

Will you be there?

Barack

------------Original Message--------------- From: Barack Obama Date: Wednesday, June 6th, 2007 at 6:23 p.m. Subject: Re: Dinner with Barack?

When we launched this campaign, we decided not to take the easy money offered by Washington lobbyists and special interest political action committees.

Instead, we put our faith in you, and we couldn't have made a better choice.

I'll be meeting four of you for dinner sometime soon, but what's happening across this country is bigger than me, or my candidacy.

Together we're re-shaping the political process based on the idea that a movement of people who care about the common future of all Americans can be more powerful than any special interest.

I hope you'll take a minute to make a donation, and perhaps we'll be seeing each other soon.

I can barely believe it: The first voter registration deadlines of this election are less than two weeks away.

If we want to make sure as many people as possible are registered and fired up to support President Obama and other Democrats, this weekend is huge.

That's why folks from Massachusetts are pitching in alongside organizers in New Hampshire this weekend. Some people are hopping in cars to go door to door to register voters and talk about the choice in this election. Others are going to make some calls from their hometowns into New Hampshire.

No matter where you live or where you're pitching in, this race is getting down to the wire, fast -- so we have to get to work now.

Teetering

Remember Mitt Romney's solution to an auto industry teetering on the brink? "Let Detroit go bankrupt." Deadline: 6 days. Contribute

Remember Mitt Romney's solution to an auto industry teetering on the brink? “Let Detroit go bankrupt.”

I watched as he kicked autoworkers when they were down. You watched as he told us his “job isn't to worry about” 47% of Americans.

But we can't just watch any longer— with just 42 days left, polls are within the margin of error. If you want to elect President Obama and a Democratic I need your support immediately.

In six days, we face the final and most critical FEC deadline of this election. Can you donate $X right away?

Falling short of this goal means we may not be able to stop Mitt Romney and the Republicans from executing a government takeover.

We know we can protect President Obama and a Democratic Senate majority with grassroots contributions — but only if enough folks step up right now.

Can I count your $X contribution towards this goal?

FW: Nail, meet coffin

With Todd “legitimate rape” Akin closing in on the Missouri race, the Republicans could take over the Senate by one seat . Imagine Akin casting the deciding vote to repeal Obamacare, block access to contraception, and deny every one of President Obama's Supreme Court nominees.

You only have 6 days until the final, most critical FEC deadline of this election. Can you give $X immediately? Otherwise, the Republicans could take over the Senate.

Anna Chu DSCC, Policy Director

----------Original Message from James Carville---------- Deadline: 6 days. Contribute

Think Mitt's buried up to his neck in sand after all his blunders?

News flash people: he's only down by three points. And I don't want to make your ears bleed— but George W. Bush was down by three at this point in 2000.

So we can either do nothing today, and let these wing-nut Republicans take this election from us. Or, you can make a contribution right now and we can finish the job.

The FEC deadline is just 8 days away. Contribute $X to prevent Mitt Romney and the Republicans from taking over the White House and Senate.

Do you want to see President Obama lose on Election Night because we thought we had it in the bag with 44 days to go? Me neither.

Let's bury Romney's campaign today. Say it to yourself: “Nail, meet coffin.” And put his campaign to rest.

FW: your supporter record

Hey – NOTICE: Starting today, a group of Democratic Senators will match your gift 3-to-1. If we don't hit our fundraising goal before the final FEC quarterly deadline in just six days, Republicans could take over the Senate by a single seat.

Fight for that seat right now, and your gift will be triple matched. Click here immediately to give $X and renew your support.

Jason Rosenbaum Online Communications Director

-------------------Begin Original Message-------------------

We're nearing the final end-of-quarter FEC deadline of this election and our team is reviewing supporter records. I noticed that you haven't made an online contribution since the 2010 election. You clearly saw what was at stake then, and made a commitment to protect President Obama and give him a Democratic Senate I pasted your supporter record below . But this is the final stretch of this election and the risk is even greater.

Name: record: Last online contribution: $X October 31, 2010 2012 online support: pending Suggested support: $X

If the election were held today, Republicans would likely win the Senate by a single seat.

On October 1, the question will be: Do Democrats have enough money to protect progressives like Elizabeth Warren and defeat extremists like Todd Akin?

If we don't raise $X.5 million in the next 7 days, the answer will be no. Todd Akin and the Republicans will capture the Senate and destroy everything President Obama has accomplished.

But if every supporter from the last election will join the 2012 campaign, we can get there. If not, we'll lose the Senate at the last second.

This is critical—we have just seven days left. Please click here and kick in $X immediately:

Romney-Ryan Friend,

Chatting with supporters like you over a good meal is one of my favorite parts of being on the campaign trail.

But with the warp speed we're at in the homestretch of this race it doesn't happen as often as I'd like.

That's why I hope you'll enter this contest for a chance to grab a bite with me.

BRE[name]KING:

BREAKING: Boehner and the Republicans just launched a 26 district ad blitz against Democratic candidates in an effort to save their teetering House majority

Our candidates are being outspent in too many too-close-to-call districts.

If we want to replace the Tea Party majority with a Democratic House for President Obama's second term, we have to respond to these ads immediately.

Donate $X or more to fight these Republican attacks and elect a Democratic majority for President Obama

A new POLITICO Battleground poll shows us up by one point in the race for Congress -- 46% to 45% -- but that lead won't hold unless we can fight this wave of Republican attacks.

When the polls close on November 6th, I don't want to have that sinking feeling that we didn't do everything we could when it mattered most.

Please chip in what you can to help us fight back: [url]

No regrets,

Kelly
