Barack and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary today -- and we'll be spending it in a way I never could have imagined when we first got married.

That's because tonight, I get to watch my husband on stage, on national television, standing up for everything we believe in.

Barack's in the fight of his life right now, and he needs to know that we have his back.

He's stayed true to those values and convictions as president.

Please help me show Barack how many people are standing with him by making a grassroots donation to support this campaign with just 34 days to go:

Before I go on stage for the first debate, I just want to say:

Thank you. I wouldn't be here without you.

Now let's bring this thing home:

Tonight's debate will be an important moment in this election. The pundits will have a lot to say about it, but they don't have the final word -- you do.

So if you think President Obama does a good job tonight, say so. Post about it on Facebook, tweet about it, email your friends, and write about it on your Tumblr if you're into that sort of thing . We'll have stuff on barackobama.com/debate before, during, and after the debate that will help you talk about the President's accomplishments and respond to Mitt Romney's attacks, so get online early for coverage of the whole debate. Stick around afterwards, too -- Vice President Biden will be doing an exclusive post-debate livestream with supporters on the site.

I also recorded a short video to talk about some of the issues that will come up tonight, so check it out, and share it with others before tonight's debate:

The three most important issues I expect to come up during this debate are jobs, taxes, and the deficit. Here's a quick cheat sheet about the facts on each:

Jobs If I were a betting woman, I could wager you $X that Romney will claim that he has a plan to create 12 million jobs over the next four years. If he does, it might sound like a bold promise, but it isn't -- independent economists project that we're going to create that many jobs anyway on the path that we're on. Those same economists have also studied Romney's proposed policies, and they agree that they would actually slow our recovery, and cost more than a million American jobs.

Taxes Romney has a $X trillion tax plan that would give millionaires and billionaires huge tax cuts. But independent experts say the only way to pay for that sort of plan is to raise taxes on the middle class, increasing taxes for families with children by an average of $X. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan deny this, but when Ryan was asked this weekend to explain how it would work, he said he didn't have time to explain the math. We'll see if Mitt Romney finds some time in tonight's 90-minute debate to tell us specifically how he can avoid raising taxes on middle-class families and still pay for another $X tax cut for multimillionaires.

The deficit Tonight, Mitt Romney will tell you that he's going to cut the deficit. But he won't tell you how he'll manage to do that while keeping his promises to not to raise a penny in new revenue. Without raising revenue, Romney wants to pass a $X trillion tax cut favoring millionaires and billionaires and add $X trillion in new defense spending that military leaders didn't ask for. How does all that add up to cutting the deficit? It doesn't -- like President Clinton said, it's just simple arithmetic.

Getting the facts out is more important than ever tonight -- make sure you have President Obama's back, and please, spread the word:

Today isn't just the day of the first presidential debate, it's also the President and First Lady's 20th wedding anniversary.

So first, take a rare look at their relationship. This video includes never-before-seen footage, so you'll want to watch it and pass it along:

Then, once the debate starts, you should head over to barackobama.com/debate to get real-time facts and information. Stick around afterwards, too -- Vice President Biden will be doing an exclusive post-debate livestream for supporters like you.

In anticipation of what we'll see tonight, I recorded a short video to give you some of the facts you need -- so that you can set the record straight every time Mitt Romney lies or takes a cheap shot. Check it out, and share it with others before tonight's debate.

P.S. -- Join the Truth Team, a grassroots community of supporters dedicated to keeping the other side honest and making sure people know the facts about the clear choice in this election. As the debates begin, it's more important than ever for voters to know the truth about where President Obama and Mitt Romney stand.

In just a little while, I'll go on stage to meet Mitt Romney in the first presidential debate here in Denver.

I couldn't be prouder to represent you out it's because of you that affordable health care is within reach for millions more Americans. It's because of you that we've seen 30 straight months of job growth and middle-class families have seen their taxes cut.

Together, we've done a lot but there is so much more to do to keep this country moving forward. That only happens if we win this election.

Before tonight's debate, will you chip in $X or more to help finish this campaign strong?

This election is a choice between two very different visions for our nation's future, and that choice will be on full display at the debate tonight.

President Obama's imaginary recovery has taken a very real toll on America's middle class. Yet, he's offering no new solutions to turn around the stagnant unemployment and record poverty of the last four years -- just more of the same old irresponsible spending and failed policies that got us here.

Mitt Romney and I, on the other hand, have a real recovery plan for a stronger middle class that will create 12 million new jobs by the end of our first term -- and lead us out of this economic crisis.

Barack Obama doesn't have a record to run on, or a plan for the future.

We do -- and that's why we want this debate.

Americans deserve a clear choice about what kind of future we're going to have, and Governor Romney provided that contrast tonight.

Mitt won this debate by effectively articulating his positive vision for a better America and the specific solutions needed to achieve it. The President, meanwhile, offered only more of the same failed ideas that have left those in the middle class - as Joe Biden put it - "buried."

As we continue to sharpen the focus on the big choice in this election, Americans will see that we cannot afford four more years like the last. We need a real recovery, and Mitt Romney can get the job done.

On taxes. On Medicare. On Wall Street reform. On Obamacare.

Mitt Romney just went on that debate stage and lied to the American people.

We've got one month until the election. If we don't have the resources to win, America will get Mitt Romney and a Republican Congress.

Will you donate $X or more right now to call out Republican lies?

It's moments like this that will decide this election. Let's go win this thing.
