Obama - Biden

Because you joined up with this campaign, I bet you're someone who cares a lot about whether we can keep our country moving forward, and keep President Obama in the White House for four more years.

So you should know: Time is running out to get registered to vote.

You've probably registered. But how about the people in your life?

Use our handy app to reach out to your friends and family -- especially those who live in battleground states -- and ask them to check their registration.

Every vote matters, and it's up to folks like you who care about this election to turn them out -- so let's get it done.

Remind your friends and family to register to vote now:

Every minute we spend from here on out is critical to the outcome of this election.

On Thursday, we're hosting an important training session online for call team members to prepare us for the next three weeks. Whether you're new to the game, or a seasoned call tool veteran -- there's always something to learn here, and there's no time to waste.

RSVP here and we'll send you a link to Thursday's training.

Here are the details:

What: Join the New York Call Team training

When: Thursday, October 18th, 2012 Training starts at 6:30 p.m.

We'll spend 15-30 minutes learning how to use the campaign's online call tool, and then we'll start making calls to voters in Ohio -- one of the most important battleground states in this election. You're bound to pick up some valuable skills and engage with some passionate, like-minded people.

This is one of your last chances to help President Obama and other Democrats win on November 6th.
