Friend --

Mitt Romney and the Republican Party are betting that spending lots of money on negative ads will hide the fact that their policy proposals are unpopular and ineffective.

President Obama firmly believes that when ordinary people come together and get involved, they represent a force more powerful than money. But the power of our voice depends on people like you registering to vote so that you can be heard in this election.

To prove the President right and help win this thing, make sure you're registered to vote today.

If you need to register, we've got a site that makes it fast and easy. It takes only a couple of minutes to download the form and mail it in. In no time, you'll get confirmation from your county board of elections that you're registered and ready to go.

Click now and get it done!

The choice in this election couldn't be more clear. Mitt Romney and the Republican Party want to give more tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires at the expense of working class families. President Obama has worked to make sure that everyone who works hard has a fair shot.

But if you don't do your part and register to vote, we run the risk of going back to the same failed policies that hurt the middle class.

Make sure you're registered to vote now:
