Barack Obama in Penn State University

I have some important news, and I'm pleased to share it with you first.

I've chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate.

Joe and I will appear for the first time as running mates this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois -- the same place this campaign began more than 19 months ago.

I'm excited about hitting the campaign trail with Joe, but the two of us can't do this alone. We need your help to keep building this movement for change.

Be the first to know..

BarackObama.com/VP or Text VP to 62262

You will receive an email the moment Barack makes his decision, or you can text VP to 62262 to receive a text message on your mobile phone.

Once you've signed up, please forward this email to your friends, family, and coworkers to let them know about this special opportunity.

No other campaign has done this before. You can be part of this important moment.

Be the first to know who Barack selects as his running mate.

Thanks,

David

Tomorrow is the official kickoff of Vote for Change, an unprecedented 50-state voter registration and mobilization drive. In over 100 cities across America, from Anchorage, Alaska to Miami, Florida, grassroots supporters will hit the streets to register voters. With events planned in every single state, no matter where you live, you can find an event near you.

As Democratic Governor Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas explained,"This could change the face of American politics for decades to come."

Our efforts across the country have already yielded incredible results. According to a recent Associated Press survey, over 3.5 million people registered to vote in the first three months of 2008. Now we're expanding our approach to every single state, as part of a sustained, six-month effort that could reshape the electoral map.  

Most events will begin in the late morning or early afternoon, and will run approximately four hours. No prior experience is necessary, and materials and training will be provided at each location.

There is no better way to start your weekend tomorrow, and no more important work to be done right now than bringing more voters, and more voices, into the political process.

Find an event near you.

Michelle Obama: 'What will happen today"

This campaign has always been about more than just an election.

When Barack and I first talked about doing this, we agreed that there was a unique opportunity for change in this country -- a real chance to move beyond the divisive politics of the past and bring people together around our shared hopes for a better future for all Americans.

Today, America is watching Pennsylvania.

All across the country, people are following the results of today's primary and waiting to see if Pennsylvania is ready for real change.

Send a message that you're ready for a new kind of leadership and a new kind of politics. Vote for change today, and make sure your friends and family get out and vote as well.

The polls are open from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Use our online tool to find your polling location:

But there's still a lot of work to do -- and today, we need you to go to the polls and make your voice heard.

Message from Barack: One Last Thing

I wanted to get in touch with you one last time before tomorrow's primary.

We've had a long journey together in Pennsylvania. For more than a year, you have been dedicated to the idea that when ordinary people come together, we can do extraordinary things.

It's been inspiring to see our movement grow in the Keystone State, and it strengthens my faith that the American people -- not just here in Pennsylvania, but across the country -- are ready to stop settling for what the cynics tell us we must accept and start reaching for what's possible.

Tomorrow's our chance to make history.

But the election is going to be close, and it's vitally important that you vote and bring your family and friends to vote with you.

Find your polling location and vote tomorrow:

When Michelle and I talked about my running for president, one of the core goals we both had for this campaign was to leave the political process better off than we found it.

That's just what you've done in Pennsylvania. You have shaken the political status quo and built a grassroots movement that is sweeping this country.

If you get out and vote tomorrow -- and bring others to vote too -- our movement will continue to grow. The world will know that Pennsylvania stood up for a different kind of politics. And real change will be within reach.

Let's bring real change tomorrow.

Friend --

Too many political fundraisers are hosted by Washington lobbyists and filled with representatives of special interests.

Our campaign is different.

Our funding comes from a movement of more than one million people giving whatever they can afford -- and Barack wants to sit down with supporters like you.

If you've ever thought about making a donation to join our campaign, now is the time.

In the next week, four supporters will be selected for a different kind of fundraising dinner. And we're reserving two of those seats for new donors like you.

Make a donation in any amount between now and 11:59 pm EDT on Monday, March 31st, and you could join Barack and three other supporters for an intimate dinner for five:

https://donate.barackobama.com/dinner

Our movement is changing the way campaigns are funded.

This campaign has never taken contributions from Washington lobbyists or political action committees.

More than one million donors have demonstrated that this election is about more than a candidate -- it's about each of us having a personal stake in the future of American politics.

This dinner is an opportunity for you to sit down with Barack and your fellow supporters and talk about the issues that matter to you.

Get the kind of treatment other politicians reserve for special interests. Make a donation in the next week, and you could share your story and your ideas with Barack in person:

https://donate.barackobama.com/dinner

With every donation, we're building a movement to change American politics.

Help the movement grow, and own a piece of this campaign today.

Thanks for your support,

David
