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.

Gotcha



Did you see the debate Wednesday night?

If you did, you saw more gotcha politics and distractions than questions about the pressing issues affecting our country.

In fact, it took more than 45 minutes before Barack was asked about the economy, health care, or foreign policy.

Regrettably, Senator Clinton seemed all too comfortable with that type of debate. She's running a 100% negative campaign in Pennsylvania, taking every opportunity to make personal and discredited attacks against Senator Obama.

You can send a message that politics doesn't have to be played this way.

Make your first donation today, and someone who's already given will match whatever amount you decide to give. You can double your impact, and you'll even get to see the name and town of the fellow supporter matching your first online gift.

Will you make a $25 donation now?

https://donate.barackobama.com/match

Senator Clinton's false, negative attacks are exactly the kind of say-anything, do-anything politics that the American people are tired of.

That's why polls show that the majority of Americans think she's running the most negative campaign, and 58% of voters do not find her honest or trustworthy.

Barack Obama wants to end the politics of division and distraction in Washington so we can bring about real change for ordinary Americans.

The stakes are too high to play the same old games. More than 1.3 million supporters have responded to Barack's message of change, and with your help we can reach 1.5 million by May 6th.

Make a donation of any amount today, and it will be matched by a previous donor who has pledged to double your impact:

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

What will happen today

Dear Friend,

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 Texas.

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

You have two opportunities to send the message that you're ready for a new kind of leadership and a new kind of politics.

First, vote in the primary -- polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Next, help win even more delegates by caucusing for Barack at 7:00 p.m. And make sure your friends and family both vote and caucus as well.

Use our online tool to find your polling location:

We've come a long way since last February. And today, the goal of real change is within reach.

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.

Take a moment and watch this video of the grassroots movement that's been building across Texas. Share it with your friends and family and encourage them to join you in voting and caucusing for change:

Thanks for everything you've done,

Michelle

One Last Thing...

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

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

Our team put together a special video of our grassroots movement in Texas -- check it out, and share it with anyone who might still be undecided:

It's been inspiring to see the turnout at our events, and it strengthens my faith that the American people -- not just here in Texas, 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 be sure to vote tomorrow and then caucus at 7:00 p.m.:

http://tx.barackobama.com/LookupTX

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 Texas. You have shaken the political status quo and built a grassroots movement that is sweeping this country.

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

Let's bring real change tomorrow,

Barack
