A few days before his Inauguration, President Obama announced the formation of a new organization that will build on your movement for change: Organizing for America.



Organizing for America will continue the work of the largest grassroots movement in history, one driven by volunteers, grassroots leaders, and ordinary citizens.

What you built can't stop now. Organizing for America will continue to bringing new people and ideas into the political process.

The challenges facing our country are too great, and our journey to change America is just beginning.

Before his Election Night speech last night, Barack sent out this message to suppporters:

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don't want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign. We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack

In South Carolina, polls are open today from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM. Anyone who is in line by 7:00 PM will be allowed to vote. You can find your polling location now.

For additional information or for any issues you may have with voting visit our Voter Information Center or call 1-877-US-4-OBAMA (877-874-6226). Answers to some of the most common voting questions are below:

 

Do I need to bring ID with me when I go vote?

Voters must show one of the following forms of ID at the polls: Voter registration card, Driver's License, or Picture ID card issued by Department of Motor Vehicles.

If you registered to vote by mail after January 1, 2004, you are required to submit a form of identification with your voter registration application, including a copy of a valid photo ID or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck or other government document that shows your name and address in your county.

If you did not submit a form of ID with your mail-in voter registration application, you will be required to show ID and your voter registration card at the polls. This ID could include one of the following:

  • Your driver's license
  • A picture ID card issued by the department of motor vehicles

What time will the polls be open on November 4?

Polls in South Carolina will be open from 7:00 am – 7:00 pm.

What about voters with disabilities?

Assistance in marking a ballot is allowed only if the voter is blind, illiterate or physically handicapped. A voter entitled to receive assistance may choose anyone to assist except his employer, and agent of his employer, or an officer or agent of his union. Any voter who, because of physical handicap or age (65 or older), cannot enter the polling place in which he is registered to vote, or is unable to stand in line to vote, may vote outside that polling place in the closest available parking area utilizing the vehicle in which he has driven or has been driven to the polls.

We have 5 days left to make sure as many people as possible cast their votes for change.

But you'd be surprised how many of your friends and family don't know where to vote in your state, a crucial battleground state.

Take a minute to look up your polling place on our voting website, VoteForChange.com, then forward this email to your friends, family, and neighbors so they can look up theirs, too.

On VoteForChange.com you can find out where to vote and get crucial voting information.

This race is too close for you -- or anyone you know -- not to vote.

And the issues we're facing are too important to keep anyone's voice out of the political process just because they didn't know where to vote.

Can you forward this email to at least five friends, family members, or coworkers and tell them to look up their polling location?

Supporters like you can transform this nation, and I'm counting on your help to make sure every Obama supporter in your state knows where they can cast their vote for change on Election Day.

Thank you for your help,

Jon

Barack just sent out the following email:

You may already be registered to vote, but you probably know several people who are not.

If their registration form isn't postmarked by today, they can't vote in this historic election.

Today is also the last day to register in-person.

http://www.voteforchange.com

This election is going to hinge on unprecedented voter turnout -- especially in South Carolina.

Make sure you're registered.

Then encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to do the same.

Together, we can make history and bring about the change we need.

Thanks,

Barack

P.S. -- Please forward this email to your friends, family, and neighbors and make sure they register before the end of the day.

Barack is reminding South Carolina supporters to make sure they're registered to vote before the October 4th deadline.

The last day to register to vote in South Carolina is Saturday, October 4th.

Are you registered? Are your friends and family?

If you only forward one email to your friends, family, and neighbors today -- make it this one.

Each and every vote in South Carolina is absolutely crucial to victory on Election Day.

Visit VoteForChange.com, our one-stop voter registration website, and register before the South Carolina deadline.

Supporters like you have built the biggest grassroots movement in the history of American politics.

But in just one day, the time for bringing new voices into the political process will be over.

You need to be certain that you, your friends, and your family are registered by the deadline -- it's a small step that will have a huge impact on our Election Day results.

This election is too important to leave anything to chance. Make sure your voice is heard -- and forward this email to all the South Carolinians you know.

Thanks,

Barack

If you have friends or family who support Barack but might not be registered, you can use our online email importer to send them a message about VoteForChange.com. Don't worry -- we won't hold on to any of the email addresses you share. It only takes a minute, and for your friends and family it could mean the difference between participating and sitting on the sidelines come November.

Right now you have a unique opportunity to make a big difference in this election.

With a tight race next door in a key battleground state and only a few weeks until Election Day, local volunteers are working day and night to reach out to voters and help build the change America needs.

But they can't do it alone.

Every weekend from now until Election Day, supporters like you are coming together to join their neighbors and make a difference for Barack. It's a great opportunity to turn your enthusiasm into action and help win this election.

You've done a great job in your home state, and now the campaign needs the help of Obama supporters to carry Barack's message of change to neighboring states.

Will you take a short trip to make a big difference this weekend?

More bad news about the economy comes out every day.

We can continue the same failed Bush-McCain policies of the last eight years, or we can bring the change we need by electing Barack Obama.

It's up to us as members of this nationwide grassroots movement for change to make sure voters hear Barack's message. Face-to-face contact is the most effective way to connect with voters, and your voice could be the one that helps make the difference.

No experience is required. Campaign staff will provide you with everything you need to succeed.

Sign up now and come together with fellow supporters to make a difference:

We can't do this without you.

Barack recently sent out the following email...

You'd be surprised by how many people you know who aren't registered to vote.

Registration deadlines are coming up soon, and we need every single vote we can get to win this election.

Tell your friends, family, and neighbors to check out our new one-stop voter registration website.

Just forward this message.

VoteforChange.com makes it easier than ever to register. Instead of tracking down the right forms, all you need to do is answer a few basic questions and you'll be ready to vote. You can also:

-- Confirm your existing registration

-- Apply to vote absentee

-- Find your polling place

If you don't know your own registration status or you'd like to learn more, take a minute to visit the site right now.

This race is too close and too important to stay home on Election Day.

If you take the time to register and vote -- and make sure everyone you know is registered as well -- we'll be able to turn the tide of the past eight years.

It's people just like you who will transform this nation.

Thanks,

Barack

At the Republican convention, John McCain and his surrogates attacked Barack Obama and mocked the power of community organizing.

They sneered at the idea that people like you can play a crucial role in turning this country around.

The Republicans just don't get it. Our movement was built by ordinary people working together in their communities — and that's how we're going to win on Election Day.

We have a new tool called Neighbor to Neighbor that makes it easier than ever to connect with potential supporters in your community. It allows you to reach out to your fellow voters by making phone calls or knocking on doors — the choice is yours.

Learn more and start making a difference in your neighborhood right now.

Barack is making history by competing in every corner of the country.

It's an aggressive strategy, and only you can make it work.

No one knows your community better than you — and no one is better suited to strengthen our movement from the bottom up.

Neighbor to Neighbor gives you a list of potential supporters in your community, suggested topics to talk about, and an easy way to report back on who you've contacted.

With less than nine weeks till Election Day, we need to act now.
Reach out in your community and build this movement for change:

You've owned this campaign from the very start. By making a few phone calls or knocking on a few doors today, you'll own it more than ever before.

Thanks,

Jon
