Friends,

Ballots begin arriving in Oregon this Friday, October 17th. The best way to help Barack in this historic election is by mailing in your ballot as soon as you receive it -- and by encouraging others to do the same.

It only takes a few minutes. And when you vote within 24 hours of receiving your ballot, you allow volunteers and organizers to better focus their resources and spend more time helping thousands of other Oregonians get their votes in for Barack and Democrats up and down the ballot.

Visit VoteForChange.com right now to find the nearest ballot drop location near you, or mail your ballot in to your county elections office.

Vote early, remind everyone you know to do so as well, and help supporters and organizers do everything they can to get a big win for Barack Obama in Oregon.
Thanks,

Jesse

P.S. -- Once you've voted, sign up for a Get Out The Vote shift in this final stretch to make sure all Oregonians get their ballots in and make their voices heard in this election:

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

If they're not registered by today, they can't vote in this historic election.

But they have to visit their county elections office in person to fill out a registration form, because forms mailed today will likely not arrive at county election office before the registration deadline.

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

If you haven't yet registered, take the time to visit your county elections office to fill out a registration form before the Oregon deadline.

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 today.
