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 Texas, polls are open today from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM local time. 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?

You are required to show your voter registration certificate in order to cast your vote. If you have lost or misplaced your certificate, you must show another form of identification. Acceptable forms of identification include:

  • A driver's license or personal identification card issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety
  • A similar document issued to you by an agency of another state, regardless of whether the license or card has expired
  • A form of identification containing a photograph that establishes the person's identity
  • A birth certificate
  • U.S. citizenship papers
  • U.S. passport
  • Official mail addressed to you from a government agency
  • A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows your name and address
  • Any other form of identification presented by the secretary of state's office

You may be required to show identification in addition to your voter registration certificate if you have not been issued a Texas driver's license or personal ID number or a social security number or the information provided on your registration could not be verified.

What time will the polls be open on November 4?

7:00 am–7:00 pm

What about voters with disabilities?

Voters with a physical disability that renders the voter unable to write or see, or unable to understand the language in which ballot is written, are entitled to assistance in voting under Texas election law. Such a voter may receive assistance from either (a) two election officers of different political parties unless this is impossible or (b) someone other than that voter's employer, employer's agent, or officer or agent of labor union.

In a case where the individual assisting the voter is a non-election officer, the provider of assistance must swear an oath.

In either case, the assistance provided to the voter may only consist of reading the ballot, directing the voter to read the ballot, marking the ballot, and/or directing voter to mark the ballot.

Texans are ready for change, and in these final days Barack needs you to help swing crucial battleground states. The public opinion polls don't matter anymore. This race will be won by whichever side gets more of its voters to the polls.

We need every Barack Obama supporter to spread the word, and to bring their cellphone and charger– and their friends – to one of the many large Last Call phone center locations throughout the State. We will be feeding these locations with up-to-the-minute lists of voters in key battleground states.

Find your nearest Election Day phone bank


Let's go change the world!

Early voting is simple, safe, and convenient. It's also a vital part of our strategy.

The best way you can bring about change right now is voting for Democrats up and down the ticket.

The more supporters who make their voices heard now, the more energy and resources we can devote to our get out the vote efforts closer to Election Day.

Vote early for Barack and other Democrats, and see if you can get five or more friends to vote early with you.

All across the country, supporters like you are working together to grow this movement for change. We know that Texas families can't afford four more years of failed Bush-McCain policies.

That's why we need you to help make sure we have an advantage in Texas before Election Day.

Take a moment now to fill out some basic information and make your voice heard:

Joe Biden just sent the following email:

I'll bet you know someone in Texas who isn't registered to vote.

And unless they register by tomorrow, they won't be able to participate in this historic election.

If you want four more years of the Bush-McCain policies that devastated our economy, ignore this message.

But if you're ready for change, forward this email to everyone you know.

Tell your friends, family, and neighbors to register to vote today. They can check their registration status at VoteForChange.com.

No one can afford to sit this one out.

Make your voice heard -- and make sure everyone you know can cast their vote for the change we need.

Thanks,

Joe

Barack recently sent out the following email:

The last day to register to vote in Texas is next Monday, October 6th.

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 Texas is absolutely crucial to victory on Election Day.

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

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

But in just 8 days, 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.

Thanks,

Barack

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
