Katrina --

Over the next two months, Organizing for America
volunteers like you will talk to millions of voters about what's at
stake this fall.

Our Vote 2010 goals are ambitious -- but meeting them is the only way
President Obama will be able to continue moving our country forward
with strong allies in Congress.

We know these one-on-one conversations are incredibly effective.
In 2008, volunteers like you turned out millions of voters -- many for
the first time. And in our increasingly fractured digital environment
-- when so much competes for our time and attention -- conversations
between friends, family members, and neighbors remain the most trusted
and impactful method of political persuasion.

I have a tremendous amount of confidence in this strategy -- and you --
because I saw how it changed politics in 2008. You connected personally
with more voters than any campaign in history -- and we won.

This year, the strategy is the same.

That's why we've put together resources to guide you in your
conversations with voters this fall. It's time to get back out there
and deliver our message again.

Check out these resources and gear up for election season.

Now and over the next 51 days, President Obama is forcefully taking on
the Republicans and making this case to voters in cities across the
country.

But he can't deliver this message alone.

Republicans are desperately trying to take over Congress by threatening
to repeal the historic changes we've achieved together. That's it. Even
if they weren't funded largely by special interests, theirs would be one of the most cynical campaigns I've seen in my decades of working in politics.

We know what Republicans will do if they win back control. Their ideas
-- out of touch and favoring special interests -- reveal not only an
astonishing lack of understanding of the challenges facing middle-class
families, but a party that can define itself only in its united
opposition to progress. Returning to Bush administration policies that
drove our economy into a recession is not leadership -- it's negligence.

Over the last year and a half, President Obama and Democrats in
Congress have stabilized our financial system, ended insurance company
abuses, invested in private sector jobs, cut taxes for middle-class
families, and established the strongest consumer financial protections
in history.

Republicans stood on the sidelines and said "no."

A party that refuses to participate in tackling the enormous challenges facing our country does not deserve to lead.

You know this. I know this. Now let's get out there and tell our communities.

Please print out these resources for your reference this fall:

P.S. -- Exciting news: This month and next, we're holding five major
Moving America Forward Organizing Rallies with President Obama in
Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Nevada, and a special Commit to Vote
Tele-Town Hall. Click here for more details.
