| Katrina -- The Summer Organizer Program is where the future of this movement is built. Every year, hundreds of organizers learn the ropes and lay the groundwork that wins elections and creates change. We asked for applications on Tuesday, and in just three days, we've already received more than ever before. This enthusiasm gets me fired up, and it bodes well for all the work ahead of us -- but only if we can capitalize on it. So we want to expand our summer budget -- and put more organizers in more communities. To do so, we're counting on 2 donations from Merrillville before Sunday at midnight to help us go bigger. Please donate $3 or more today to support Organizing for America and help us expand this year's Summer Organizer Program. Our summer organizers are volunteers, but this program's budget makes sure they don't have to worry about housing or having the resources they need while they're working their tails off. And it's worth it -- the investments we make in these organizers today pay off ten-fold down the road. I've seen what these summer organizers go on to do. Some get hired to be full-time organizers for OFA. Others go on to lead organizations, putting the principles they learned to work in their hometowns. Some even run for office themselves. They are the next generation of progressive leaders in this country -- and, for many, this is where their careers will begin. This year, we want to expand our program. And that doesn't just mean more organizing will be done this summer. It means there will be more people out there for years to come, ready to put their skills to use to support the President and his agenda and to make change a reality in their areas. You don't have to look far today to see how important it is to have trained organizers ready to spring into action on the local level. That's why OFA doesn't just strive to develop good organizers -- we train the best. Because we know what's possible when we invest in people, and when we invest in one another. Be one of 2 folks to chip in from Merrillville before midnight Sunday and help expand the Summer Organizers Program. Please donate $3 or more today: https://donate.barackobama. Thanks for believing in organizing, Mitch Mitch Stewart Director Organizing for America |

Katrina --
The state legislature may vote as soon as today on a harmful plan to undermine Indiana's public employees' right to organize.
Gov. Mitch Daniels and his allies are trying to ram through this attack on working people -- from folks who staff our hospitals to those who plow our streets -- stripping away their ability to form effective unions.
This will make it harder for them to fight for the better working conditions their families need and deserve, and could open the door to harsher restrictions for all Indiana workers.
The bill is coming up for a vote just days after it was introduced, leaving almost no time for real public debate. But our allies are fighting back -- and they need our voices to back them up.
Our lawmakers are looking to their constituents as they decide how to vote -- and your call could make the difference right now.
Call the State House switchboard at (800) 382-9842 and follow the instructions to reach your state lawmakers directly, or click here to look up your state legislator.
Indiana's workers represent the best our state has to offer.
They're not numbers or statistics.
They are mothers and fathers. They are our friends and our neighbors. They care for the patients in our hospitals and rehabilitate those in our correctional facilities. They protect and patrol our state parks. They provide the vital services that keep our communities running.
They deserve a seat at the bargaining table -- but that's not what Gov. Daniels and his allies in the legislature have in mind.
With their attacks on union membership, they're trying to bypass dialogue and rush through a bill to strip away workers' rights -- but we'll make our voices impossible to ignore. Together, we can let our lawmakers know that we won't stand for a plan that could lower wages, reduce benefits, and snatch away the fundamental organizing rights of thousands.
Call your lawmakers today at (800) 382-9842 and ask them to vote to preserve the rights of Indiana's public workers -- or click here to look up your state legislator:

Katrina --
This week, the President sent his budget to Congress.
It's a plan to rebuild our economy and win the future -- a plan that will prepare our country and our children for the jobs and industries of tomorrow.
It's a proposal to live within our means so we can invest in our future.
But the budget can be complex, confusing, and easy to distort in a partisan environment. President Obama will rely on our help -- the on-the-ground organizing we know works -- to make the case alongside him.
That's why we want your input.
Take a minute to learn about the President's top budget priorities, and then let us know which is the most important to you.
Your feedback will help guide the work we do and the strategies we employ in the coming months, as the fights in Washington over the budget come to a head.
The President's vision is ambitious yet responsible. While making the tough decisions on some things we can't afford, the budget also makes targeted investments where we need them to create jobs and secure a brighter future for new generations.
It comes down to whether we're able to live up to the vision the President laid out in five pillars:
-- Innovate: Invest heavily in research and development, more than double funding for energy efficiency advances, and put 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2015.
-- Educate: Expand the Race to the Top program, encourage school funding reform by rewarding success and innovation, train 100,000 new math and science teachers, and make it more affordable for millions more students to pay for college.
-- Build: Create hundreds of thousands of jobs off the bat with investments in infrastructure, bring high-speed Internet access to 98 percent of Americans, and support the goal of supplying high-speed rail to 80 percent of Americans within 25 years.
-- Be fiscally responsible: Reduce the deficit by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years, bring non-security discretionary spending to the lowest levels since Eisenhower, and live up to the President's pledge to cut the deficit he inherited in half before the end of his first term.
-- Reform government: Embrace competitive grant models that encourage innovation and save taxpayer dollars, cut administrative overhead costs by billions, and establish a process to reorganize government to make it better serve the goal of a competitive America.
Whether we can out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world depends on the direction this country takes right now.
And each of us is a critical messenger for this administration.
When we talk to friends and family, when we knock on our neighbors' doors, and when we discuss the news with coworkers, we communicate so much more than any talking head or political ad ever could.
We'll be the ones making the case in our communities. So weigh in on what part of the President's vision you want to see take priority:
