Friend --

I have some important news that I want to make official.

I've chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate.

Joe and I will appear for the first time as running mates this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois -- the same place this campaign began more than 19 months ago.

I'm excited about hitting the campaign trail with Joe, but the two of us can't do this alone. We need your help to keep building this movement for change.

Please let Joe know that you're glad he's part of our team. Share your personal welcome note and we'll make sure he gets it:

Thanks for your support,

Barack

Friends --

My name is Temo Figueroa, and I'm the Latino Vote Director for the Obama campaign.

Hispanic voters are going to make history in this election.

I just recorded a short video about our plans to reach this important group, including an unprecedented initiative by the Democratic National Committee and the Obama campaign to bring as many Hispanic voters into the process as possible.

Watch this brief video about the Latino Vote and get involved today:

Hispanic voters have disproportionately felt the brunt of the failed Bush-McCain policies -- from a decline in median income for Hispanic households to a rise in unemployment. They are demanding change.

And they will play a crucial role in bringing the change we desperately need. Latinos comprise a large portion of the electorate in several key battleground states.

That's why this initiative -- which includes voter registration, Election Day turnout, trainings, online organizing, and Spanish-language advertising -- is so important.

And it would not be possible without the hard work and generosity of supporters like you.

Check out the video and share it with your friends and family.

Thank you so much for your continued support,

Temo
