What Barack needs from us

Posted October 31st, 2008 at 06:39am



It's hard to believe, but Election Day is just four days away.

And in the crucial battleground states surrounding Illinois, we need as much help as you can give for the final days before Election Day, November 4th.

People are hungry for change, and this campaign has brought thousands of individuals into the political process to make a break with the failed policies and politics of the past.

Here in Illinois, we've already given so much to this campaign. But it's going to take all of us working together to make this happen.

On Election Day, thousands of Barack's supporters in battleground states will need our help at the polls. In past elections, not everyone has gotten that help. But you can make sure that this time, everyone gets to make their voice heard.

Sign up now to join us to get out the vote for any of the last four days of this campaign:

No experience is required. Everyone can help in this final push.

P.S. If you can't make it out of Illinois, you can still make a difference for this campaign. Click here to find a phone bank near you.

Illinois For Obama,
Vote early in Illinois
Early voting is fast, easy, and it could make the difference in this election. Show your friends and family that you've made up your mind and you're ready for change now.

Take the first step today.

Request your Absentee Ballot, or find your early voting location.

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

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 today 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 Illinois 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 Illinois before Election Day.

Take a moment now to find out where your early vote location is in Illinois

Meet Barack



I was fortunate to be able to grow up seeing America from varied viewpoints. My childhood was spent in Hawaii and Indonesia. After college I worked as a community organizer on the South side of Chicago focusing on improving living conditions in poor neighborhoods.

I came to understand that to truly solve the problems facing our communities, it would take a change in our laws and our politics. I ran and served for seven years in the Illinois state Senate, where I fought for expanding children's health care, providing tax cuts for the working poor and enacting welfare reform. In 2004, I was elected to the U.S. Senate, where I have worked to pass laws securing dangerous weapons and making government more accountable. I have also opposed the Iraq war from the start, and believe that we need to bring our troops home so we can refocus on the wider struggle against terrorism.

Of all my life experiences, I am most proud of my wife Michelle and my daughters Malia and Sasha.
