How Illinois can make a difference
Last week, Barack accepted the Democratic nomination with the support of over 80,000 people in Denver and millions more watching at home. It was a historic moment -- the culmination of 19 months of hard work by supporters like you.
Here in Barack's home state, we have a unique opportunity to make a big impact once again and spread Barack's message of change in the general election.
With just 62 days left before Election Day, November 4th, we can't afford to sit on the sidelines. Too many people are counting on us. We are literally surrounded by crucial battlegrounds -- Iowa, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Missouri.
That's why we're introducing a new program to mobilize Barack's most dedicated supporters. We'll be organizing trips for Illinois supporters to each of our neighboring battleground states, every weekend from now through Election Day.
This is a great way to meet fellow supporters, grow this movement, and bring new voices into the political process.
