First Lady Michelle Obama sent OFA supporters an message inviting them to join her in signing a card for President Obama's 49th birthday next week: Every year, our family tries to come up with a fun way to wish Barack a happy birthday. And this August 4th, when he turns 49, I have something new in mind. This has been a big and hectic year for him. After signing the Affordable Care Act and Wall Street reform into law and completing his first year as president I think it's safe to say we will remember it for a long time. And I know full well how much he credits this movement, and the work of supporters like you, for the change that we've accomplished. So I'm putting together a birthday card that I would like you to sign. Together with other Organizing for America supporters and me, Malia, Sasha, and Bo we'll wish him a happy birthday and let him know that we're ready to take on the year ahead alongside him. This year also brought a lot of surprises some good and some bad. Supporters like you have helped him make the best of it by contacting Congress to help push stalled legislation forward, by re-engaging supporters in the political process, by giving back with service projects across the country, and so much more. And while we can't know what the coming year will bring, all of us, working together, will continue pushing forward for change. Will you help make this a memorable birthday for Barack and wish him a happy 49th?
Thanks so much, Michelle Obama personal info

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.
