Before his Election Night speech last night, Barack sent out this message to suppporters:

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don't want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign. We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack

What about voters with disabilities?

Voters with disabilities may ask anyone (except their employer, an agent of their employer, or an officer or agent of their union) to provide voting assistance. If a voter does not request a specific individual, a poll worker may assist the voter upon request. Polling places should be accessible to people with disabilities.

We have 5 days left to make sure as many people as possible cast their votes for change.

But you'd be surprised how many of your friends and family don't know where to vote in your state, a crucial battleground state.

Take a minute to look up your polling place on our voting website, VoteForChange.com, then forward this email to your friends, family, and neighbors so they can look up theirs, too.

On VoteForChange.com you can find out where to vote and get crucial voting information.

This race is too close for you -- or anyone you know -- not to vote.

And the issues we're facing are too important to keep anyone's voice out of the political process just because they didn't know where to vote.

Can you forward this email to at least five friends, family members, or coworkers and tell them to look up their polling location?

Supporters like you can transform this nation, and I'm counting on your help to make sure every Obama supporter in your state knows where they can cast their vote for change on Election Day.

Thank you for your help,
Jon

Barack sent out this email urging Alabamans to register today:

You may already be registered to vote, but you probably know several people who are not.

If they're not registered by today, they can't vote in this historic election. And if they're registering by mail, it has to be postmarked today.

This election is going to hinge on unprecedented voter turnout.

Visit VoteForChange.com, our one-stop voter registration website, and register before the Alabama deadline.

Then encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to do the same.

Together, we can make history and bring about the change we need.

Thanks,

Barack

P.S. -- Please forward this email to your friends, family, and neighbors and make sure they register today.

Barack recently sent out the following email...



You'd be surprised by how many people you know who aren't registered to vote.

Registration deadlines are coming up soon, and we need every single vote we can get to win this election.

Tell your friends, family, and neighbors to check out our new one-stop voter registration website.

Just forward this message.

VoteforChange.com makes it easier than ever to register. Instead of tracking down the right forms, all you need to do is answer a few basic questions and you'll be ready to vote. You can also:

-- Confirm your existing registration
-- Apply to vote absentee
-- Find your polling place

If you don't know your own registration status or you'd like to learn more, take a minute to visit the site right now.

This race is too close and too important to stay home on Election Day.

If you take the time to register and vote -- and make sure everyone you know is registered as well -- we'll be able to turn the tide of the past eight years.

It's people just like you who will transform this nation.

Thanks,

Barack
