Dear Friend,
A new chapter in American Politics begins this Saturday, when thousands
of supporters like you bring our campaign to doorsteps across the country.
Last night in New Hampshire, Barack shared his
message of change in the second official Democratic debate. But engaging
the other candidates is only one element of the campaign.
It's up to each of us to engage people in our
own communities. It’s going to take a movement of Americans just as hungry
for change as you are to transform this election and this country.
I'm Trista Allen, and I run the Southern Field
Desk for Obama for America. I've been working around the clock with many
of you to prepare for Saturday. More than 1,000 neighborhood walks have been
organized in all 50 states as part of our historic Walk for Change --
find one near you
.
Watch a short video and then use our interactive
map to locate the closest walk in your community:

If you've never knocked on doors for a campaign
before, don't worry. Thousands of people participating on Saturday have
never been involved in the political process. They've taken the leap because
they know this campaign is about more than just electing a new president.
When you go out into your neighborhood on Saturday, you’ll be part of a
nationwide movement for fundamental change. When you talk to your neighbors,
you’ll be rebuilding a sense of community and sharing our goals for the common
good.
We've created a short training video that goes
over the basics of how to canvass your neighborhood effectively. Watch
the video and find a walk near you:

Barack Obama has sparked a movement of hundreds
of thousands of Americans ready to take ownership of the political process
and make it work for people. On Saturday, June 9th, our movement
will take action on an unprecedented scale, and there's still time
for you to be a part of this historic day.
It's going to be huge -- and this is just the
beginning.
Thank you,
The Walk for Change Field Team
Trista, Buffy, Mary, Brandon, Hans, Chris, Ray, and Temo
