Dear Friend,
In mid-September 2003, national polls showed Joe Lieberman to be the frontrunner
for the Democratic presidential nomination. Then John Kerry won the Iowa
caucus and the New Hampshire primary, and the shift in momentum carried him
to a decisive victory.
The lesson: early polls don't mean a thing and success
in crucial early-state contests will win the Democratic nomination.
With the first votes in the 2008 Presidential campaign
now less than 150 days away, we're entering a decisive time in our movement.
To build momentum for Barack in the early states, supporters
nationwide are hosting Countdown for Change house parties on Saturday, September
15th.

Together, we are counting down the days until the early
primaries and caucuses -- in Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, and South Carolina
-- and now is the time to leverage our national movement to make the maximum
impact in the early states.
Attend a house party and you will:
- Take part in an exclusive conference call with our
top staff in the four early states
- Reach out and make direct contact with voters and
organizers in the early states
- Meet fellow Obama supporters in your community and
build networks that are vital to our success

Never before in American history has the presidential
nominating contest been as compressed or early as it is now.
We can only win in these essential contests if our strongest
supporters combine their efforts across the country.
This phase of the campaign is when early organization
must transform into on-the-ground action. You can be a leader in this action
by signing up to attend a house party today:

Summer is coming to an end, but our campaign is just
heating up. I hope you'll take the time to join this crucial early-state
initiative.
Thank you for your continued energy and support.
