David Plouffe sent the following message to OFA supporters:
We've got a big task ahead of us in this fall's elections.
We need to get as many of the 15 million first-time voters from 2008 back to the polls as possible.
Historical trends are against us this year, but, with your help, we can overcome them.
If we can increase the turnout levels of first-time voters by just 8% over previous trends, that would mean a shift of 2% in the final vote total -- more than enough to swing close races across the country and make sure we elect candidates committed to change.
And it all starts with our Vote 2010 Kick-off Canvasses the weekend of June 5th. OFA supporters from Maine Hawaii
We know that starting early will help us build the connection we'll need with these voters to get them to the polls in November.
Don't worry -- no prior experience hosting an event is required. We'll make sure you have all the materials you'll need for a successful event -- scripts, sign-in sheets, pledge cards, and much more.
And there will be a conference call for hosts nationwide to discuss events and ask any questions you might have.
We've accomplished so much thus far -- Wall Street reform just passed the Senate, historic health insurance reform is already helping millions across the country, and the Recovery Act brought the economy back from the brink.
But there is so much left to be done -- combating climate change, reforming our immigration and education systems, making sure Elena Kagan becomes our next Supreme Court Justice, and doing everything we can to create a more just and fair America.
And to do all that, we need to make sure that we have enough partners in elected office fighting alongside us for change.
So please help us -- sign up to host a Vote 2010 Kick-Off Canvass the weekend of June 5th:
Thanks for all you do,
David Plouffe
