Obama's New Video - CHANGE

This video was sent to me in an email from Obama's
campaign.  It explained how on Saturday, May 10th,
so many voters across teh country came together at
over 100 "Vote for Change" kickoff events.
There was at least one in every single state. 
The people at these events heard from speaker
such as Kathleen Sebelius, Kansas' Governor, and
Deval Patrick, Governor of Massachusetts.  They
discussed how to register new voters and then hit
the streets in their own communities to get more
people signed up and involved.  Obama said in the
email, "We're not just building a campaign.  We're
going to change the political map in this
country by reaching out to people whose voices too
often go unheard."  The email also included two stories
of people who participated in the event.  Erika from
Chandler, Arizona said, "It was a really great feeling
to see the community united by this effort. All ages,
races and walks of life were represented at this event
-- it was awesome to be part of a cohesive group working
forward toward a common goal."  Julie from Tulsa, Oklahoma
said, "The most exciting registrations that I worked on
were young people who were registering for the very first
 time. I assisted two of these voters, and they were both
so proud!  One was about to graduate from high school and
the other was in her first year at a local university.
Being able to vote in their first presidential election,
and to participate in American democracy, meant something
really special to both of them."  The email explained how
these events are important because it really gets the people
involved and gives them the tools that they need in order
to help make a change.  The email also provided a link
to find "Vote for Change" events near you or create your own.
 This is just another example of how well Obama is using
ordinary people to help his campaign.
