take ownership

Dear Matt,

I wanted to get in touch with you before Monday's voter registration deadline in Kentucky.

Voter registration is about more than just politics -- it's about encouraging folks to get involved in a process they've felt left out of for far too long.

In more than 40 contests so far, that's exactly what we've seen. Millions of people have voted for the first time or come back after years of frustration. Supporters like you have reached out to friends and neighbors and worked to bring about the kind of change we need.

I know we can make this happen in Kentucky -- but only if you take ownership of this effort.

This weekend is our best chance to bring new voices into the political process -- the deadline to register in order to vote in the May 20th primary is next Monday, April 21st. It's more important than ever that you get involved in your community and help register voters.

Supporters are gathering at campaign offices across the state. Come see us at the office near you and make a difference this weekend:

We have only a few days before the deadline -- and thousands of potential supporters to reach.

I hope I can count on your help this weekend.

Thank you,

Barack

P.S. -- If you can't make it out to a canvass this weekend, you can still make a difference. Send a message to your friends and neighbors encouraging them to register before the deadline:
