obama-mentum

Matthew --

Make a matching donation A week from tomorrow could be the decisive day in this campaign.

We started behind in the two biggest states that will vote on March 4th, Ohio and Texas, but as we spend time on the ground, we are gaining strength.

But that's nothing new for us. We have started as the underdog in just about every state. And thanks to a growing movement of support from ordinary people across the country, we came from behind and won the last 11 contests in a row.

We can do this again.

It's not going to be easy -- attacks from our Democratic opponent and the presumptive Republican nominee are growing more frequent and more desperate. And the size of these two states will require unprecedented energy and resources to organize supporters and persuade undecided voters.

But we're within striking distance of our goal of one million people owning a piece of this campaign by March 4th, and every single person getting involved makes a difference.

If you make a donation through our matching program, you will double the impact of a first-time donor.

Encourage a fellow supporter to be one of the million. Make a matching donation right now:

We're within reach of this extraordinary goal for the same reason we've come from behind to unexpectedly win 26 out of 37 contests so far.

We're succeeding because our campaign has always been about bringing new people into the process.

Thanks to you, we're on the verge of history. Please do what you can to see this through.

Thank you,

Barack

P.S. -- Beginning this Saturday, March 1st, we're holding a One Million for Change canvass across Ohio as a lead up to their primary on March 4th. This canvass will be a great opportunity to reach out to Ohio voters, talk about why you are a part of this movement, and remind them to vote on Primary Day. I hope you'll take part.

Dear Matthew,

Get Out The Vote in Ohio

Something special is going on in Ohio this weekend.

All across the state, supporters are launching a One Million for Change canvass -- with the goal of knocking on one million doors before the Ohio primary on March 4th.

This effort is a terrific opportunity to reach out to Ohio voters face-to-face, and to put our amazing grassroots energy to work in support of Barack in the final days before the primary. The race in Ohio is extremely close, so we need supporters from all over to get involved.

Sign up to take a trip to Ohio for the One Million for Change canvass, and help Get Out The Vote for Barack:

Across the country, we've seen the amazing things that happen when people work together, united behind a common purpose.

Now, we're heading into the March 4th Ohio primary with the most states, the most delegates, and having won the last 11 contests in a row.

The election in Ohio will play an important role in determining the Democratic nominee for President. Our Democratic opponent has indicated that Ohio is a "must-win" state, so a strong showing for our campaign in this contest could help decide the outcome of the nomination race.

The One Million for Change canvass is an important way to make that happen. Be part of this effort, and help make sure Ohio voters hear about the kind of change that Barack will bring to Washington.

No prior experience is required, and I promise this will be an experience of a lifetime. Come to Ohio, meet your fellow supporters, and talk to Ohio voters about why you are a part of this movement.

Together, we can change America.

See you this weekend,
