At a meeting recently with President Obama and tribal leaders from across the nation, I got to see firsthand just how dedicated the President is to the Native American community.
But you don't have to take my word for it -- his record speaks for itself. He permanently reauthorized the Indian Health Care Improvement Act to boost heath care access for Native Americans, signed a memorandum directing every federal agency to consult and collaborate with tribal officials, and, when he signed the Recovery Act, he provided more than $X billion in funding to help tribal communities renovate schools, spur job creation, improve housing, and more.
Here are two easy ways you can connect with Native Americans who are stepping up for President Obama this fall, and help to ensure that he wins in November:
1. Join Native Americans for Obama on Dashboard, the campaign's online organizing hub. Once you're in, you'll be able to message other members, share your own story and your experiences from being involved in this election, and coordinate organizing efforts with folks across the country. It's the best way to stay personally connected with other Native Americans for Obama. You'll need to sign up for Dashboard if you're not a member -- but don't worry, it's fast and easy. 
2. Check out NativeAmericans.BarackObama.com, where you can find out how to get more involved, join an event near you, get registered to vote, and more. The site is also a great place to get the facts on President Obama's accomplishments for Native Americans, so when you're having conversations with your friends, family, and neighbors, you'll know just what to tell them about the President's support for the community.
As this election heats up, President Obama is going to need you with him more than ever -- so I hope you'll help spread the word on his commitment to Native Americans, and get even more engaged in the work that lies ahead of us.
