Big news: In 10 days, President Obama is hitting the campaign trail.
On Saturday, May 5th, the President and First Lady Michelle Obama are
holding the first two public rallies of the campaign in Columbus, Ohio, and
Richmond, Virginia. He'll speak about how far we've come, and lay out the
very real stakes in this election: Are we going to continue to move
forward, rebuilding an economy that's meant to last, with a growing middle
class and more Americans getting a fair shot? Or are we going to go back to
the same failed policies that crashed our economy and left too many folks
struggling to catch up? That's the choice.
These kinds of events are one of the hallmarks of this organization.
Millions of people first came to know and support candidate Barack Obama in
2007 and 2008 when they met him at rallies and town halls in their
communities. We're now entering the general election of his final campaign
-- this day should be something pretty special.
The President would like two supporters from across the country and their
guests to meet him backstage before he goes on at the first rally.
Supporters like you are the core of this campaign -- so we're opening this
up to anyone willing to sign up.
 Right now, by signing up to receive important campaign updates on your
phone, you will be automatically entered to join the President
backstage.
 
What we're looking at right now is essentially the start of a general
election. We've all but got our opponent. This is what we've been building
for since we launched this campaign last April -- and we're ready to go.
I can tell you the President can't wait to get out there.
You really can't lose on this one: As part of our mobile community, you'll
be sure to hear about events near you, when the President will be in your
area, and other campaign news.

Obama backstage before he starts firing folks up.
