Barack Obama takes on netroots organizing tactics of MoveOn and Robert Greenwald on 3/31

Dear ()

Someone in your community is hoping you're free on Saturday, March 31st.

This Saturday, literally thousands of Obama supporters will open up their homes to bring this campaign into communities like yours. Barack will be there too -- via live online video and a simultaneous conference call.

There's just one thing you need to do: show up.

Many hosts have never done something like this before. But they're opening up their homes to provide an opportunity for you to meet face-to-face with local folks who share your same hope for the future.

You'll see and hear Barack live from an event in Iowa, watch a special DVD created for the occasion, and connect with local supporters to plan what you can do to grow the campaign in your community.

Will you find an event near you and RSVP to attend this Saturday?

If you're ready to build a movement -- based on the issues you care about, and to change the political process itself -- now's the time to get involved locally.

If people like you decide to take control of this campaign locally, we'll be able to win this election and do what must be done: end this war in Iraq, make sure everyone has health coverage, make our economy fairer, and rebuild America's leadership role in the world. But it all starts with changing our politics.

If you decide to own a piece of this campaign and take it to the next level locally, we will win this election. We'll also prove that mass participation at the grassroots can change the dynamic of a political system -- a system that too often leaves the people behind.

The first step is using this email as an opportunity to get offline and in-person with supporters in your community. Find an event near you now:

The hosts of these events have invited everyone, from passionate seasoned volunteers to people who are getting involved for the first time.

They're betting that when people who believe in this campaign come together, they can make Barack Obama our next president.

Bring your voice, your passion, and your skills to a get-together in your area. You can find an event and RSVP right here:

The election is a long way off, but we can't afford to sit back and wait to start organizing a few weeks before the first votes.

If we're going to build a movement, we've got to start now.

I hope you'll join us.

Thank you,

David
