A Call for 1.5 Million Calls

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe sent out this email appeal today.

Dear Paul,

Yesterday, supporters all across the country responded to Barack's request by making more than 300,000 calls into crucial March 4th primary states.

We reached our goal of one million calls much faster than expected, so we're setting a new goal: 1,500,000 calls to voters by Tuesday.

Use our online phonebanking tool and start making calls right now:

There's no easier or more effective way to keep building momentum for this campaign than making calls to likely supporters.

And there's no more important time to get involved than right now.

The primaries in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island, and Vermont this Tuesday, March 4th, could be decisive for this campaign. Reach out to voters in these states, listen to what's important to them, and share your reasons for supporting Barack.

The online phonebanking tool is easy and fun to use. Here's how it works:

1. Choose a state you'd like to call.
2. Log into My.BarackObama.com and get a list of 20 names that only you will receive. (If you don't have a My.BarackObama account, creating one is fast and easy.)
3. Click on a name and you'll be led through a simple script, question by question.
4. Start making calls.

It's as easy as that -- a list of likely supporters and an opportunity to make personal connections right from your own home.

You are the voice of this campaign, and there are thousands of people out there, waiting to hear from you.

Make your voice heard. Start making calls today:
