The attacks

Obama for America

Hello:

Why would the Republicans spend a whole night of their convention
attacking ordinary people?

With the nation watching, the Republicans mocked, dismissed, and actually
laughed out loud at Americans who engage in community service and organizing.

Our convention was different. We gave the stage to everyday Americans who
hunger for change and stepped up to make phone calls, knock on doors, and
raise money in small amounts in their communities.

You may have missed it, but we also showed the country a video with the faces
and voices of those organizers, volunteers, and donors from every corner
of the country.


Watch the video and make a donation of $5 or more now to show that in this
election, ordinary people will make their voices heard.

What you didn’t hear from the Republicans at their convention is a single
new idea about how to make the healthcare system work, get our economy moving
for the middle class, or improve education.

Just attacks — on me, and on you.

But what the McCain attack squad doesn’t understand is that people like you
– who devote part of their busy lives to organizing and building their communities
– have the power to change this country.

With your help, that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Thank you,

Barack

Subject: What you just saw

Hello:  –

I wasn’t planning on sending you something tonight. But if you saw what I
saw from the Republican convention, you know that it demands a response.

I saw John McCain’s attack squad of negative, cynical politicians. They lied
about Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and they attacked you for being a part
of this campaign.

But worst of all — and this deserves to be noted — they insulted the very
idea that ordinary people have a role to play in our political process.

You know that despite what John McCain and his attack squad say, everyday
people have the power to build something extraordinary when we come together.
Make a donation of $5 or more right now to remind them:

Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack’s experience
as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades
ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when
the local steel plants closed.

Let’s clarify something for them right now.

Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians
and their failed policies.

And it’s no surprise that, after eight years of George Bush, millions of
people have found that by coming together in their local communities they
can change the course of history. That promise is what our campaign has been
about from the beginning.

Throughout our history, ordinary people have made good on America’s promise
by organizing for change from the bottom up. Community organizing is the
foundation of the civil rights movement, the women’s suffrage movement, labor
rights, and the 40-hour workweek. And it’s happening today in church basements
and community centers and living rooms across America.

Meanwhile, we still haven’t gotten a single idea during the entire Republican
convention about the economy and how to lift a middle class so harmed by
the Bush-McCain policies.

It’s now clear that John McCain’s campaign has decided that desperate lies
and personal attacks — on Barack Obama and on you — are the only way they
can earn a third term for the Bush policies that McCain has supported more
than 90 percent of the time.

But you can send a crystal clear message.

Enough is enough. Make your voice heard loud and clear by making a $5 donation
right now:

Thank you for joining more than 2 million ordinary Americans who refuse to
be silenced.
