Ohioans know about the false attacks and whisper campaigns that political insiders and shadowy groups spread about our candidates. And we know why they spread them — to keep people out of the political process and keep us from the change that we need.

This year, it’s already happening again. And we need your help to spread the truth.

Across the country, supporters like you have joined the Obama Action Wire to push back against these attacks with a positive message based on real facts.

Here in Ohio, we are proud to launch the Ohio Action Wire, which will allow us to respond to misinformation and take action on issues specifically affecting the Buckeye state.

Join the Ohio Action Wire group and help fight back:

The Ohio Action Wire is an official campaign group that will serve as our front line in combating negative and divisive comments from our opponents here in Ohio.

As a member of this group you will receive calls to action and breaking news to share with your personal network of contacts.

These efforts couldn’t be more important. In the 2004 presidential election, George Bush won Ohio by just 118,599 votes — about 9 votes per precinct. That’s why spreading the truth, neighbor-to-neighbor and voter-to-voter, will be vital to our success this time around.

Last week, I asked you to register new voters on 4th of July weekend, and you delivered. Together, we registered over 6,000 voters.

Now, we need your help to build the Ohio Action Wire so we can respond to false attacks in Ohio — quickly, accurately, and with the power of our grassroots movement.

Join the Ohio Action Wire now and help spread the truth:

With your help, and the help of thousands of supporters like you, we will stand up for the truth and make sure that these attacks don’t get in the way of the change we need.

Thanks,

Aaron
