After we walked off the field at Mile High, Barack and I had some official business to attend to — signing the papers to add our names to the ballots.

At that moment, the general election officially began.

Since you’ve been at the core of this campaign every step of the way, we thought you should be there too.

Watch this short behind-the-scenes video and make your first donation to the general election now:

This new phase of the campaign will move quickly. By the time you read this, we may even know who John McCain has chosen to be the next Dick Cheney.

No matter who it is, it won’t change the fact that John McCain simply isn’t prepared to bring the change we need.

But far more important than McCain’s choice is the choice of whether we tackle the general election with the fierce urgency that the stakes demand.

And that choice is yours.

Joe
