Friends,
Many people do not appreciate the work that we all do as campaign volunteers – the doors we knock, the calls we make and the long hours we devote every election season to our candidates for no pay and for little recognition.
I am sure that you have wondered from time to time if the hard work and long hours you dedicate to campaigns and issues you’re passionate about is worth the time and effort. Well, I do believe that it is worth it – and your hard work is more important now than at any point in our history.
I’ve included a link to a short documentary that chronicles President Obama’s tough choices and accomplishments since taking office. Please take a couple of minutes and watch this video, because I believe it will remind us all why we do what we do.

We were all part of making history in 2008, not just because we played a part in electing the first African-American President. We also made history by electing the right person to lead our great nation through very difficult times. We elected a man who is willing to make the tough choices that will lead us to a brighter and better future for all Americans.
On this St. Patrick’s Day weekend I’m reminded of an Irish blessing that starts with the line, “May the road rise to meet you…” I like this line because it conjures up images of the future and a pathway ahead. As we all journey through the campaign to re-elect President Obama, keep your eye on the rising road ahead, and know that the work that we do will make that future brighter for all Americans.
Have a great weekend,
