Forgit gets Obama support

Time is running out for you to make an impact in a special election in Virginia for a Representative in Congress, which will be held this Tuesday, December 11th.A solid Democratic candidate, Phil Forgit, has stepped up to take on the fight in a traditionally Republican district.

Phil Forgit is an Iraq War veteran and a Bronze Star recipient; as a Naval Reservist, he was mobilized to serve from his former job as a 4th grade teacher. His service at home and abroad makes him uniquely suited to bring change to Washington.

It’s a tough race, but if we’re going to change this country, we have to be ready to stand up for our principles everywhere.

There’s no time to waste — here’s what you can do:

• Contact other Obama supporters in Virginia’s 1st Congressional District to encourage them to get involved now and get to their polling place on Tuesday. You can make calls from home using the My.BarackObama.com phone banking tool:

• Donate to Phil Forgit’s campaign to help fund get-out-the-vote operations:

• If you’re in the area, find local campaign events on the Forgit campaign web site, including events with Governor Tim Kaine and former Governor Mark Warner:

One of the most inspiring things about the movement we’ve created together is that it’s bigger than a presidential campaign.

We’ve brought new people into the political process, and we’re proving that a new model of grassroots campaigning works. The ground support we are building now will impact races up and down the ballot for a generation.

Right now, you have the opportunity to make a difference — to impact this election, to strengthen our party, and to build the broader movement for change.

Please join us in taking action.

Thank you,

Barack
