John Kerry sent out this email to each of his 22 Super Tuesday state lists today
(This is the Massachusetts version -- each state's johnkerry.com community voter list received its own version, customized with the relevant barackobama.com lookup link and with that state's voter protection rules added at the bottom of the email.)


Don't forget to vote tomorrow

I haven’t seen a moment like this in American politics since John Kennedy first inspired my generation to get involved in public service.

I’ve spent the last week on the road from Seattle to Tacoma, San Francsco, San Jose, Sacramento, New Haven, and Bridgeport – and this morning I’m back home in Quincy, Massachusetts – all campaigning for Barack Obama. The energy at these events has been nothing short of amazing – from 400 people standing in the rain in San Jose waiting to attend a town hall meeting to one hundred people standing in the cold in a backyard in New Haven.

But here’s what it comes down to: Tuesday’s national Democratic primary, with state after state looking competitive. The Clinton campaign has held the overwhelming lead from the beginning of this primary season, but Barack’s campaign has been on fire.

I have one final event before Super Tuesday: Barack, Ted Kennedy, Governor Deval Patrick, and I will all appear at a rally in Boston at 8 pm, and it’ll be streamed live at BarackObama.com. If you haven’t been to an Obama event, you really should tune in. So go to barackobama.com at 8 pm and watch the rally!

And then tomorrow, it’s time to vote. Tomorrow is primary day in Massachusetts. I urge you to go out and vote – and, if you support Barack Obama like I do, please do what you can to help this surging campaign become a movement that transforms our nation.

You can find your polling place using this great tool from Barack Obama’s campaign:

Barack Obama has built a grass-roots campaign for change all over the country. From the cities of California to the cold plains of North Dakota, from the neighborhoods of Massachusetts to the deserts of Arizona, volunteers are knocking on doors and making phone calls to try to get every vote they can out to the polls or into the caucus rooms.

It’s exactly that kind of organization and energy that can make 2008 into an historic year for Democrats. Barack Obama has inspired a groundswell of activism and commitment. For a great example, check out this music video inspired by Barack’s words – it came from the bottom up, not the top down, created by people who have been touched by this campaign:

So go out and vote tomorrow. Again, you can find your polling place here:

This is an amazing campaign. I’m very proud to be a part of it.

Thank you,
John Kerry


P.S. -- With so many new voters energized by this campaign, there's been some confusion in other states. So, when you go to vote in Massachusetts tomorrow, remember to keep these rules in mind:

• If you are in line or in the process of voting when the polls close, you have the right to vote even after closing of the polls.

• If you are registered to vote, but your name does not appear on the voter list, you still have the right to vote by using a provisional ballot. If this happens to you, you should ask the poll workers for a provisional ballot and should be prepared to provide proof of identity and address through documentation such as a driver’s license.

• If your right to vote is challenged for any reason, you have the right to know the reason and the right to vote by provisional ballot.
