An Email from Mrs. Obama
An email I received from Mrs. Obama and my response:


David -- (We are on a first name basis. :))

It's hard to believe there are less than 50 days before Election Day. (Go-Bama!)

That's not a lot of time. And since women voters could decide this election, we have to take this opportunity to talk to our friends and family about what's at stake. (You want me to talk to people? ok.)

We've seen the power of women throughout this campaign -- educating each other about the issues and building this movement by sharing our personal stories. (Maybe this is the one thing Repubs always forget, everyone has a personal story.)

That's why right now it's so important for women all across Colorado to come together. (Yeah!)

On every issue important to women -- from access to healthcare and universal pre-school to equal pay for equal work -- Barack is the only candidate who can bring about the change we need. (absolutely)

Join Women for Obama and make your voice heard today. (Interesting, you would like to hear what I say.)

Barack was raised by a single mother and grandmother. He understands the tough choices that working women in this country face every single day -- because he lived it. And now, he and I are raising two young girls. They are the reason we're in this race -- to make the world a better place, full of opportunity, for them and for all of our children. (Those are very honorable reasons to run. I like that you are looking at the future.)

I know that Barack and Joe Biden are a strong team for women and families across the country because they have the record and the commitment to prove it -- but it's up to supporters like you to help get this message of change out into your communities. (You would like me to get the message out, and to talk to others? Ok.)

Barack and Joe will pass tax cuts for 95% of American families, ensure that women get equal pay for the same jobs as men, put the needs of working and middle class families ahead of special interests, and change our broken school system so that every single child in this nation has a world-class education from pre-school through college. (Sounds great!)

But they can't do it alone. This campaign is counting on us. If women in Colorado come together to support Barack and Joe, we can bring about the change we need.

Get started right now by joining Women for Obama:

The future of women and all of our families is at stake in this election. (Yes, I agree)

Thank you so much for all that you do, (Actually, thank YOU so much for all that you do.)

Michelle

P.S. -- We've only come as far as we have thanks to supporters like you giving their time, energy and passion. And right now, women all across the country will be reaching out to one another through special Women's Week of Action phonebanks and canvasses. Find out how you can get involved and get started today:

(Go-Bama!)
