Saturday: Register voters in Hampton

Friend -- This Saturday, there's something you can do to have a direct impact on the results in November -- for President Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket. Across Virginia, supporters are getting together this Saturday to register voters. Will you come out and join the voter registration drive in Hampton? Here are the details: What: Register voters in Hampton Where: 19 W Mercury Blvd Hampton, VA 23669 When: Saturday, March 3rd 1:00 pm It's up to you to make sure folks register in advance to cast their ballot. Registering people to vote is easy -- and it matters. But it won't just happen by itself. It will take all of us pitching in, doing our fair share, and getting as many Virginians as possible ready to vote. Our state helped turn the tide in 2008, and could play an even bigger role this year. Voter registration drives are at the core of what we do. Please RSVP for the voter registration drive this Saturday in Hampton: http://va.barackobama.com/Virginia-Day-of-Action Thanks, Ashley Ashley Baia Virginia State Field Director Organizing for America

I'm writing to ask your opinion

Friend -- As you may have noticed, we've asked you for a donation a few times now. But according to our records, you haven't yet made an online donation to this campaign at this email address. (If our records are wrong, I apologize and thank you!) I'm not writing to ask you for money again. I'm actually writing to ask your opinion about why you haven't given, and what you think would inspire you or other Obama supporters like you to decide to take the leap and donate. We have two quick questions for you. Can you take a minute to answer them? There's a good reason we're asking for your feedback: The kind of organization we all decided to be a part of only works if people like you pitch in to build it. It's also the reason no other candidate has been able to match our level of grassroots support. This isn't the easiest way to run a campaign -- but we know it's the right way. That's why we want to know what you're thinking. Please take a minute to answer these two questions today: http://my.barackobama.com/Your-Support-In-2012 Thanks so much, Rufus Rufus Gifford National Finance Director Obama for America P.S. -- Of course, if you'd like to become one of our million-plus grassroots donors today, by all means, please make a donation of $3 or whatever you can afford.

Tipsheet: Romney's big speech

Friend -- Mitt Romney spoke in front of 65,000 empty seats at Ford Field in Detroit today to outline his economic plan. With all eyes on the Michigan primary next week, this is a critical time to spread the truth. The differences between his plan and President Obama's go much farther than the fact that he would've "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." We've laid out a few in this week's tipsheet. Take a look, then pass these on right now while the story's still hot: #1 KEEPING HIS WORD: THE AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY As Romney speaks in Detroit, folks shouldn't forget that he and every other GOP candidate opposed the auto recovery, preferring to let the industry go bankrupt. From Day One, President Obama has stood with the American auto industry, saying, "We cannot, and must not, and we will not let our auto industry simply vanish." He's kept his word: More than 1.4 million American auto industry jobs have been saved, 200,000 created, and more than 150,000 are expected in the next few years. Make sure folks know who's on the right side of this one. Pass it on: #2 GOP CANDIDATES ANNOUNCE TAX PLANS THAT WOULD EXPLODE DEFICIT Not a day goes by without hearing Romney and Santorum push for cutting the corporate tax rate. But what you don't hear is how they'll pay for it. President Obama plans to make our businesses more competitive by cutting the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 28 percent -- and closing special-interest loopholes and subsidies to cover the difference. Romney and Santorum want to cut it, too, but they're sure not willing to close any special loopholes to do it. They actually offer no plan to make up the difference, meaning these corporate savings add straight to the deficit. Keep these self-proclaimed budget hawks honest: #3 MITT FIGHTS TO KEEP THE CARRIED INTEREST TAX LOOPHOLE Carried interest is tax jargon for letting Wall Street private equity and hedge fund managers pay a lower tax rate than most middle-class Americans -- and Mitt Romney is determined to protect it. Why? Maybe because he's earned $13 million from it the past two years, and paid a 15 percent rate when his normal income would be taxed at more than double. President Obama recently announced he'd close this loophole, saving $13 billion in the next 10 years. Folks need to know that when the President's working towards a system where everyone pays their fair share, Mitt Romney's working to protect millionaires and billionaires. Read more on carried interest, and tell others, too: #4 ROMNEY HEADLINES KOCH BROTHERS EVENT Tomorrow, Mitt Romney will be speaking at an event sponsored by the Koch brothers. These are the same guys who made their billions by jacking up prices at the pump -- and have already spent millions spreading lies about climate change science. It's good to remember that, while President Obama has outlined a strategy to ease gas prices, Mitt Romney quintupled a tax on gas as governor -- on top of the gas tax Massachusetts motorists were already paying. Get the truth here -- and spread the word: #5 MITT ROMNEY: THE MOST EXTREME ON IMMIGRATION In case you missed Wednesday's GOP debate, Mitt Romney reaffirmed his position as the most extreme GOP candidate on immigration. He praised Arizona's radical anti-immigration law, SB 1070, which forces all immigrants to carry "alien registration" documents and allows police to question them at any time, with or without cause. Add this to his support of encouraging "self-deportation" and promise to veto the DREAM Act, and you can see why he wins at being most extreme. Make sure folks know he actually called Arizona's immigration law a model for the nation. Spread the word now: It takes a lot of time to sort out and fight back on this stuff, but I know that with you on our side, we can get the truth out there. Thanks for your help, Stephanie P.S. -- After you've spread the word, kick back and enjoy this: http://my.barackobama.com/Sweet-Home-Chicago

Your Truth Team tipsheet

Friend -- Welcome to the Truth Team tipsheet. You signed up to be part of the team that fights back, and there's no time to waste. This is the first of regular updates we'll be sending with actions you can take immediately to help support the President -- to debunk false attacks and make sure folks hear about what we've accomplished. Here's how it works: We'll round up the best of our posts and turn them into short items, with Facebook and Twitter buttons after each so you can instantly share them with friends and family as you go down the list. Read through this week's news, then do something about it: #1 ROMNEY FLIPS ON EARMARKS This morning, Mitt's up with a new ad in Michigan slamming Rick Santorum for supporting earmarks. The thing is, before he ran for president, Mitt Romney was a pretty big fan of earmarks himself. In 2002, he requested "hundreds of millions of dollars in federal aid" for the Salt Lake City Olympics. He did it as governor of Massachusetts for the Big Dig project too, saying "I'd be embarrassed if I didn't always ask for federal money whenever I got the chance." Call him on his hypocrisy while the story's still breaking: #2 SANTORUM'S BIG BUDGET PLANS This week, after President Obama released his 2013 budget plan, Rick Santorum called it "preposterous, not only in overall funding but in priorities." But a closer look at Santorum's plan shows he'd cut taxes for the wealthy, raise taxes for some families with children, and slash Social Security and Medicare under the "Cut, Cap, and Balance" plan. Here's the best part: Santorum's plan won't balance anything -- it actually adds to the deficit. Preposterous, indeed. Fight back: #3 RUBIO'S CONTRACEPTION PLAN In response to President Obama's decision that all women should have access to contraception, free of cost, Senator Rubio introduced a bill that would let any organization, religious or not, sidestep this rule, putting a woman's access to contraception at the whim of her employer. His solution for women who still would like it? Pay for it themselves, or find somewhere else to work. Folks need to hear what the GOP's trying to do. Pass it on: #4 "LET DETROIT GO BANKRUPT" When it comes to the auto recovery, Romney and Santorum continue to argue that a "managed" bankruptcy would've been better. Romney's famously said "Let Detroit go bankrupt," and Santorum would've preferred an industry "meltdown." This week, GM posted its largest profit in its history, and last month, it reclaimed its title as the "World's Largest Automaker." 1.4 million jobs were saved under the auto recovery. They're refusing to admit that the recovery's working, and it's time to call them on it. Show that we will: And now for Good News... #5 KEEPING HIS WORD ON HATE CRIMES As a senator, Barack Obama co-sponsored hate crime legislation because he believes that "...nobody in this country who should suffer violence because of who they are, what they look like, what they believe in, what faith they worship." As President, he kept his word, signing the Matthew Shepard & James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act to strengthen protection against crimes based on race, color, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, or gender. This is a promise kept. Spread the good news: #6 RECOVERY ACT ANNIVERSARY Three years ago today, President Obama signed the Recovery Act into law. Since then, more than 70,000 small businesses were able to receive loans to get started or stay on their feet. We put together a short video on the story of Bill, one business owner who has benefitted from the Recovery Act. Pass it on: Every day from now until November, there will be misleading news stories, attacks, and flat-out lies about the President's record. It's our job set to them straight -- and nothing works better than the truth, backed by sound sources. Fight back by spreading the word today. Until next time, Stephanie P.S. -- Here's a fun fact: Did you know President Obama is Irish? Last year, he visited his ancestors' town in Ireland and joked, "My name is Barack Obama, of the Moneygall Obamas, and I've come home to find the apostrophe we lost somewhere along the way." So we created new "O'bama" shirts, just in time for St. Patrick's Day. Check them out.
