Meet Nick
BY | Wednesday, April 8 2009
"We fought so hard to elect President Obama -- why would we give up now? If we don't continue to help the President enact the change this country needs, we'll have done this for nothing." -- Nick Buis Friend -- Nick Buis is just an ordinary guy. He's a big sports fan, enjoys spending time with his little brother, and comes from a family of farmers in Indiana. But when you put someone like Nick in every town across America, the result is anything but ordinary. Dedicated organizers like Nick are overseeing neighborhood canvassing campaigns, local grassroots efforts, and service projects. He's empowering citizens to make their voices heard, from their communities all the way to the halls of Congress. And that's exactly how we're going to defeat the divisive politics that still plague Washington and stand in the way of the change we need. Opponents are already pulling out all the stops to block or weaken President Obama's budget -- even when it spells disaster for our country. That's why President Obama needs full-time organizers like Nick in all 50 states. To keep our grassroots movement going strong -- and protect the President's economic recovery plan from last-minute attacks -- we need your financial support by Monday, April 13th. Will you step up before the Monday deadline and strengthen this movement with a donation of $5 or more? https://donate.barackobama.com/meetnick2 In the coming months and years, we'll have the chance to bring health care to every American, switch to a clean energy economy, and restore America's competitive edge by transforming our education system. But first we'll need to win a high-stakes battle over President Obama's budget -- a bold blueprint for change that is vital to our economic recovery. Special interests are investing considerable resources in an attempt to gut or weaken the budget before it reaches the President's desk. Already, Organizing for America has delivered hundreds of thousands of pledges supporting President Obama's plan to Congress, generated 180,000 phone calls, and aired TV ads in key states. Our voices are being heard. But we can't sustain these efforts without substantial resources. With your support, we can staff field offices in all 50 states with skilled organizers like Nick, and keep up the incredibly important movement that you helped bring to life. Before the Monday deadline, make a donation of $5 or more: https://donate.barackobama.com/meetnick2 Nick is just one example of our movement's potential. With your support, we can keep millions of supporters across the country engaged in the political process, put partisan politics behind us, and help President Obama build a lasting foundation of prosperity for our future.
