Take a minute to sign the card for the President

Organizing for Action
Joe --

I just signed OFA's birthday card for President Obama, and I left a note, too.

But to explain it, I need to tell you a quick story:

When I worked at the White House, one of my top jobs was helping get health care reform passed.

And four times, I had to walk into the Oval Office and say, "Mr. President, we just can't get health care done -- it's impossible."

And each time, he looked at me and said, "Messina, we are going to get this done."

Because he knew how important reform was to so many people -- and he wasn't going to stop until it was done.

He's not president because he likes having his own theme music when he walks into a room. He's the real thing -- and he's in it, every day, for the right reasons.

He's got about 1,200 days left to finish what he started -- and it's going to be our job to help make the most of every one of them.

So here's what I wrote on his card:

"Mr. President, happy birthday. Thanks for keeping up the fight -- even when it seems impossible. -JM"

Sign his card, too, and let him know why you're in this:

Thanks,
