The President addressing the DNCC last night:
"Well, here's the point: this president and those in power — those who benefit from keeping things the way they are — they are counting on your cynicism. They know they can't win you over with their policies.
So they're hoping to make it as hard as possible for you to vote, and to convince you that your vote doesn't matter.
That's how they win. That's how they get to keep making decisions that affect your life, and the lives of the people you love. That's how the economy will keep getting skewed to the wealthy and well-connected, how our health systems will continue to allow people to fall through the cracks. That's how a democracy withers, until it's no democracy at all."
We can't let that happen. Do not let them take away your power. Don't let them take away your democracy.
— Barack Obama
We plan on working night and day to power a coalition that engages voters, to ensure that voters actively participate in this election, and to make our democracy work the way it should.
Sign if you agree with President Obama >>
