2012 Election

One of the campaign's secrets of success is telling our story. Peggy Moore, California Political Director, explains how sharing our stories with each other help motivate, connect, and inspire this campaign to work together and ensure President Obama is re-elected in November.

Betsy Hoover, Director of Online Organizing for Obama for America, shows you how to use the Online Call Tool.

It's never been easier to connect with other volunteers in your area.

President Obama went on a three day bus tour through Iowa and held grassroots events in Oskaloosa, Marshalltown and Waterloo. In Oskaloosa, he shared how the wind energy industry has become an even bigger source of jobs. In Iowa alone, 20% of the state's electricity now comes from the wind.

First stop on the Women are Watching bus tour: Concord, New Hampshire. Joined by Senator Jeanne Shaheen and women's health activist Sandra Fluke, hundreds gathered outside the State House in New Hampshire to protect and promote women's health.

Missouri Congressman and Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin has always been out of touch when it comes to women's health issues, but he went too far when he claimed that women who are the victims of "legitimate rape" don't get pregnant. There is no doubt about it: Rep. Todd Akin is wrong for women.

“If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.” –Todd Akin, Republican Congressman from Missouri who is seeking the Senate nomination

Dear Democrat,

Mitt Romney and other Republican leaders calling for Todd Akin to resign his campaign need to take in more territory starting with Romney’s VP candidate and including newly minted right wing darling Ted Cruz. The only distinction between Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan and Todd Akin is that Akin put down the dog whistle and stated the policy out loud. Akin’s disgusting rhetoric matches the policies of the Republican Party.

Lyrics:
You're insecure
Some Say a Bore
Morally bankrupt but you profited some mo - oh - ore
Outsourcing jobs
Bain cover up
Two years of tax returns really ain't enough

Everyone else on TV can see it
Everyone else but Fox News

Romney you lie to voters like no body else

Watching the Sunday news shows can sometimes be a tricky proposition. Just as the panelists begin to face off, the moderators often pivot to another topic or allow the other panelists to digress into their own agendas. By the time the round robin is complete, it's easy to have lost track of who was saying what to whom.

Four years ago as I had the privilege to travel all across this country and meet Americans from all walks of life.

I decided nobody else should have to endure the heartbreak of a broken health care system. No one in the wealthiest nation on earth should go broke because they get sick.
