Barack Obama

President Obama: "We're a nation of workers and doers and dreamers. We work hard for what we get. And all we ask for is that our hard work pays off. I believe that the way you grow the economy is from the middle out. I believe in fighting for the middle class because if they're prospering all of us will prosper.

Abram Powell shares how throughout his life he has faced discrimination not only for his race, but for his inability to speak or hear. Because of this, he hasn't had the same opportunities as others.

But Abram persevered through his struggles; learning sign language from his brother, winning the gold medal at the Deaf Olympics; and working at General Motors for 39 years.

Abram saw the need to bring change to the deaf community and the world. He continues his commitment to change by volunteering to ensure President Obama is re-elected in November.

As he shares: "My goal is for all deaf people to get out and vote and support President Obama. I see a lot of deaf people not voting and they need to vote. When I found out OFA was doing voter registration it was a good way to help give information about President Obama and what he has accomplished. The President is a hard worker, just like I was a hard worker."

Del cuatro de septiembre al seis, estadounidenses del todo el país se reunirán -- en persona o virtualmente -- para tomar parte en la Convención Nacional Demócrata y participar en conversaciones de como mover nuestro país adelante. Ahora es el tiempo de alzar la voz y participar -- sea desde Charlotte con el Presidente Obama o viendo por televisión desde casa.

First Lady Michelle Obama shares what it was like moving into the White House with two young daughters.

"I am the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas. I was raised with the help of a white grandfather who survived a Depression to serve in Patton's Army during World War II and a white grandmother who worked on a bomber assembly line at Fort Leavenworth while he was overseas. I've gone to some of the best schools in America and lived in one of the world's poorest nations. I am married to a black American who carries within her the blood of slaves and slaveowners - an inheritance we pass on to our two precious daughters. I have brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles and cousins, of every race and every hue, scattered across three continents, and for as long as I live, I will never forget that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible. It's a story that hasn't made me the most conventional candidate. But it is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than the sum of its parts - that out of many, we are truly one."

"¡Hola a todos!

Siempre recordaré cómo, un poco después de casarnos, Barack y yo, juntos con algunos amigos nuestros, íbamos en busca de firmas para su primera campaña para el congreso estatal.

Tocábamos puertas, conocíamos a nuestros vecinos y hablábamos con ellos acerca de los temas ahí mismo en sus puertas — o hasta en sus salas.

First Lady Michelle Obama announces the launch of "It Takes One". "It Takes One" is a new effort that asks you to inspire one more person to join you every time you take an action to move this country forward. If you're making phone calls or knocking on doors, take a friend along. If you're registering to vote, make sure that a family member is registered as well. If you're attending an event, bring one neighbor along. And if you're voting early on election day, bring one new voter with you. You could inspire five, or ten, or 100 new people before November.

President Obama kicked off a two-day "Betting On America" bus tour. He talked to voters in their communities about his commitment to investing in American workers and creating jobs here at home. He's also discussing the choice in this election -- between his vision for growing our economy from the middle out and Mitt Romney's vision for an economy built from the top down.
