Supporters in Ohio rocked for Barack with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers after a weekend of action in April.

Being Obama supporters, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers decided to throw a free concert to reward volunteers who held over 650 phone shifts in a four day period. Over half of those shifts were from brand new volunteers who had never volunteered before at the local OFA office.

The Greater Together HBCU Launch in Durham, North Carolina brought together students from all over the country to talk about issues important to young Americans and what things they could do to get President Barack Obama re-elected in November.

Jim Messina shares what you can tell your friends about the latest polls and why we can't lose focus on our grassroots organizing efforts.

 Hey everybody. I'm Jim Messina, the President's campaign manager. I wanted to give you a quick update on what we've been up to this month, and what that's going to mean between now and November.

We had 169,500 first-time donors in April—putting us within reach of 2 million donors this election cycle. And here's my favorite part: our average donation was $50.23, with 98 percent of those donations $250 or less. That makes our campaign different, and it's how we're going to build a winning organization across the country.
