Obama Sends Me an Email to Go Vote in NC Tomorrow

Here's the email I received from Barack Obama.  Note the personal touch, he didn't capitalize my first name. ;)

I've gotten phone calls from his volunteers and a phone call from Bill Clinton and an email from Hillary too.

Something tells me that I'm going to go through a political black out period with all of the candidates starting on Wednesday.

brett --

I wanted to get in touch with you one last time before tomorrow's primary.

We've had a long journey together in North Carolina. For more than a year, you have been dedicated to the idea that when ordinary people come together, we can do extraordinary things.

It's been inspiring to see our movement grow in the Tar Heel State, and it strengthens my faith that the American people -- not just here in North Carolina, but across the country -- are ready to stop settling for what the cynics tell us we must accept and start reaching for what's possible.

Tomorrow's our chance to make history.

But the election is going to be close, and it's vitally important that you vote, and bring your family and friends to vote with you.

When Michelle and I talked about my running for president, one of the core goals we both had for this campaign was to leave the political process better off than we found it.

That's just what you've done in North Carolina. And you refused to let the tired old tactics of the political status quo distract you from building this grassroots movement.

If you get out and vote tomorrow -- and bring others to vote too -- our movement will continue to grow. The world will know that North Carolina stood up for a different kind of politics. And real change will be within reach.

Let's bring real change tomorrow.

P.S. -- Here are a few details and rules that will help make the voting process run smoothly. Make sure to share these with your friends:

• Polls are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. If you are in line when the polls close at 7:30 p.m., you have the right to vote.

• If you are a first-time voter who registered by mail, make sure to bring a current and valid photo ID (like a driver's license, student ID, employer ID or government ID), or a document that shows your name and address like a utility bill, bank statement, or paycheck.

• If your name is not on the voter list, first make sure you are at the correct polling place. If you are, ask for a provisional ballot.

• If you moved within the same county before April 6th, 2008, vote at the polling place for your new address.
