Dear Faisal,
Join the Virginia Drive for Change My name is Sheila O'Connell, and I'm the Maryland State Director for Obama for America.
As you know, we live right next door to a state that is shaping up to be a crucial general election battleground in a way that it hasn't been for decades -- Virginia. And Barack supporters here in Maryland have an opportunity to help a Democratic presidential candidate succeed there for the first time in more than 40 years.
But now that there are just seven weeks left until November 4th, it's going to be a sprint to Election Day.
And our neighbors in Virginia are going to be counting on us to help put Barack over the top.
That's why this weekend and every weekend until Election Day, we're organizing teams of supporters to travel to Virginia with our Drive for Change weekend canvass.
Sign up to attend a Drive for Change canvass this weekend and make a big impact in Virginia.
In just the last three months, supporters like you have led an unprecedented voter registration drive that has helped more than 110,000 Virginians register to vote.
It's a remarkable accomplishment, and it will go a long way towards helping Barack succeed there. But time is running out before Virginia's voter registration deadline on Monday, October 6th.
That's why one of the most significant things you can do right now is take a short trip to Virginia to register people to vote, talk to undecided voters about Barack, and help grow this movement for change.
No experience is required. Staff members will provide you with everything you need, every step of the way.
Sign up and take a short trip to make a big difference:

P.S. -- If you're ready to take your commitment to the next level, we're looking for people to become Deputy Field Organizers and commit to working in Virginia for the last few weeks before Election Day. First you'll attend a day-long Camp Obama session -- then, you'll head to Virginia to help Barack for the final push. Apply now to attend a Camp Obama near you:
