There's an important election taking place for governor in Virginia. Election Day, Tuesday, November 3rd, is less than a week away and President Obama just visited the state yesterday to rally support for the Democratic candidate, Creigh Deeds.
We made history when we won Virginia last year, and we did it by talking to people one at a time and bringing new voters into the process. But to really change the way democracy is done in this country, we have to ensure what we started continues to grow. And right now, that means we've got to make sure those new voters we reached stay engaged.
To make sure this movement keeps growing, we've got to follow up. This Saturday, we'll be kicking off our final push straight through Election Day to talk to voters and make sure they know when and where to vote. I need you to come to Virginia in the final four days of this election to build support for Creigh Deeds and turn out voters.
Creigh Deeds's opponent, Bob McDonnell, is offering up the same divisive, cynical politics and failed policies that we fought so hard to put an end to. His record shows a history of backwards views on women's rights, and he's offering the same policies that are to blame for the problems we face. We've got to show that this kind of politics has no place in Virginia or anywhere in the country.
We worked too hard last year to bring new voters into the political process, and we've got to make sure they keep making their voices heard.
As a candidate, Creigh Deeds has embraced this movement by speaking directly and honestly to Virginians about the challenges they face. It's up to you to make sure they know about the choice they face in this election.
Come to Virginia and talk to voters in the final stretch:
