Inauguration Tickets

Barack Obama will be sworn in as President of the United States of America on January 20th, 2009.

It will be an unprecedented event in the history of our country, and hundreds of thousands of people will come together in Washington, D.C. to share the moment.

Supporters like you made this happen. You know that real change comes from the bottom up, not from the top down, and Barack and Joe want you to join them on this historic day. They want to start off this administration with the people who worked so hard and will continue to fight for change with them.

Between now and January 8th, 10 supporters and their guests will be selected to join the Inaugural activities.

If you make a donation -- in any amount -- to make the Inauguration a success, you and a guest could be flown to Washington, D.C., put up in a hotel, and be there as Barack is sworn in as the 44th President.

Make a donation of $5 or more right now. You and a guest could receive your ticket to history.

Unlike past inaugurations, this year's event will not be paid for by Washington lobbyists or corporations.

This campaign was funded by 4 million ordinary people giving only what they could afford, and Barack and Joe are counting on you again. Help start this administration off right -- independent of the special interest donors who have shaped Washington for too long.

This Inauguration will be open to as many Americans as possible. We'll all come together to celebrate the hope and optimism that define this movement for change.

But you could be one of 10 selected to join us in Washington for all Inaugural events. Any donation you make between now and January 8th counts -- whatever you can afford.

Show your support for a different kind of politics and a different kind of inauguration with a donation of $5 or more today:

The Inauguration will be a once-in-a-lifetime event. I hope you can join us.

Thank you,

Michelle Obama: Happy Holidays

This holiday season, the grassroots movement you helped build can make a big difference for those in need.

I hope you will join me in supporting your favorite charity or contributing to causes that are especially meaningful to me and my family.

While many of us will spend the holidays counting our blessings and sharing dinner with loved ones, millions of people around the country won't be so fortunate. Donating to your local food bank will help provide a holiday meal to people in your community who can't afford one.

Talking with the families of deployed troops was one of the most rewarding experiences I had during the campaign. Giving to Operation USO Care Package is a great way to send members of our military stationed around the world a reminder that someone back home is thinking of them.

This is a time to celebrate our blessings, the new year, and a new era for our country. But it's also a time to come together on behalf of those who need our help.

Do what you can to help today by locating your local food bank and giving your support:

Or send a care package to an American in uniform:

Thank you for all that you do and have a very happy holiday season,

President-elect Barack Obama announced key members of an economic team

Today and yesterday, President-elect Barack Obama announced key members of an economic team tasked with creating jobs, stabilizing the economy, and getting our country back on track.

Barack is bringing together some of the best minds in the country to make swift progress on the economic challenges we face.

Timothy F. Geithner, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, will serve as Secretary of the Treasury. Lawrence H. Summers, former Secretary of the Treasury under President Clinton, will serve as Director of the National Economic Council.

Christina D. Romer will serve as Director of the Council of Economic Advisers, Melody C. Barnes will serve as Director of the Domestic Policy Council, and Heather A. Higginbottom will serve as Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Council.

Peter Orszag, currently Director of the Congressional Budget Office, will serve as Office of Management and Budget Director, and Rob Nabors will serve as Deputy Director.

Barack's economic team has already begun work on a recovery plan, and he'll provide progress updates in the coming weeks. He'll also provide their initial recommendations to the incoming Congress.

You'll be instrumental in generating support to pass legislation that puts America on the road to recovery.

While we can't underestimate the challenge we face, we also can't underestimate the opportunity we have to bring the change our country needs.

Thanks,

David

President Elect Barack Obama Makes History Tonight

President Elect Barack Obama Makes History Tonight
By Ayanna Malone

At the young age of 36, I never thought I would see an African American President in my lifetime. As an elementary school student I discovered how the world worked. Parents and teachers told us we could be anything we wanted to be even the President of the United States of America. Some of us looked at each other and rolled our eyes because we couldn't even get an African American class president elected.

However, last night I saw for the very first time an African American man elected as the next President of the United States of America. And that man was Barack Obama.

In the sea of faces that were gathered in support of President-Elect Barack Obama were African Americans, Caucasian Americans, Asians Americans, Hispanics Americans, and those of Middle Eastern descent in the crowds. And the same tear that was rolling down my cheek was rolling down the cheek of several other ethnic groups. You could see that all Americans wanted change and that was the key to winning this election.

We want a government that will fight for us and that's what most Americans believe they have found in President Elect Barack Obama. Change healthcare and education in this country and to that I say, "Yes we can."

It's time to repair this economy and focus on bringing our troops home. And to that I say again, "Yes we can."

I'm fully aware that change doesn't happen overnight and that we will have to continue to fight for change in this country. But what we now have on our side is a President that wants change too.

So when President Elect Barack Obama spoke of the 106 year old woman and what she has seen in her lifetime and what historical event she witnessed tonight. I say shame on me for not believing, shame on me for not dreaming.

Now when I look into my children's faces and say, "You can be anything you want to be even the President of the United States of America." I know that they know what mommy is saying is the truth.
