Dear MoveOn member,
It's Election Day! The race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is very competitive, and today's vote in Virginia could be pivotal in determining the Democratic nominee.
Someone's going to wake up tomorrow morning and kick themselves for missing their chance to vote. We want to make sure it isn't you.
So, do you have a plan to vote? Ask yourself: Do I know what time I'm going to vote? Do I have a ride? Every vote will count big time, so also think about which friends and family members you can get to go with you.
You can find out where to vote by clicking here:

And when you're thinking about what's at stake today, consider this email from a fellow MoveOn member—one of 500,000 person-to-person endorsement emails (wow!) sent in the last week during our Obama Endorse-O-Thon:
Hey Family, Friends, and Pals,
I know I don't usually write to you about politics, but I feel so strongly about this, I just had to write. You all know I have over 35 years of experience working on women's issues, but I've never felt so strongly about any one candidate in my entire life.
Barack Obama is inspiring so many people, including young people, to get involved in politics and to think about big ideas. While I'm impressed with Hillary Clinton's management style, I'm actually MOVED by Barack Obama's leadership style. And I trust him. Even Republicans I know listen to Obama speak about progressive ideas and say, "Wow, I like him."
Millions of people are going to the polls to pick our Democratic nominee and I hope you'll join me in voting for Obama.
–Gayle
If you're still on the fence, considering joining Gayle and voting for Barack Obama, who MoveOn members endorsed with a 70% to 30% vote. And if you're supporting Obama, now's the time to send your own personal endorsement email to friends and family. You can join our Obama Endorse-O-Thon by clicking here:

This is one of those moments in our democracy when ordinary folks like us can band together to create incredible change. Thanks for all you do as we use our vote to change our country together.
