This is so cool! I'm now on a first-name basis with James Taylor!
from my email ...
Scuba,
I've lived through a whole lot of presidents.
Barack Obama is my favorite, by far.
I grew up in rural North Carolina -- and I'm proud of my roots. That's where I learned American values like fairness, equality, and the value of hard work.
Now, I'm not a political scientist or an expert -- just a singer and a citizen. But with only six days left until Election Day, I'm doing everything I can for the only guy in this race who's fighting for communities just like the one I come from.
I need you to join me by making calls to the folks who will decide this election, and make sure they get to the polls. Explain to them how important their vote is, and make sure they know exactly what's at stake.
Use the campaign's call tool right now to make some calls to voters in key battleground states. It's pretty straightforward -- just get started.
President Obama has made our rural communities stronger by standing up for our long tradition of fairness and equality.
He's invested in schools and community colleges, and helped prevent federal student loan interest rates from doubling to help middle-class families pay for college. Under President Obama's leadership, American businesses have created nearly 5.2 million jobs over the past 31 months.
But the work isn't over just yet, and he can't finish what he's started without us.
If we want to keep moving forward, we've got to fight for it. Pick up the phone and start dialing:
