John --

The Democratic convention starts today, and my new running mate Joe Biden and I recorded a message about what we all need to do next.

When we started this campaign, very few people thought we would make it this far. 

But we put our faith in the power of ordinary supporters like you coming together and building a movement for change from the bottom up. And that's exactly why we're here. 

I'd like you to watch this special message -- and I have a request.

We have our team, and this week the eyes of the entire country will be on our movement.  Now is the time to take the next step and own a piece of this campaign.

You joined this campaign because you're ready for real change in this country.

Over the next four days, the Democratic convention will define what change means and highlight our differences with John McCain to every voter who's tuning in.

We'll show the change we will be bringing the country on the economy, health care, energy, foreign policy, and the issues that affect all Americans.

But make no mistake about what we're up against.  John McCain has embraced the same old politics of fear, division, and Karl Rove-style attacks -- which makes sense coming from someone who's voted with George Bush literally 95% of the time.

From the very beginning, this campaign has been in your hands. Now more than ever, we're counting on you to see it through.

Barack
