Can I have your help on this?

Friend -- We are the only advanced country in the world that does not guarantee paid sick leave or paid family leave for our workers. And it just doesn't make any sense. We've made tremendous progress in making quality, affordable health care accessible for more than 17 million previously-uninsured Americans. But as it stands, workers without paid sick leave are forced to show up to work while battling illness, lengthening their recovery time and possibly spreading it to others. And new parents without paid family leave are forced to deal with not only the concern of being away from their children, but also the fear of losing their jobs simply for spending time at home. It's not right. Folks shouldn't have to choose between family and work when there's a real emergency. And let me make something clear: This is not just a women's issue. It's a middle-class issue, and it's an American issue. And while I'd love a bipartisan solution with ideas coming from the private sector and both Democrats and Republicans in Congress, I think we need more than wishful thinking here. So I'm calling on folks like you, to make your voices heard to say passing paid family leave and paid sick leave legislation is important -- and then pitch in $10 or whatever you can today to help elect Democrats who want to put American families first.

There's less turnover and, ultimately, those workers are going to be more profitable. This is a good thing, and we've got to do all we can to make sure that the American people have access to these much-needed benefits. Our growing middle class depends on it. Thanks for standing with me on this. We wouldn't be able to move forward without you. Barack Obama
