Thankful

pacquiao -- When Michelle and I sit down with our family to give thanks today, I want you to know that we'll be especially grateful for folks like you. Everything we have been able to accomplish in the last two years was possible because you have been willing to work for it and organize for it. And every time we face a setback, or when progress doesn't happen as quickly as we would like, we know that you'll be right there with us, ready to fight another day. So I want to thank you -- for everything. I also hope you'll join me in taking a moment to remember that the freedoms and security we enjoy as Americans are protected by the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces. These patriots are willing to lay down their lives in our defense, and each of us owes them and their families a debt of gratitude. Have a wonderful day, and God bless. Barack

Veterans Day

pacquiao -- Veterans Day provides us with the chance to mark the debt of honor we owe to all those who have worn the uniform of the United States. We remember those who gave their lives beneath our flag, in service of our freedom. And with so many still fighting, we owe special thanks to the courageous families of those who serve. Because when our servicemen and women deploy overseas, their loved ones are left to undertake heroic battles of their own at home. The unique challenges they face in support of men and women in uniform allow us all to enjoy the freedoms of our democracy. Every time I have a chance to meet with these families, I'm struck by their strength and their quiet dignity -- they are truly some of the most selfless, courageous people I've met. And today is also a day to acknowledge the sacrifices these brave men and women make every day, and pray for the safe return of those they love. I've felt their calling personally, and I want to encourage Americans across the country to step up and do more for our military families. Take the time to stay informed about the concerns and activities of the families of service members in your community. Let them know you recognize their struggles and appreciate all they do. You can help by finding out the needs of the military families in your community and volunteering, from working with your local school's PTA to hiring a military spouse. Today and every day, I am moved by the personal sacrifices made by service families. And I'm humbled by the patriotism of those they support -- our soldiers and airmen, our sailors and Marines. Today, if you can, please take a moment to offer your gratitude for the families of the veterans and active service members that you know. Or go online to serve.gov to find out how you can serve military families in your area. Sincerely, Michelle Obama

The final stretch

pacquiao -- When Barack got back from a recent campaign swing, he couldn't stop talking about how every supporter he met was fired up. From amazing crowds at his rallies with great candidates like Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer to meeting some of the volunteers who are part of this effort, he couldn't be prouder of what you're doing. And continuing that organizing in these final days -- with person-to-person conversations on doorsteps and on the phone -- is the single most important thing that any of us can do to ensure we're successful at getting out the vote. There are thousands of phone banks and canvasses happening as part of get-out-the-vote efforts through November 2nd to make the difference in tight races across the country -- can you make it out in your area? There are events throughout each day, Saturday through Tuesday. Thousands and thousands of you are out there every day, spreading the word about all we've done together over the last two years -- and how we need folks to vote for Democrats in order to keep moving America forward. And Barack and I need you to keep it up in the final stretch -- please find and RSVP for an event in your area: http://my.democrats.org/GOTVevents Thank you, Michelle Obama

Dig deep, pacquiao

pacquiao -- There's only one way to wake up the morning after an election -- with no regrets. There's only one way to be sure that's how you wake up on November 3rd: giving everything you've got in the last five days. That's why I'm out there day after day, doing exactly what you're doing -- talking to voters. These kinds of conversations are the most effective thing we can do in a campaign -- you know it. I know it. They're how we brought change to this country after years of Republican malarkey. They're how we won the White House. I know what you're doing is working because, when I'm on the road or the President's on the road, the crowds are fired up and ready to go. I'm seeing positive signs everywhere, and millions of our supporters -- including tens of thousands who have never voted before in a midterm election -- are voting early. But we have less than a week left, and we need everyone to dig deep. Because none of us is alone in this work, we are pairing every grassroots donor who gives this week with another individual giving the same amount. All of us want to make an impact in these final five days, and this is a way to double it. Please chip in $3 or more right now. I'd never bet against this movement. You're out there week after week, defying expectations. You knock on doors day after day. You make calls night after night. Someone told me she couldn't believe that Democrats were reaching out to 7 million voters this week, and I told her that she shouldn't be surprised. You don't wait for the moment to come to you, you go out and seize it. Just Tuesday night I was in New York talking with a roomful of volunteers who were making calls and getting out the vote -- and it was a powerful thing to witness. But we can't let up now. There are campaign offices out there that need to add extra phone lines because they're packed with volunteers ready to make calls. There are volunteers ready to go canvass, but they need flyers to go door to door. There are kids on college campuses working to get their classmates to vote, and they need our help, too. I don't want to let any of them down -- not now, not when we're so close. So I need you to join another supporter and commit to this work, together. Please donate $3 or more today: http://my.democrats.org/NoRegrets Thanks for all you do, Joe Biden

pacquiao, are you on Facebook?

pacquiao -- If you're on Facebook, and you want to have a big impact right now on the election, here's how: Click here to use our "Commit to Vote Challenge" Facebook app. With just a few clicks, you can ask any or all of your friends to commit to vote (which studies show is one of the best ways to get them to cast a ballot). You can track your progress, and compete with your friends who are also using the tool. The amazing part is how quickly your actions multiply across the country. Let's say five or 10 of your friends commit. A few of them will pass it on, and their friends will pass it on, and it just grows from there. We're already seeing chains of commitments more than 20 people long, reaching from San Diego to Tampa, via Seattle, Boise, Boston, and New Orleans. You might never guess how many people you'll turn out, or what critical race you'll put over the top -- all with just a few minutes and your Facebook account. So give it a shot: http://my.democrats.org/CommitChallenge Thanks, Natalie Natalie Foster New Media Director P.S. -- If you're not on Facebook, you can commit to vote and spread the word here: http://my.democrats.org/Commit2VoteNow
