I share this introduction to Barack Obama`s Orgainizing for Action (OFA);

Kara J --

Right now, we're facing battles that will define our generation, and we're poised to make more progress than ever before on the issues that matter.

So I'm thrilled about today's launch of Organizing for Action -- the next chapter in this grassroots movement.

Michelle recorded a video to tell you more about the new organization and your central role in it.

The long shot presidential primary campaign we started in 2007 has grown into the biggest grassroots political organization our country has ever seen. You decisively won two general election contests -- but this has always been about more than just winning an election. Together, we've made our communities stronger, we've fought for historic legislation, and we've brought more people than ever before into the political process.

I am in awe of what we've accomplished these past six years, and full of hope when I think about what we can do in the next four.

You'll have questions about exactly what Organizing for Action will look like -- and over the next few months, you will be the ones to come up with many of the answers.

Here's what we do know based on feedback from supporters like you:

First, Organizing for Action will support the legislative agenda that Americans voted for on Election Day. That means making meaningful progress on growing the economy from the middle out, and fighting for issues like immigration reform, climate change, balanced deficit reduction, and reducing gun violence.

Second, OFA will build a lasting movement by empowering the next generation of leaders. This community's skills, talents, and technological advantage will endure and grow.

Third, and perhaps most importantly, you'll organize through Organizing for Action in your neighborhood around the issues you care about. You'll decide what your local chapter of Organizing for Action will work on -- and you'll get the resources you need to be successful.

On Election Day, we won the chance to change our country for the better, and when I'm sworn in on Monday for a second term, I will take an oath to keep working toward that goal. But your work didn't end with your vote -- and it'll be OFA's job to remind every American that the only way we get what we voted for is if everyone keeps on fighting for it.

Watch Michelle's video about how delighted she is by the launch of Organizing for Action, and find out how you can be involved:

I'm so excited to get the chance to keep working with you all to move this country forward.

Thanks,

Barack
