Help Obama Change America

[We have received the following from One Wisconsin Now and are pleased to pass it along to our readers.]

Dear Friend,

With Congress reconvening next week and progressive values under attack in Washington, what can you do to help?

Click the following to buy a copy of "50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change America" which debuts in bookstores across the country this week:
• Amazon
• Barnes & Noble
• Indiebound (links to independent bookstores in your area)

To help President Obama pass health care reform, enact his other core campaign promises, and move the country forward, we are collecting individual ideas and stories on how to help President Obama change America, for the better:
www.50WaysYouCanHelpObama.com

We are honored that the late Senator Ted Kennedy endorsed 50 Ways:
"In 50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change America, Michael Huttner and Jason Salzman have given us a practical handbook on how every American can do something for our country. This book should be required reading for anyone interested in making a difference and helping President Obama get our nation back on track."

We will provide prizes for many of you who enter your story and/or your ideas on how to change this country including a grand-prize of a trip for two to Honolulu, Hawaii for a private tour of the hospital where President Obama was born, followed by an opportunity to take part in a community service project there on MLK Day of Service, January 18, 2010.

Send us your stories by September 30. The winners will be announced on November 4, 2009 - one year to the day that Obama gave his memorable victory speech in Chicago.

Visit www.50WaysYouCanHelpObama.com or join us on Facebook at Help Obama Change America as we highlight with the national media what people are doing to help take advantage of an appetite for change unlike anything we've seen in our lifetimes.

Sincerely,
Michael Huttner
Founder, ProgressNow
