My father called on Americans to ask what they could do for their country.
Those who answered his call built a movement that transformed our country and brought out the best in our national character.
Barack Obama has followed in that tradition -- dedicating himself to public service as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago and then as a state and U.S. Senator.
Now, Barack is calling on a new generation of leaders to get involved and help transform this country.
The Obama Organizing Fellowship is designed not just to help win this election, but to strengthen our democracy by training dedicated volunteers in communities across the country.Answer the call. Ask what you can do -- for this movement, for our democracy, and for this country.
Apply to be an Obama Organizing Fellow today:
http://my.barackobama.com/fellowsFellows will participate in an intensive and rewarding training program focused on the basic organizing principles at the heart of Barack's campaign.
Then, in June, they will be assigned to a community where they will receive a minimum of six weeks of real world organizing experience that will have a concrete impact on this election.
Organizing is about more than winning votes. It's an opportunity to help people realize the power they have to change their communities, and this country, from the bottom up.Barack's experience on the South Side of Chicago transformed his life, and he wants to share that experience with you.
The application deadline is Thursday, May 15th, so apply now to be an Obama Organizing Fellow:

P.S. -- If you cannot make the commitment required to be an Obama Organizing Fellow, I hope you will pass this message along to someone you know who might be interested.
