- GENERATION OBAMA ONE-YEAR UPDATE -

Dear “Generation Obama” –

Ironically, with the Martin Luther King Holiday & Day of Service this Monday
and our One-Year Celebration of President Obama’s Inauguration on Wednesday
it has never been a better time to get involved in making change happen
especially by volunteering or donating toward two critical causes involving
America at home and Haiti abroad. Details below.

In the meantime, we also need your support to re-build our Movement right
now so please complete a survey by Organizing For America so they can get
your feedback on your interests for 2010:
http://my.barackoba ma.com/page/ s/whatsnext2010

Also, please join us for a “*Generation Forty Four” National Roll Out
Call*with Special Guests DNC Chairman
Governor Tim Kaine and Gen44 Honorary Chair Mayor Cory A. Booker at
2:45pm-3:30pm January 21st. Named for our 44th President, Barack Obama, Gen
44 (www.genfortyfour. com / www.facebook. com/Gen44) is the continuation of
the campaign’s “Generation Obama” initiative. *RSVPs are required by 5pm
Tuesday, January 19th to* *Gen44@dnc.org* and conference call details will
be sent to you.

It’s time to get Fired Up and Ready to Go!

Generation Obama-Washington, DC President

*#1 *

**** 1/18 Generation Obama’s “Do 60 to Save 60” Calls for Coakley! ****

*3pm-6pm @ DNC HQ, 6pm-9pm @ Arlington Dem HQ *

*(plus @ Home and @ DNC HQ all weekend)*

*“Help Get-Out-The- Vote by taking 60 Minutes to remind Democratic voters in
Massachusetts they need to protect the Democratic Filibuster-Proof 60-Vote
Majority!”*

On Tuesday, Massachusetts will host a special election to replace Ted
Kennedy in the US Senate and the 60th Democratic Seat is at stake. A new
Suffolk University/7News poll in Massachusetts shows Scott Brown (R) ahead
of Martha Coakley (D), 50%-46% and the race is widely considered a Toss Up.

Due to the extreme partisanship of the GOP that only needs one more senator
to block any further votes on the President’s Agenda, we are at risk of not
just losing an election but losing the opportunity to pass Health Care
Reform (or at the very least will see even further concessions to water down
the legislation) and bills for Job Growth, Climate Change, Financial Reform,
Immigration and more.

This is not just a special election, this is almost as critical as the
presidential election itself and with such-low turnout the work of just one
volunteer can make a tremendous difference in a race that might come down to
just a few hundred votes.

Lets honor Ted Kennedy’s memory and dream of passing health care reform. Can
you make calls for 60 Minutes to help Save 60?

* *

Hopefully you will be enjoying a day-off so you can serve your community by
joining Generation Obama to make calls on Monday to remind voters to go to
the polls on Tuesday! We will also collect donations for the Red Cross or
medical supplies for the Haitian Embassy.

Health Care for America NOW! Internship Opportunity
America’s health care system is in crisis. Nearly 3,000 people (that’s one every 30 seconds) go bankrupt in this country every day because of medical costs. Health Care for America Now (HCAN) is a national grassroots campaign supported by over 1000 organizations representing over 30 million people dedicated to winning quality, affordable health care we all can count on in 2009. We believe that this can only be achieved through the creation of a public health insurance option that will compete with private, for-profit insurance. Our principles are supported by President Obama and over 190 Members of Congress.

Health Care for America Now is seeking interns and volunteers to assist in this historic campaign for the fall. We are looking for organized, enthusiastic individuals to help us push for health care reform in 2009. Volunteers will be involved in many aspects of the campaign from assisting our field department in our 44 state field campaign to helping our legislative and policy department prepare for Congressional briefings and hearings.

Subject: Lesinski Campaign Needs Weekend Political Warriors!
Dear Friends & Acquaintances,
It’s been almost 10 months since the 2008 campaign season ended and I am guessing some of you are rested and getting restless – missing all the fun and action of a political campaign. It’s an off year and there’s only two states holding elections, and who really wants to drive all the way to Jersey??? The 15th district of Virginia is a breezy 90 minutes (or less, I know how some of you drive) from Northern Virginia! Our office is in beautiful downtown Luray.
But wait! There’s more! There is so much to do that is in the 15th district -
Give us a few hours knocking on doors or phone banking and then go see Luray Caverns, the Endless Caverns, any one of a half dozen Civil War battlefields, go antiquing in New Market or Luray, hike the Appalachian trail or drive down the Skyline Drive and have a picnic
John Lesinski is running for the House of Delegates here in Virginia as a centrist democrat. He’s a retired Marine Corps. Colonel and currently works in real estate along the I-81 corridor. The 15th district is made up of Shenandoah, Page and Rappahannock counties and two precincts in Rockingham county. As many of you know, I try to only work for candidates I really believe in and John is a great guy who is willing to do what it takes to win. John will make a great delegate and is very interested in what the local voters are thinking and talking about. He loves canvassing and goes out for about 3 hours every weekday and several hours on the weekends. He’s also been doing well with call time and we are making some good connections state-wide.
I hope you will consider coming down for a Saturday or two this fall to help us out!
For those of you who are unable to come down, or for whom the thought of canvassing or phone banking makes you literally nauseous, I have tons of research that can be done in the comfort of your own home!
And as always, we always accept and appreciate donations in the mail or through ActBlue!
Cheers,
Carrie Ann Alford

Paid Fellowship: Avaaz.org German election campaign
Date: Tues, Aug 11 2009 1:27 pm

Avaaz is running a major German election campaign focused on climate
leadership and green jobs. The election is on Sept 27 and we have
fellowships available for the last 6 weeks. Please forward to anyone you
know who speaks German, but non-German speakers can also apply.
Please do not contact me directly — instead, follow the application process
below.

************ ********* **
Hi there!

The Europe Climate Action Factory of Avaaz.org <http://avaaz. org/> (
www.actionfactories .org) is entering in a new phase and is looking to hire
new fellows! For our German elections campaign we’ll form a group of
campaigners working together in an office. The nature of our work will be to
organise climate change related campaigning actions in the context of the
German election. Also, to run an Obama-style volunteer-oriented field
program to achieve mobilisation of the public and of the candidates.

Please forward this email to everyone you know — and apply now, as the
election is only 7 weeks away and applications will be processed on a
rolling basis!

Application form:
<http://sites. google.com/ a/actionfactorie s.org/www/ Home/fellow- application- phase-ii>
http://www.actionfa ctories.org/ Home/fellow- application- phase-ii

The Avaaz Action Factory team in Berlin seeks 7 fellows to implement an
intensive six-week, non-partisan climate campaign in advance of the German
elections, working closely with our partners Avaaz.org <http://avaaz. org/>,
E3G, Germanwatch, the Climate Pirates, the KlimaAllianz and BUNDjugend, to
help to make sure that whoever forms government after these elections has a
strong climate policy, and that Germany becomes a leader at the UN’s
Copenhagen climate negotiations in December.

*Where:* Avaaz.org Berlin office
*When:* August 18th through October 2nd

*The Fellowship:*
You will work closely with Avaaz’s German Elections campaigner in Berlin, as
part of a very small but ambitous and highly effective team, to create election
campaigns, stunts for media imagery and to apply direct pressure to election
candidates for better climate policies. In the implementation of election
campaigns and actions, engagement and management of local volunteers will be
a priority of your work.

Avaaz’s German Elections campaigner, will identify political opportunities
and political messaging for campaigns, as well as provide election
campaigntraining for fellows.

*You will be:* You’ll need to be team-oriented and energetic, have a
positive attitude, and a willingness to both put forward new ideas and to do
the leg-work necessary to see them implemented quickly. You will be well
organised, and take initiative in driving actions and campaigns forward. You
have a passion for the avoidance of dangerous climate change, a good phone
manner, be full of energy, and be willing to work very hard for these six
weeks. Ideally (but not at all essential) you would have experience in event
planning, election-related politics, and/or volunteer management and a good
knowledge of climate change politics in Germany. We prefer German speakers
but may be willing to take on a limited number of non-German speakers.

*The Importance:* It is less than five months until the world’s leaders are
set to decide our collective future at the UN Climate Summit in
Copenhagenin December, where they will finalise the successor to the
Kyoto
Treaty. The EU is a key player in these negotiations, traditionally the most
progressive of the developed nations, and Germany is a crucial voice within
the EU block. Our work will make the 2009 German elections the ‘Climate
Elections’, and will push the resulting government in October to have
ambitious action at Copenhagen as their top priority.

*Compensation: * Fellows will be paid €2000 for six and a half weeks of
full-time work. Unlike the Action Factory over the summer, fellows will NOT
live in the same location, but instead will live independently and work
together at a central office.

*Office Hours:* We’ll need you full time, at least 40 hours a week, but be
prepared to work outside of a 9-6 Monday-Friday hours, as campaign events
will frequently be held in evenings and on weekends!

*How to Apply:* Please fill out this form
http://www.actionfa ctories.org/ Home/fellow- application- phase-ii and send it
to julius@avaaz. org

*The Closing Date: AUGUST 15th*
