And that kind of campaign takes time to build.<\/p>\n<p>So even though I&#8217;m focused on the job you elected me to do, and the race may not reach full speed for a year or more, the work of laying the foundation for our campaign must start today.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve always known that lasting change wouldn&#8217;t come quickly or easily. It never does. But as my administration and folks across the country fight to protect the progress we&#8217;ve made &#8212; and make more &#8212; we also need to begin mobilizing for 2012, long before the time comes for me to begin campaigning in earnest.<\/p>\n<p>As we take this step, I&#8217;d like to share a video that features some folks like you who are helping to lead the way on this journey. Please take a moment to watch:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">httpsv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=f-VZLvVF1FQ<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the coming days, supporters like you will begin forging a new organization that we&#8217;ll build together in cities and towns across the country. And I&#8217;ll need you to help shape our plan as we create a campaign that&#8217;s farther reaching, more focused, and more innovative than anything we&#8217;ve built before.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll start by doing something unprecedented: coordinating millions of one-on-one conversations between supporters across every single state, reconnecting old friends, inspiring new ones to join the cause, and readying ourselves for next year&#8217;s fight.<\/p>\n<p>This will be my final campaign, at least as a candidate. But the cause of making a lasting difference for our families, our communities, and our country has never been about one person. And it will succeed only if we work together.<\/p>\n<p>There will be much more to come as the race unfolds. Today, simply let us know you&#8217;re in to help us begin, and then spread the word:<br \/>\n<span class=\"removed_link\"
