America Must See This!

04/29/2008

Dear Editor,


Claymation, cute kids, Abraham Lincoln, former Republicans won over by Obama. That's a sneak preview of the 15 finalists we are announcing today in our Obama in 30 Seconds contest—some of the most creative, wonderful Obama videos you'll see all year.

After over 1,000 submissions and a record-shattering 4.7 million votes, these 15 finalists are the cream of a very impressive crop! To check them out—and vote for the People's Choice Award—click here:

Whether you've voted before or haven't watched any ads yet, now's your chance to view the amazing finalists and vote in this final round.
We'll air one ad on national TV, and together these ads will be viewed millions of times on YouTube between now and November. (You can get those YouTube numbers moving by passing your favorites to friends and family, encouraging them to vote. We provide a link with each ad.)

These finalists include the 10 highest rated and 5 most viewed ads from the first round of voting. Our panel of top artists, musicians, film professionals, and progressive heroes will choose one winner from among the 15. And you get to decide which ad gets the Obama in 30 Seconds People's Choice Award!

This contest has shown the type of people-power that will put Barack Obama in the White House. The sense of hope in these ads is palpable. And the fact that so many people would take the time to make them and rate them shows how eager Americans are to share their sense of inspiration with others.

Join in today:

P.S. In January, MoveOn members voted overwhelmingly to endorse Obama. Hundreds of thousands of us voted, and he won with over 70% of the vote. Since then, we've raised money, volunteered, and gotten out the vote for his campaign.
