From the very beginning of the campaign, My.BarackObama.com has been the online hub for grassroots supporters across the country, providing them with tools to effectively organize in their communities. Over the past 19 months, MyBO has evolved into an active community of more than a million users.
Many of you know MyBO well by now, but for those of you who've yet to try it, we’ve created a brief tutorial to help you make the most of MyBO:
With MyBO, you can find a local Obama group and connect with other supporters in your community. There are over 20,000 active groups, with local groups in every part of the country. In addition to communicating with other members online, you can find or create events to help organize offline.
Through MyBO, you can also contact voters in your neighborhood to help build support for Barack. The MyBO Neighbor to Neighbor tool provides you with a personalized list of voters to contact, as well as a list of addresses, a script, fliers, and even a map of your canvass route. You can also use Neighbor to Neighbor to make phone calls to key voters in battleground states.
MyBO will help you set up your own personal fundraising page to help raise contributions to the Obama campaign. You can set your own fundraising goal and send invitations to your friends and family to help out.And finally, you can create a blog to share your personal experiences on the campaign with friends, family, and other supporters. In these final 45 days, in what will no doubt be a close election, it will be ordinary people working within their own communities that will make the difference. Tools like MyBO and Neighbor to Neighbor have made it easier than ever to get involved, no matter where you are.
