Will you help get this message to President Obama?

I was greatly encouraged by President Obama's focus on strengthening the American Dream in this week's State of the Union address. It inspired me to make sure we find a way to get a brief message to the President in response. Many of you, EARN's supporters, have ties to the White House -- so I hope you'll pass this message along to anyone who can help President Obama learn directly about EARN's work restoring integrity and opportunity ot the American Dream.

Here are the 3 things we want to tell the President:

1. EARN is here to help with your call for all Americans to walk side by side as we restore our most cherished values. For a decade, EARN has walked with thousands of hardworking families who strive for -- and achieve -- the American Dream. We want to be your partner as you inspire the nation to reclaim opportunity and fairness.

2. EARN has helped thousands of hardworking families save millions of dollars to invest in their American Dreams. We have a vision of what this country would be like if all hardworking people had the opportunity to move ahead like this. We'd like to share our vision with you.
 

3. We hope you will consider inviting 8th grader Ricardo and his father to be your guests at next year's State of the Union. They embody the vision, determination, and optimism that the U.S. will need if we're to be the country you called upon us to be. You can meet Ricardo in just 90 seconds at www.earn.org/ricardo.

Can you help us get this message to the President? Of course, we're reaching out directly to our Washington contacts, too. Together, we can do this! 

Until next time,

Ben Mangan
President & CEO, EARN
