Dear The, I've known President Obama for a long time. How long? This might give you some idea: |  | President Barack Obama with Valerie Jarrett in the Blue Room of the White House before a press conference, Nov. 3, 2010. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza) | One thing about President Obama: he always puts others first. So when there's a chance to do something special for him, I make sure not to miss it. I'd love it if you would join in, too. President Obama's birthday is just a few days away, and we hope you'll help us celebrate. Can we count on you to sign his birthday card by midnight tomorrow? We've had some great birthdays over the years full of celebration, cake, and laughter. But I'll tell you, what President Obama values more than just about anything else is community. So he was touched by how many folks took the time to sign his card or add a note last year. We want to make this year's celebration even more meaningful by having more people than ever sign the card. By signing his card, you're not just sending a birthday wish. You are also showing your support for The Obama Foundation's work to inspire and empower young leaders and changemakers. We're planning to finalize his birthday card by the weekend, and I really hope to see your name, The! Take a minute to sign his card and add a note right now, before you forget. Thank you so much for being a part of this community, and for helping make President Obama's birthday extra special. | |  | Valerie Valerie Jarrett Chief Executive Officer The Obama Foundation | | | |
