Subject: Stand with Neil Abercrombie

Neil Abercrombie has long been a champion for the people of Hawaii, and I am proud to stand by him as he runs for governor.

I've known Neil for a long time -- he was friends with my parents in school at the University of Hawaii at Manoa -- and there isn't a doubt in my mind that he'll do a great job.

In Congress, Neil fought tirelessly for the environment, military families, and Hawaii jobs. He helped fund the conservation of valuable land on Oahu, introduced the Small Business Credit Card Act, and received the Harry S. Truman Award -- the National Guard Association's highest honor.

I need allies like Neil fighting for change across the country -- please sign up to support his campaign for governor.

During his career in Washington, Neil was known as a true leader, consistently working across the aisle to get things done for Hawaii.

And I understand how important good leadership is for you. Hawaii has special meaning for me, and I want to make sure it gets the governor it deserves.

It's going to be a close race, but with your support, Neil can win.

Please sign up to knock on doors, make calls, or help out at one of his campaign offices to get him to victory on November 2nd:

President Barack Obama
