In addition to our already scheduled program, we're also watching the Massachusetts election results. As you've probably heard, this is going to be a very close race for Ted Kennedy's old Senate seat between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown. Thanks to all the Texas volunteers who have made over 10,000 GOTV calls on behalf of Coakley in the last few days.
We have an exciting program tonight, so bring your friends!

Meet Luke Hayes Texas Director of OFA
Tuesday, May 5
6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Victory Grill
1104 East 11th Street
Austin, TX 78702
RSVP on Facebook
A dozen years ago, a little-known schoolteacher shocked the state's political establishment by winning the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination while driving the state in a little white pickup truck.
Luke Hayes isn't running for office. But like Victor Morales before him, he has been driving around Texas lately in a white pickup as part of a national effort to keep Democrats energized after last year's presidential race.
Hayes, 25, is the recently arrived state director of Organizing for America, a political committee overseen by the Democratic National Committee. He's among directors placed by the DNC in 20 states, ranging from Democrat-leaning bastions such as California to GOP strongholds such as Alaska and Texas, which probably hasn't had anything close to a national political operative assigned to fanning grass-roots support for a Democratic president's policies since at least Lyndon Johnson's era.
The directors have been holding "listening tour" events focused on fueling grass-roots support for the Obama administration. And Hayes is penciled in to host his second Austin stop at 6 p.m. today at the Victory Grill.
Natalie Wyeth, the committee's spokeswoman, said: "We're also asking supporters and people new to the effort for their ideas on how we can best organize around the president's agenda in their community. The 'bottom up' philosophy served us quite well during the campaign."
The whole world will have its eyes on Texas today for this historic presidential debate on the UT-Austin campus.
If you couldn't get a ticket to the actual debate, or if you couldn't afford to attend the TDP's $50 event at the swanky Hyatt Hotel, then you're invited to attend our free debate watch party at Scholz Garten. Team Obama strongly believes everyone should be able to participate in this historic event, so we're not charging any money to attend our debate watch party.
ACTION ITEM Please bring 10 or 20 or 100 copies of the excellent Texas2step PDF(http://www.texansforobama.com/images/texas2step_travis.pdf) to give away. Any extras we will also hand out at the rally. We also need people to bring as many copies as practical to the rally. Texas2Step education is key!
WHEN: 2:00pm - Meet behind the Rec Center
4:30pm - Meet at Scholz Garten
4:45pm - March to the Rec Center
6:30pm - Return to Scholz Garten
7:00pm - Debate Watch Party begins at Scholz Garten

The Obama campaign is revolutionizing grassroots outreach. The campaign smartly put the power in the hands of the people, and Obama supporters are networking with each other to make a difference.
"I have a son who is in Iraq, and I am very displeased with the policies of this administration. Honestly, there wasn't a candidate who inspired me until I really started to pay attention to Obama. After he made his announcement on February 10, I searched online and my.barackobama.com came up. Whoever came up with that Web site was brilliant--the ability to completely network, get in touch with people who are organizing, and be able to set up events yourself.
I posted on the site, and I figured maybe 10 people would show up at the first meeting. Fifty-five did. At the next one, another 200 people came. If it were not for that Web site, this group in Sacramento would just barely be organized. Now we're able to effect change all across the country.
