Dear Michael D,

Invite your friends to watch and ask them to join our movement for change:

An overwhelming number of you participated in our Daily Show campaign by inviting your family and friends to support Barack. We received thousands of interesting personal stories from new supporters.
Two young women were selected to join the studio audience and meet Barack in person. One is a longtime supporter, and the other is her best friend from college who only recently took an interest in Senator Obama.
Here's their story:
Alyson West of Atlanta, GA works as a project manager for a non-profit organization, focusing on aiding New Orleans small business owners who lost their livelihoods during Katrina. When she, along with 20,000 other Atlantans, saw Barack speak at Georgia Tech this spring, she was "electrified”:
"It was amazing. I remember thinking, 'He's reaching out to us, he's engaging us differently. This guy is telling the truth in a way that hasn't been told before.' We needed to be shaken like that, to be surprised by him, to be energized, and I felt that in that crowd."
"Barack makes me feel American," Alyson says. "He doesn't make me feel liberal. He doesn't make me feel black. He doesn't make me feel female. He makes me feel American."
Alyson decided to invite her friend Raina to meet Barack at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Alyson and Raina, both huge Daily Show fans, have been best friends since they met at Spelman College in 1995. They still talk every day and spend every Thanksgiving together.
Raina currently works as a Spanish teacher at Dr. Freddie Thomas High School in Rochester, NY and hopes to ask Barack about his thoughts on No Child Left Behind -- a program she feels stifles her ability to teach.
Before going into teaching, Raina spent three years in the foreign service, issuing visas in Monterrey, Mexico, and says that immigration is another topic she looks forward to discussing with Senator Obama.
Follow Alyson and Raina's lead and invite your friends to watch The Daily Show tonight and support Barack Obama:
