Μichelle Obama:Will you sign Barack's birthday card?

 

Believe it or not, Barack’s 65th birthday is coming up. One of my favorite annual traditions is sharing a special birthday card with him, signed by friends and well-wishers from across The Obama Foundation community. This year, it feels extra special because we just opened the Obama Presidential Center. I know just how much my husband cherishes reading all the thoughtful notes from people like you, and during this special year, he’ll especially appreciate seeing your name. Please, take a few moments and sign Barack’s birthday card. He will be so grateful! Sign the card This is a milestone birthday in a year that marks another milestone we’ve been working toward for a long time: the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. From the beginning, Barack and I knew we didn’t want this to be a monument to the past, but a beacon of hope for the future. Now open on the South Side, it’s a place where people from all walks of life can come together, find their voice, and discover their power to create change in their own communities. It’s a place that reflects the same spirit that first inspired Barack and brought him to the South Side all those years ago—the same spirit that, generation after generation, has moved this country forward, too. Hope. That’s why this birthday feels different. It’s not just about celebrating Barack (though he certainly deserves it). It’s about promoting the values that have always made this country so extraordinary—and inviting others to be part of the work that’s still ahead. Your support in this pivotal moment for The Obama Foundation is particularly meaningful. So I hope you’ll join us in celebrating this special birthday by adding a note, or just your signature, to Barack’s birthday card. Your message will mean more than you know as we celebrate this milestone and look ahead to all that’s still to come. – Michelle Sign the card The Obama Presidential Center | 6001 S.
