With just weeks left until Election Day, President Obama will take the stage in Charlotte, N.C., to address the Democratic National Convention. And Augsburg students will be there…in spirit. Come listen to the President's speech and then get ready to get to work.

We have two months to turn out students in a big way to vote for President Obama and Democrats up-and-down the ticket. We've come too far to turn back now.

RSVP here: https://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gpd3yy

We'll see you there! Don't forget to invite a few of your friends. The more Augsburg students that turn out to vote, the better chance POTUS has of being reelected.
