		My fellow Americans, It's a long-standing tradition for the sitting president of the United States to leave a parting letter in the Oval Office for the American elected to take his or her place. It's a letter meant to share what we know, what we've learned, and what small wisdom may help our successor bear the great responsibility that comes with the highest office in our land, and the leadership of the free world. But before I leave my note for our 45th president, I wanted to say one final thank you for the honor of serving as your 44th. Because all that I've learned in my time in office, I've learned from you. You made me a better President, and you made me a better man. Throughout these eight years, you have been the source of goodness, resilience, and hope from which I've pulled strength. I've seen neighbors and communities take care of each other during the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes. I have mourned with grieving families searching for answers -- and found grace in a Charleston church. I've taken heart from the hope of young graduates and our newest military officers. I've seen our scientists help a paralyzed man regain his sense of touch, and wounded warriors once given up for dead walk again. I've seen Americans whose lives have been saved because they finally have access to medical care, and families whose lives have been changed because their marriages are recognized as equal to our own. I've seen the youngest of children remind us through their actions and through their generosity of our obligations to care for refugees, or work for peace, and, above all, to look out for each other. I've seen you, the American people, in all your decency, determination, good humor, and kindness. And in your daily acts of citizenship, I've seen our future unfolding. All of us, regardless of party, should throw ourselves into that work -- the joyous work of citizenship. Not just when there's an election, not just when our own narrow interest is at stake, but over the full span of a lifetime. I'll be right there with you every step of the way. And when the arc of progress seems slow, remember: America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word 'We.' 'We the People.' 'We shall overcome.' Yes, we can. President Barack Obama P.S. If you'd like to stay connected, you can sign up here to keeping getting updates from me. O Esperanza está chegando...

Yes, we can. President Barack Obama P.S. If you'd like to stay connected, you can sign up here to keeping getting updates from me. Sula -- Here's where we were eight years ago, when President Obama took office: Our economy was rapidly heading toward a second Great Depression, as millions of Americans lost their homes and millions more saw their hard-earned savings vanish. We were losing hundreds of thousands of jobs each month. Families across the country were being denied health coverage because they had previously gotten sick, or had already hit a limit on their care -- or the rapidly rising costs of care simply put it out of reach. Our country's carbon pollution was projected to increase indefinitely. And Americans didn't have the right to marry -- or even serve openly in the military -- just because of who they loved. But it's always been true of the American spirit to rise to meet our challenges. Millions of people were inspired to fight for a better tomorrow -- and this is where we are today: We bounced back from recession and have seen the longest streak of total job growth in U.S. history -- our economy has added 15.8 million private-sector jobs since February 2010. Thanks to Obamacare, 20 million Americans have gained quality, affordable health care, as our country's uninsured rate has fallen to its lowest level ever. We're leading on climate change. President Obama finalized the Clean Power Plan, the first-ever national carbon pollution standards for power plants. And just a few months ago, nearly 200 countries came together to adopt the Paris Climate Agreement, the most ambitious global climate agreement ever created. Our country took a big step forward in the fight for equality for all, as LGBT Americans in all 50 states gained the right to marry who they love. Let that sink in. We've made lasting strides toward a more perfect union. Together, we're capable of making big things happen. But none of these achievements happened by themselves. They took work from people like you, who put in extra hours, had uncomfortable conversations, shared something that mattered, and chipped in whatever you could to make change a reality. Now, more than ever, we can't afford to be cynical or wait on the sidelines. As the last eight years have shown, this work matters -- a lot. We've got to protect the progress we've made, and to keep fighting to make our country as tolerant, optimistic, and inclusive as it can be. It's up to us. So today, take a moment to reflect on what we've achieved together -- and then gear up for the fights ahead.

https://my.barackobama.com/Push-Forward The fight to save Obamacare has had a big two weeks. Last week, Congressional leaders took the first steps to repeal the law -- despite a growing chorus of doctors, patients, hospitals, and ordinary Americans like you and me warning that doing so could result in 30 million people having their health insurance taken away. In response, OFA volunteers, supporters, and partners are turning up the volume in the fight to protect Obamacare and the progress we've made. Here's just a taste of what we've done since Congress opened session on January 3:     -- More than 635,000 people have signed OFA's petition to defend the law that helps so many.      -- This weekend, OFA volunteers and partners held 46 events in 25 states with members of their communities who would be personally hurt by the repeal of Obamacare.     -- In just a few days, more than 15,000 supporters have used our online call tool to urge senators to reconsider this disastrous scheme.      -- Ten thousand OFA supporters like you went to our online letter-to-the-editor tool to make sure their voices were heard in their local papers -- ones that really matter to members of Congress.     -- And we're bringing in full-time organizers to bolster the work of our volunteers. Together, they'll make sure senators know that rushing to repeal -- ripping health insurance away from tens of thousands of their constituents -- won't be taken lightly. We've seen some senators start to hesitate, recognizing the magnitude of disaster repeal would be.  But Congress is moving fast -- we have to keep their feet to the fire. Now. Don't sit this one out. Take the first step -- sign the petition. We know what we'll see next: some kind of phony plan that they'll call a "replacement" but won't be worth the paper it's printed on. It won't cover everyone that Obamacare covers, it will raise costs on people who can afford it the least, and it won't be able to provide the same protections that millions of Americans have now had for nearly seven years. The next few weeks are critical. We'll need your support to keep this fight going strong. Join the fight.  Jack Shapiro Director of Policy and Campaigns Organizing for Action Managing Multiple Priorities, Projects and Deadlines The Managing Multiple Priorities, Projects and Deadlines, organized by the Fred Pryor Seminars & CareerTrack will take place on 16th February 2017 at the Holiday Inn Midtown in New York, United States Of America.
