Earlier today, West Virginia Field Director Rachel Sigman sent out the following email:
Right now, thousands of people in West Virginia are thinking seriously about which way they'll vote when they go to the polls on Tuesday.
You can make their decision easy.
The West Virginia primary is coming up on Tuesday, May 13th, and we have an opportunity to secure some of the final available delegates and move a big step closer to the nomination.
We can't do this without your help — and you can make a difference right from your home.
Our team has put together a list of the potential supporters here in West Virginia whom we most need to reach by Tuesday. Your voice could persuade them to cast their votes for Barack — but only if you use our simple online tool right now and give them a call.
We have thousands of potential supporters to reach, and no time to waste — please pick up the phone and start calling for Barack right away.
Barack had a big night on Tuesday because people like you, not just from North Carolina and Indiana but from states near and far, decided to take action, reach out to potential supporters, and build this movement one voter at a time.
You can carry our momentum forward in West Virginia — and with Election Day just four days away, we need your help now more than ever.
Even if you have never made a call for Barack before, you'll be able to make a difference. Simply log in and get started — it's easy!
I hope you'll make a few calls every day between now and Tuesday — start right now.
Thank you,
Rachel

Obama for America
Barack Obama continues to build on the North Carolina primary momentum as more super delegates are endorsing Obama and it's more likely that he will be the democratic nominee.
"Today I announce my endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. I do so after watching these historic campaigns unfold across our country, where hundreds of thousands of people participated as never before. It is clear that Americans want our country back on a course of hope and opportunity."
The New Mexico Independent has just announced that "Laurie Weahkee, New Mexico's newest -- and most coveted -- super delegate, just threw her support behind Obama.
"After the primary elections in Indiana and North Carolina, it is now absolutely clear that Barack Obama will be our nominee," Weahkee, lead organizer for the Native American Voters Alliance, writes in a statement e-mailed to the Independent. She adds, "Obama has proven that he can campaign in a difficult environment and still inspire thousands of new voices to take part in the democratic process."
