Tom,

*"President Obama,
**can you please give us the Internet?"*

Free Press has created an amazing new video with exclusive footage that we
hope you'll share with your members. As the president and Congress decide
how to invest in high-speed Internet buildout, millions of Americans still
struggle on the wrong side of the digital divide.

Last week, we spoke to children in Washington, D.C., who have a message for
President Obama: *"We need Internet access."
*
*Help their message get heard by embedding and linking to this video on your
site, and forwarding it to your members and allies.*

As I've mentioned in previous calls, we're documenting the digital divide
across the country, and this D.C. video is part of a series on this story.
I'll keep you all posted as we roll them out, and as we work on
InternetforEveryone.org together.

Thanks for all that you do.

Best,

P.S. Don't forget to embed or link to the video on your site.
