Don’t complain if no one from the campaign has specifically reached out to you to ask you for your support. There is simply no time for that kind of foolishness. You know what you need to do. So, consider this to be your official ask. Michelle Obama is asking you – no, I’m telling y’all – to do something. Because…
Crowd: Do something! Do something! Do something! Do something! Do something! Do something! Do something! Do something! Do something!...
