The successor organization to President Obama's presidential campaign -- "Organizing for America" -- launched, with the Democratic National Committee, a grass roots campaign to pass the president's $3.6 trillion budget.

Today the president sent out an email to the 13 million-strong email list compiled during Obama's presidential campaign to drum up support for the president's budget.

David Plouffe's email to supporters:

President Obama recorded a special message for you about the budget he's submitted to Congress and what you can do to help it pass.

Watch the video now and take action to make sure your representatives know you support this new direction.

The budget President Obama has proposed isn't the same old document Washington has come to expect year after year.

Right now, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to finally confront the systemic problems that have held America back for far too long in energy, health care, and education.

But it's up to you to get involved and make it happen. Join a canvass this weekend and talk with everyone you know about the President's plan to secure long-term prosperity for our families.

After watching the President's video, you can also look up your elected representatives and let them know you support this new foundation for economic growth:
