In the past, presidential inauguration events have too often focused on wealthy donors and Washington lobbyists.
This year, every American will have a chance to be part of the inauguration.
President-elect Obama and Vice President-elect Biden want you to join
them in celebrating the unity we need to renew America’s promise.
Sign up now to receive more information about inaugural events –
including service projects, parades, whistle-stop rallies, ticketed
events, and ways to get involved in your local community:

Our country is facing great challenges, but we also have an unprecedented opportunity to bring change.
Renewing America’s promise begins with the idea that we rise or fall as
one nation and one people. Barack and Joe hope that people all across
this country will come together around the inauguration and share their
passion for the change we need.
Be the first to receive information about tickets, service opportunities, and local events:

Dear MoveOn member,
Thanks for ordering a free “Victory” sticker. The response to these
stickers has been unlike anything we’ve seen before–more than 3 million
stickers ordered!
More than 1 million stickers have already shipped, and lots of folks have
already received theirs. We expect the rest to ship soon, and all of the
stickers should arrive by the time the holidays roll around.
In the meantime, if you have friends or family who would like a free
sticker, we’ll be offering them for only a few more days, so please tell

On Lady Liberty’s tablet is inscribed “July 4, 1776 in Roman numerals, Day of America’s Independence from Britain: July 4, 1776”, and inscribed upon the base for the statue is an excerpt from Emma Lazarus poem “The New Colossu
s” which reads as follows [excerpt]:
The following partial excerpt from the poem that was written to help raise funds for the Statue of Liberty pedestal:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-lost to me
Emma Lazarus, “The New Colossus,” 1883
Great read to know more about what this great National Symbol represents.
