"We want you to help us get folks inspired and get them trained on how to keep spreading the word."  Obama also talks about the hardships many endured to give "every American from every background and walk of life the right to vote," and says, "We want to honor their legacy and continue their work to ensure that every eligible American cast their vote — work that is far from finished."
