<p>Sarah Jessica Parker is a mom, a philanthropist, an actress, and a business owner&mdash;and she knows exactly what's at stake for women and all Americans in this election.</p>

<p>She's been a huge supporter of President Obama for a long time&mdash;she was calling voters and pitching in however she could in 2008&mdash;and I'm so glad she's back to do it again.</p>

<p>On June 14th, she's hosting a dinner at her home with the President and First Lady.</p>

<p>They're inviting a grassroots supporter like you, and a guest of your choice, to join. Your airfare and accommodations? Covered.</p>

<p><a href="https://my.barackobama.com/SJPDonate-02-20120519-hqb">Pitch in $3 or whatever you can today</a>, and you'll be automatically entered to join President Obama, the First Lady, and Sarah Jessica Parker at Sarah Jessica's home in New York City.</p>

<p>If you're picked, I want to hear all about it.</p>

<p><a href="https://my.barackobama.com/DOA-02-20120518-HQB">Voter registration drives</a>, like the ones we’ll be holding across the country this weekend, are a great reminder of why I do this: to help people become more civically engaged in their communities and in their country.</p>

<p>My advice for when you’re out there registering voters? Start with a simple question: “Is your voter registration up to date at your current address?” People may have moved, or changed their names. It’s important to ask everyone if they need to re-register, too.</p>

<p>And don’t forget to ask people to sign up to volunteer—but only after they’ve completed their voter registration form!</p>

<p><em> Put these organizing tips into action—<a href="https://my.barackobama.com/DOA-03-20120518-HQB">join a voter registration drive</a> near you this weekend.</em></p>
