Vice President Biden sent a message to supporters today, announcing more ways to take part in Saturday’s rallies:

The first big rallies of 2012 are taking place this Saturday, and thousands of people are coming together in Ohio and Virginia to support Barack and this campaign.

Even if you can't be there in person, you can still take part.

This is pretty cool: Messages from supporters across the country will be broadcast on the big screen live during the event.

Send your note, and thousands of folks could see it and your name on the screens at the rallies on Saturday.

For the past month or so, I've been out there talking about the stakes in this election.

We've got the right message, the right record, the right guy. We're focused on moving our country forward and building a stronger economy where everyone gets a fair shot. Our opponent wants to take us back to the very same policies that landed us in an economic mess in the first place.

This campaign is heating up, and I know you're ready to hear from Barack.

Don't forget to send a message to be shared with thousands of supporters like you during the rallies.

Thanks for all you do. Hope to see you soon.
