It's been one year since Barack Obama was inaugurated as President and in that year we've failed to see the changes that this nation is clamoring for.

Whether or not you support Obama or his agenda, this lack of change has demonstrated the established system in Washington will not work. Why? Watch the latest video from Change Congress founder Lawrence Lessig to learn what's wrong with the current system and how it can be fixed.

We'll need a broad coalition to change the system. Watch the video and share it with your friends and family on Facebook and Twitter. You can also use the form below to spread the word via email. Simply enter their addresses, edit the email as you see fit, and press the 'Send Message' button.

Subject:	How Was Obama's First Year?
Message:	Hey, I just watched a fascinating video explaining President Obama's first year and why it's been so difficult for his administration to bring the change he promised during the campaign. Whether or not you support Obama or his agenda, it's clear that our political system doesn't allow leaders of any party to change the way Washington works and get things done. Take a couple minutes and watch this important video: http://action.change-congress.org/YearOne People of all political views can agree that our country is in need of major change on a number of critical issues. But the current system in Washington makes it virtually impossible to create change on the level our country needs. That's why I've signed up to support Change Congress, an organization dedicated to reforming the way Congress works so that those with money and influence can't continue protecting their own interests at the expense of what's best for all Americans. Watch this video from Change Congress founder Lawrence Lessig, and join me in standing up to Washington's broken system: http://action.change-congress.org/YearOne Thank you.
