Yes, We Did

.
Thanks to all of those who donated to this worthy effort, whether through this blog, or the BarkObamablog, or on your own.

In the end, the Obama campaign was a monument to grass-roots organizing by regular folks.

The Obama campaign had over three million donors and yesterday over a million people hit the streets to get folks to the polls. There has never been a campaign like this one.

As important as the infrastructure that was built is the message that mobilized: We are one nation. We are a great nation. And we will remain great by finding our common bonds. We seek a more perfect union, to be E Pluribus Unum, and to promote the common welfare. These words are written in the Constitution and on the money in our pocket.

These are the ideas that built this nation, and they are the ideas that will sustain this great nation into the future.

But words are cheap without action, and that is why this campaign was so important, because so many took action to donate, to canvas, to talk to neighbors and coworkers, and to stand for hours in long lines to vote.

Thank you for keeping your eye on the ball, and for not getting deflected by contrived crisis and disinformation.

We are the change we have been waiting for.
