Last night, I sat cross-legged on my bed, biting my fingernails to the core, waiting for the moment to come when Barack Obama would be nationally acknowledged as the next President of the United States. When he was elected, I felt hope. We made history last night. We chose change: we elected the first African-American President of the US. We made a difference for ourselves, and for our children. Yesterday was probably one of the most significant days of my life. I put my future in the hands of a man that I truly believe will change the world, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you for helping make history.

Thank you for the miles you walked, the doors you knocked, the phones you rang, the hard-earned dollars you gave, the spirit you committed to this campaign. Thank you for never wavering, even when the days were dark, the clouds grayed the skies, and the rain poured. Thank you for tuning out the static of the cynics and believing in your power to change this country.
