My message to the F.R.I.E.N.D.S for Obama Network

I am writing this with my eyelids heavy with tears of joy and with sore fingers from texting the words ‘yes we did’ as I celebrated history in the making last night. F.R.I.E.N.D.S, we did it! No, we are doing it! Last night a new journey began, a journey that you joined at our launch about 6 months ago as F.R.I.E.N.D.S for Obama. For your hard work and dedication, I say ‘thank you’.
Senator Obama’s victory (our victory) was not possible without your support, this was not possible without the Change that you Believed in. This was not possible without the Audacity that you had to Hope, to Hope for a better future, to Hope for a better nation.
As we begin this journey, as we work together in the next eight years and beyond to heal this great nation, let us never ever forget the humble beginnings of someone just like you and I who became a community organizer in Chicago and later went on to become the 44th President of the United States. Like him, may you also find empowerment in your Audacity to Hope.
“This victory alone”, Senator Obama said last night, “is not the change we seek; it is only a chance for us to make that change”. F.R.I.E.N.D.S, yesterday, we shouted ‘yes we can’, today, ‘yes we can’ must be met with ‘yes we will’; yes we will work together to transform this great nation!
God bless you, God bless the United States of America!
