  I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I
  wanted to write to you first. <br>
  <br>
  We just made history. <br>
  <br>
  And I don't want you to forget how we did it. <br>
  <br>
  You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you
  knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and
  neighbors about why you believe it's time for change. <br>
  <br>
  I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this
  campaign. <br>
  <br>
  We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in
  touch soon about what comes next. <br>
  <br>
  But I want to be very clear about one thing... <br>
  <br>
  All of this happened because of you. <br>
