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>
<br>
Thank you, <br>
