Obama: “We knew this would be hard”
That’s the title of a fundraising appeal Barack Obama just sent to his supporters, asking for help immediately “to build up our organization to compete in Nevada, South Carolina, and the 22 states that will hold their contests on February 5th. Unlike the big-ticket, non-public event set for tonight in New York City, this appeal asks for $25 from supporters.
Text of the full letter after the jump.
Friend—
There is something happening in America.
A week ago we were 14 points behind, and no one imagined that we’d accomplish what we did in New Hampshire last night.
There is something happening when Americans who have never participated in politics turn out in numbers we’ve never seen before.
There is something happening when people vote not just for the party they belong to but the hopes they hold in common.
Change is what’s happening in America.
We are ready to take this country in a fundamentally new direction, but we need your help to make it happen.
We are about to enter the most decisive period of the campaign.
We need to act immediately to build up our organization to compete in Nevada, South Carolina, and the 22 states that will hold their contests on February 5th.
Please make a donation of $25 now: https://donate.barackobama.com/yeswecan
We can lead this nation out of a long political darkness.
We can overcome the division and distraction that have clouded Washington.
Because when we challenge ourselves to reach for something better, there’s no problem we can’t solve—no destiny we cannot fulfill.
Thank you,
Barack
