Before his Election Night speech last night, Barack sent out this message to suppporters:

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don't want you to forget how we did it.

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.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign. 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.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack

One of our best and most inspirational supporters here in Iowa is Lavery.  He's 82 and comes in everyday to make phone calls for at least 3-4 hours.  And the only reason he leaves the office is because his oxygen tank runs low.  He's signed up to volunteer for everyday of GOTV and well as all day on Election Day--- and he will bring extra oxygen tanks so he can stay all day.

How are you helping to get out the vote?

We asked him what was inspiring him to get involved in this election:

"Barack is young, intelligent, with new ideas.  I saw him in Le Claire Park and something told me this is the man I should vote for.

I cannot keep supporting him financially so I needed another way to do it.  I am 82 and retired.  I have done everything I have wanted to do in life.  This campaign has given me new purpose in life.  Also, I can tell people I worked for the President."

There are hundreds of inspiring stories and leaders across the state working for the change we need.  Over the next four days, we are going to be knocking on doors, making phone calls, and helping Iowans find out where they can vote on Tuesday.  Sign up now to help Get Out the Vote.
