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

This weekend, supporters from Wyoming and Utah drove to Greeley, CO to knock on doors as part of a Drive for Change canvassing trip.

Sky, a volunteer from Denver who helped organize the trip, admired the dedication of his fellow canvassers from out of state, some of whom drove nine hours from Salt Lake City, UT.

Having folks from Wyoming & Utah come to Colorado to help win this battleground state for Senator Obama is personally inspiring.  As a one-time resident of Wyoming, I understand just how conservative the culture can be there. But right now, there is a great opportunity to have our voices heard and make a huge difference in Colorado.

Sky, pictured below talking to a voter, and about 20 other volunteers met at a staging location to get some training before spreading out across Greeley. They knocked on doors, registered some new voters, and helped people with mail in ballots so they can avoid the long lines on Election Day.

Volunteers are needed all across Colorado, and Sky had some words of encouragement to anyone thinking about making a Drive for Change trip.

Folks that are willing to act upon what is in their hearts and do something concrete to support Senator Obama are my heroes. The difference between what could have been and what will be are those people that take action now.

Sign up today to lend Colorado volunteers like Sky some support and help make a difference in the last few weeks of this election.

If you can't make it down to Colorado, sign up to make phone calls sometime between now and the Election through our Neighbor to Neighbor phonebank tool. The information we gain from these calls plays a crucial role in helping field organizers on the ground. Every call, no matter what the outcome, brings us one step closer to our goal.

Barack is reminding Utahns to make sure they're registered to vote before the October 6th deadline.

The last day to register to vote in Utah is next Monday, October 6th.

Are you registered? Are your friends and family?

If you only forward one email to your friends, family, and neighbors today -- make it this one.

Each and every vote in Utah is absolutely crucial to victory on Election Day.

Visit VoteForChange.com, our one-stop voter registration website, and register before the Utah deadline.

Supporters like you have built the biggest grassroots movement in the history of American politics.

But in just 8 days, the time for bringing new voices into the political process will be over.

You need to be certain that you, your friends, and your family are registered by the deadline -- it's a small step that will have a huge impact on our Election Day results.

This election is too important to leave anything to chance. Make sure your voice is heard.

Thanks,

Barack
