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

We have 5 days left to make sure as many people as possible cast their votes for change.

But you'd be surprised how many of your friends and family don't know where to vote in your state, a crucial battleground state.

Take a minute to look up your polling place on our voting website, VoteForChange.com, then forward this email to your friends, family, and neighbors so they can look up theirs, too.

On VoteForChange.com you can find out where to vote and get crucial voting information.

This race is too close for you -- or anyone you know -- not to vote.

And the issues we're facing are too important to keep anyone's voice out of the political process just because they didn't know where to vote.

Can you forward this email to at least five friends, family members, or coworkers and tell them to look up their polling location?

Supporters like you can transform this nation, and I'm counting on your help to make sure every Obama supporter in your state knows where they can cast their vote for change on Election Day.

Thank you for your help,
Jon

Barack just sent out this email...

Dear Friend -

I am so lucky to be married to the woman who delivered that speech last night.

Michelle was electrifying, inspiring, and absolutely magnificent. I get a lot of credit for the speech I gave at the 2004 convention -- but I think she may have me beat.

You have to see it to believe it.

And make sure to forward this email to your friends and family -- they'll want to see it too.

You really don't want to miss this.

And I'm not just saying that because she's my wife -- I truly believe it was the best speech of the campaign so far.
