Barack: The Battle Ahead

I got an email from Barack Obama!!! Have I fainted yet?! Well, it was forwarded to me.

Subject: The battle ahead

Senator Barack Obama

Dear XXX,

Hillary Clinton was very gracious in offering her support to my campaign over the weekend. I admire her and her supporters for their hard work, courage, and tenacity. And I'm grateful for everything they've done to build our party.

But the battle ahead of us will be unlike anything we've ever faced, and it's going to demand unprecedented focus and resources.

We need to unite as Democrats, not just to defeat John McCain in the general election, but also to support Democratic candidates at every level of office in every part of the country.

Now is the time to come together and build a movement that will ensure a new kind of politics and a new kind of leadership

Democrats are more energized than ever before.

I have seen millions of new voters registering in all 50 states so they can be a part of this party at this historic moment.

I have seen people in unprecedented numbers knocking on doors, making phone calls, and talking to friends and neighbors about the kind of change we're fighting for.

This passion isn't for me or any other candidate. This passion is for change.

People of all ages and backgrounds are ready to restore the fundamental values that unite us as Democrats -- that we owe our children and our great country a better future.

The gains we made in 2006 were a huge step forward, and the leadership of Speaker Pelosi should make all Democrats proud.

In 2008, we have the opportunity to build on this progress, and I'm committed to doing everything I can to elect Democratic candidates up and down the ballot.

But I need your help to make this happen.

Join my campaign, and be a part of this movement to change America:

When we work together, we won't just win the White House -- we'll remake the electoral map and create a governing majority that will transform this country.

I look forward to working with you in the months and years ahead.

Thank you,


Barack Obama

Years. But what is he talking about? It's a movement, though. The passion is for change. Barack's Big Battle
