Dear Friend,

Saturday’s Walk for Change was a beautiful thing.

When I first started as a community organizer, I was lucky if I got five people to show up in a basement with some folding chairs.

On one day, you managed to:

• organize more than 1,000 events in all fifty states
• get more than 10,000 volunteers to go door to door in their neighborhoods; and
• introduce more than 500,000 people to our movement for change

All of these personal stories and conversations add up to more than a political campaign. Together we’re building a movement to make politics mean something again and change this country.

Thank you for being a part of it.

Barack Obama
