Matt --
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
Right under that was a red "PLEASE DONATE" button. Now it's the same button/image that's been at the bottom of every email I've ever received from the campaign. It's probably a template. All the same, I thought it was tacky. I'm not giving you any more fucking money. You won. WTF. I love you, but that shit was kinda lame.
4. I signed up for Moveon.org at first, in part, because they promised me an Obama button for free. After signing up I got a lot of emails from them. I volunteered for them. The emails came fast and furious in the final week of the campaign - an amazing volume. I unsubscribed on Election Day... The button arrived yesterday. "Vote Obama '08". Thanks guys.
5. I just discovered that Hulu has about a dozen episodes of NOVA! Check it out, nerd.
6. My buddy Matt Cory works for Accoutrements, the company that owns Archie McPhee. Evening Magazine did a story about them. He's the handsome one with the warm laugh.
