Here is the majority of the email. I had to take out the graphics to make it post.
One of the things I'm most proud of about our campaign is not the amount of money we've raised, but the number of people giving it.
As of this afternoon (Feb. 7th), more then 300,000 people have given in 2008 alone, taking ownership of this campaign by making a donation of whatever they can afford.
This has never happened before. No one has ever built a campaign involving so many Americans as true stakeholders.
It speaks volumes about the kind of campaign we're running, but also about how we want politics to be.
So many of us have been waiting so long for the time when we could finally expect more from our politics, when we could give more of ourselves and feel truly invested in something bigger than a particular candidate or cause.
This is it. We are the ones we have been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
...So many people said we would never get here.
But we're proving every day that ordinary people can still accomplish extraordinary things.
Thank you,
Barack

I really enjoyed reading this post. Since I am an Obama supporter as well, I am always interested in what he has to say. Unaware of this information put forth by Barack, I was glad to see that his campaign is actually making a difference. It also shows that he does not just care about the money, but the people who are in turn giving it to support his run for presidency. I hope you keep up to date blogs about him, because I will be sure to keep reading your posts, since we share the same points of view. Well done, especially since I believe that this election is one of the most important ones.
