I wanted to take time to say thank you. I felt that this was the right time to do it.
The support from this community has just been tremendous. From the earliest days you have been behind me and offered enthusiastic support throughout my campaign. I believe that this election was special, and one of the “special” it was the “coming of age” of the power of this new medium.
Forums across the web allowed Americans, despite busy lives and tight schedules, to remain an integral part of our civic fabric. We saw in the posts on this site and others like it the sort of discourse that was once conducted in town halls and parlors being molded to the realities of modern life. The web has allowed yet more expression of the ideals and principles so deeply held by Americans. Moreover, in this election, that expression was heard loud and clear by those outside of the blogosphere and the political landscape was altered because of it. I look forward to working with all of you as this community continues to grow and evolve.
Happy New Year as we go forward to effect change, so that we can ensure that the best of holidays are yet to come for the children of America.
I’ll be checking comments here and would love to hear your feedback.
