| Friends -- It took many years of hard work and all of our resources to get here, but Democrats are now in a position to accomplish amazing things for this country. Our successful 50-state field strategy played a pivotal role in this historic election, expanding our reach in states that haven't voted for a Democratic presidential candidate in at least a generation -- including North Carolina, Colorado, and Nebraska. Thanks to dedicated supporters like you, we saw dramatic victories up and down the ballot. With Barack Obama and Joe Biden in the White House, we can overcome many of the tremendous challenges facing America today. But the Democratic National Committee took on considerable debt to make this happen, and we need to get our house in order before we take the next step. Make a donation of $30 or more now to help us pay for these efforts and you'll get a 2008 Victory T-shirt.  When the DNC began building a 50-state organization in 2005, under Chairman Dean's leadership, we took on a significant battle to open new paths to victory. The infrastructure we put in place expanded the electoral map for our party and laid the groundwork for our gains in the House and Senate. In the final few months, we did everything we could -- including taking out substantial loans -- to secure wins in these new battleground states. And it worked. But as we gear up for the day-to-day struggle of bringing real change, we need to recover the resources it took to win. Please make a donation today and get your 2008 Victory T-shirt: https://donate.barackobama.com/victoryshirt This election was a great achievement for the Democratic Party, and I look forward to working with you to change our country. Thanks for your support, Tom  | ||||
