Dear Readers,

I want to share a very special video with you that shows a side of Barack
Obama few outside the campaign have seen.

A few days after he became the presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack spoke
to campaign staff and volunteers at our headquarters in Chicago.

He shared his personal thoughts about what we had accomplished and outlined
the challenging road ahead.

We were all so moved by what Barack had to say that I knew we had to share
it with all of you:

In just a few minutes, Barack expressed what this campaign is all about. 
He reminded us of the challenges we face — and that our fellow Americans
are counting on our success.

That’s a message that everyone who believes in this campaign should hear.

And now that we have declared our independence from a broken campaign finance
system, what Barack said about building a national movement for change is
more important than ever.

The consequences of allowing John McCain to continue George Bush’s failed
policies are too great — we all need to take action now.
