From: Barack Obama to Kelli Busey "How this happened"
I'm about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first.
I want you to know that this wasn't fate, and it wasn't an accident. You made this happen.
You organized yourselves block by block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn't easy, you pressed forward.
I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started.
But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place.
Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests.
There's a lot more work to do.
But for right now: Thank you.
Barack
I am crying with joy.
Via Al Jazeera "Barack Obama storms to second term"
Barack Obama has won the US presidential election, defeating his Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
The incumbent president has captured at least 303 electoral votes - more than the majority of 270 required for victory in Tuesday's quadrennial election.
During his victory speech in Chicago, Obama said that "the task of perfecting our union moves forward".
"We are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation," he said. "We know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come."
All I can say is thank god. Thank God for Obama, the man who has directed this country on a progressive path, the man who told the Social Security Department to stop harassing my employer because Ohio refuses to amend trans people's birth certificates, thank god that I can keep this job I have fought so hard for.
Thank god for America.
Across America people have voted DOWN hateful anti LGBT proposals. Across America LGBT progressives and other minorities have made our voices heard!

Tammy Baldwin becomes first Lesbian Senator!
Dear Kelli,
Tonight was a huge victory -- and I can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make it possible.
Through all the polls, all the ads, and, yes, all the fundraising emails, you stood with me -- fighting to level the playing field for Wisconsin workers, force millionaires to pay their fair share to reduce our debt, and reject the influence of special interests in Washington.
I didn’t run for the Senate just to win an election -- I ran to make a difference. And just because the election’s over doesn’t mean I won’t still need you by my side going forward. We have work to do to rebuild our middle class and give the people the voice they deserve in Washington.
But after all you’ve done, you’ve earned a day to celebrate (and a day without new polls, ads, and fundraising emails!). So, I’ll leave you with this: On behalf of everyone at the campaign, and from the bottom of my heart,
THANK YOU for everything.
