Dear

We've been working hard to get to this moment. And, here we are -- we can see the finish line.

But, if we want to produce the Democratic victories our nation so urgently needs, you have one critical task left, and that is to get to the polls and vote.

It has been decades since there have been so many close, down-to-the-wire races for the Senate, for the House, and for critical state and local offices. Many of those races are close today because of what you and other members of the johnkerry.com community have done up to this point.

And now, many of those races will be finally decided by what you do in the time between now and the closing of the polls. Please call and email your friends, family and colleagues and ask them to vote on Tuesday. Don't let a single person you know let Tuesday pass without voting.

And there's still time to contact Democratic campaigns in your area to volunteer your time and be part of grassroots efforts to get out the vote.

This is our chance to take the power to lead America out of the Bush Republicans' hands. Winning means raising the minimum wage. Winning means moving towards health care for all, starting with every child in America. Winning means forcing an end to the disastrous war in Iraq, and getting our heroes home.

Winning means firing the incompetents, stopping the corruption, and making America stop being the world's leading denier of global climate change.

Let's get out and do it. You've been amazing all along. You've stood up. Stand up again. Your country is counting on you.

It's on to victory from here.

The expression. "John Kerry.com community," is on the surface, common useage
but on a slightly deeper level, is a mis-use of the concept, community. A
more accurate term would be, network. In order for community-based
politics, community-based education, community-based Human Services and
community-based economic development to work, Society must develop the
concept of community throughout the social system. It is important, in my opinion, that we stay focused on, "What are the necessary and sufficient elements of
Community and how are they best configured?

Waking up to a Democratic Congress John Kerry
Dear Friends,

Today, thanks to you, America is waking up with a new Democratic Congress ready to take office in January. Your leadership as part of the johnkerry.com community helped make this moment possible. A Democratic Congress will restore accountability to Washington and help change a disastrous course in Iraq. The mandate is clear. Together, we helped provide $14 million to more than 260 candidates, committees and progressive causes over the last two years. Nineteen of those candidates received over $100,000 each in donations from our community.

Visit our website now for a complete list of all the candidates we helped in yesterday's exciting races.
There will be lots to talk about and even more to do in the weeks ahead. But, today is a day for you to hold your heads high. Democrats didn't just win some important elections yesterday; we won the opportunity to lead America in a new, more promising direction. And we proved to people all across the nation -- and to ourselves -- that by pulling together and acting with conviction, there is no limit to what we can achieve together. Thank you so much for the personal role you played in this stunning achievement.
John Kerry

P.S. I've tried in this email not to single out individual candidates on a day of great victories all across America. But, I can't let the opportunity pass without thanking you for the special support that you helped us provide to veterans of military service running for office this year. You helped strengthen and sustain the winning campaigns of James Webb, Chris Carney, Tim Walz, and Joe Sestak, to name a few.
