Happy Thanksgiving

Dear Joe,

Allow me to take this opportunity to wish you a happy Thanksgiving that is rich with all the joy and meaning of the season. While many of us are facing real and serious challenges that may seem insurmountable at times, I believe there is also a growing sense of hope and optimism.

We have much to be thankful for in the greatness of a nation that puts the power of change in our hands; hands that labored with love to help an entire country chart a better course for all.

This Thanksgiving I will be reflecting in amazement on the millions of people like you, who came together to transform a simple expression of hope - "Yes We Can" - into a reality. I join with so many American voices this holiday in expressing my heartfelt gratitude for your contribution - no matter how large or small - that has changed the course of history and confirmed the true promise and spirit of America.

In less than two months we will experience the inauguration of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. We will begin to watch them work with a new Congress forged in your image and elected on your hopes and dreams.

The change we seek will not come instantly or easily. But the miracle of America is our ability to overcome and emerge stronger. We will overcome again.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Michael Cryor
