"Before I Speak Tonight"

Here is a transcript of a message left by Barack Obama as he headed for his 24-Jan-2012 "State of the Union Address" to all his campaign contributors, I assume. How cool is that?


"Luis,

I'm heading to Capitol Hill soon to deliver my third State of the Union address.

Before I go, I want to say thanks for everything you're doing.

Tonight, we set the tone for the year ahead. I'm going to lay out in concrete terms the path we need to take as a country if we want an economy that works for everyone and rewards hard work and responsibility.

Those are values that brought millions of people into this movement, and they remain the core values that unite us and shape our agenda for 2012 and beyond.

But I wouldn't be able to speak to them without your continued support. I'm glad to know you'll be standing with me up there.

Thanks, and I hope you can tune in tonight.

Barack"
