We the People...

So here we are.

After what's seemed like an interminable build-up, Election Day is finally just a few short hours away. By this time tomorrow, barring any nightmare scenario coming to fruition, we'll likely know who the next president of the United States is -- which trajectory this country will take from January of 2009 forward. For many, the choice may be simple. But with all we've lived through during the past eight turbulent years -- with everything we know for certain is now at stake not just for America but for the world -- tomorrow's election feels like a uniquely daunting proposition.

Never in most of our lifetimes has so much been riding on one day.

And maybe that's why so many are going into tomorrow feeling as if they're handling a nuclear warhead.

That's what their individual votes feel like: immensely powerful and yet terrifyingly fragile.

They realize that, should they -- should we -- fail, the consequences for this nation could very well be catastrophic.

So it comes down to this: We cannot fail.

Tomorrow, you have the chance to do something mighty -- maybe the mightiest and most patriotic thing you've done in your life to this point. When you go into that voting booth, know that for just a few moments you are the most powerful person on the planet. You're taking a stand; staging a coup; starting a revolution. You are fighting back; telling those who've torn asunder the values and freedoms that America stands for that their time is up; telling those who would use ignorance, fear and cynicism as weapons against their own people that we've had enough.

And make no mistake: Your voice counts more than you could possibly imagine.

It counts because this time it won't do to simply win a victory over the forces of corruption and tyranny.

We need to leave them utterly decimated. We need to send a message.

And tomorrow, you get to do just that.

Tomorrow, you get to create a better tomorrow.

Tomorrow, you get to make history.

Tomorrow, you get to take back your country.

Tomorrow, you get to change the world.

It's all in your hands.
