If people would like to join an online meeting on this issue, I'm willing to host the party.

But there's still a lot of work to be done in communities all across the country -- including yours. On December 13th and 14th, supporters are coming together to reflect on what we've accomplished and help plan the future of this movement. Many of you have already submitted your feedback through our online survey. Our team in Chicago is reviewing an impressive number of detailed responses, and your input will help guide the future of this grassroots movement. Sign up to host a Change is Coming house meeting and invite your friends, family, and neighbors to attend. You'll receive everything you need to make your meeting a success, including a special DVD our team put together just for these events. Discuss the issues that are most important to you, what you can do to support Barack's agenda, and how you can continue to make an impact in your community. Now is the time to put aside partisanship and politics, find common ground, and work together. Please invite those who might not have been involved in the campaign, even those who might have supported our opponent. The challenges we face demand we be as inclusive as possible. It'll take the whole country working together to get our country back on track. Host a party to celebrate our historic achievement and take the next steps to bring the change our country needs: http://my.barackobama.com/changeiscoming Your continued involvement is crucial to the future of this movement. As Barack said on Election Night, "This victory alone is not the change we seek -- it is only the chance for us to make that change." The grassroots organization you built to win the election will continue to set our country on a new path.
