John --

Right now, in my last year in office, I want to look beyond the 
next 12 months and focus in on the challenges we as a nation 
will face in the years and decades ahead. 
 
And John, the progress we make in the next few years is wholly 
dependent on the choices we make now:

We've got to reaffirm our values and commitments and hold them 
against a hard reality -- a reality where we have done so much good, 
but we still see parents struggling to balance doing their jobs and 
taking care of their families, students being saddled with crippling debt, 
and women earning less than men in the workplace -- and see how 
we're measuring up to the legacy of our forebears and the promise 
of future generations. And when we do that, we'll see that we've 
come so far, but we've got so much work left to do together. 
 
Today, if you're ready to make these choices and meet the challenges 
that face us, pitch in $3 or whatever you can to become an official 
State of the Union Donor. Your support will help elect leaders who 
embody all the best this country has to offer and who are ready to make 
the right choices, too:

I want to treat my last year in office just like my first, John, because 
we're just as hungry for change now as we were seven years ago -- and 
the truth is, we've got just as much work to do on all the things that matter 
to hardworking families. I know you feel the same determination I do, and 
share the same sense of urgency. That passion is what's going to see us 
through to an America with real opportunity for all. 
 
Thanks for always being with me. 

Barack Obama
