It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 tothis cause. It grew strength from the young people whorejected the myth of their generatio's apathy; who lefttheir homes and their families for jobs that offeredlittle pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young peoplewho braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knockon the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions ofAmericans who volunteered and organized, and proved thatmore than two centuries later, a government of thepeople, by the people and for the people has notperished from this earth. This is your victory.
I know you did't do this just to win an election, and I know you did't do it for me. You did it because youunderstand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. Foreven as we celebrate tonight, we know the challengesthat tomorrow will bring are the greatest of ourlifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worstfinancial crisis in a century. Even as we stand heretonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up inthe deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan torisk their lives for us. There are mothers and fatherswho will lie awake after their children fall asleep andwonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay theirdoctor's bills, or save enough for college. There is newenergy to harness and new jobs to be created; newschools to build and threats to meet and alliances torepair.
