Dear John,
It will take me a long time to integrate the experience of the last year and half of my life.
I ran for president to serve the cause of a healed and restored America. I undertook the task because felt I had the professional skills and life experience to help inspire a new beginning for this country. Establishment politics doesn’t speak to the deeper yearning of the average American, and we must if we’re to rebuild this country. Having seen too much unnecessary hardship – particularly economic hardship – I know we need fundamental change. And along with a wonderful team of advisors, I articulated a platform for how to achieve it.
The presidential campaign trail is a journey like no other.
First and foremost I saw the profound decency and good will of the American people. Those qualities, if harnessed for political purposes, contain the power to guide us through our challenges and deliver us to a new and better chapter in our history. It was an exhilarating experience and the greatest honor of my life to see those qualities on full display, on the faces of people and in kindnesses shown to me all around the country.

Yet I also saw how our system operates. I saw a political and media establishment with seemingly no recognition of its sacred responsibility to facilitate the will of the people. The goal of that system is not democracy, but power; its operatives seek to damage the candidacy of anyone not a part of their club.
I persevered because I felt it was important. And with the incredible support of donors, volunteers and staff, by the final week of the primary campaign season we've received half a million votes.
The people who voted for me agree that humanitarian, not economic principles should order our society...
That democracy demands economic as well as social justice...
That learning to wage peace is as important as knowing how to wage war...
And the will of the people should not be drowned out by the will of an elite and powerful few.
I cannot adequately thank those who supported my campaign. I know in my heart we're a wave in an ocean of decency in this country – a massive sea of untapped goodness that will yet rise up and reach the shores of electoral power. I’ll continue to strive to serve that vision: the emergence of a coalition of decency that will overwhelm the indecencies of our degraded times and return us to our better selves.
May all the blessings I received on this campaign be returned to those who gave them to me, a thousand and a thousand times over. I will never forget the gift that you gave me. Together we planted seeds.
With love and gratitude,

P.S. I hope you enjoy the montage of the campaign we put together, a souvenir of a special time in many of our lives.
To all of you again, my deepest thanks…
Any donation you make today, however small, will help settle the campaign debt and is deeply appreciated.
