day.</div> <div> We have you, the best organizers this country has ever seen, who flooded Congress with calls and letters, had millions of conversations with friends and neighbors, went toe-to-toe with the country's most powerful special interests -- and won.</div> <bR> <div> And we have members of Congress who bravely stood with the President, even as right-wing groups have pledged $200 million to defeat them in November's elections.</div> <bR> <div> First, take a moment to celebrate.</div> <div> This is an achievement that will make American lives better and protect our economy for generations to come, and it absolutely wouldn't have happened without you.</div> <bR> <div> Then, <A HREF="http://my.barackobama.com/WSRVictory8?keycode=" TARGET="_top"

taking a lot of heat for defying Wall Street -- and they need to know they have our gratitude.</div> <bR> <div> Organizing for America supporters are signing a note of thanks to Nancy Pelosi, Harry
