Even Michelle Obama wants us to give thanks…

This reminder to “Give thanks” and weigh in about it (on a Presidential website) just came in from Michelle Obama,   appropriately enough  on Thanksgiving Eve.  Mrs. Obama says the President and she are grateful for people like me who have been by their side. (I haven’t done much, really.)  

She wants us to let the White House and Barack know what we are grateful & “thankful” for…  she’s creating a new tradition.

I hope she gets a lot of positive response.  Here’s the e-mail she sent…

(From Michelle Obama)

Friend —

Barack and I have so much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving, and that includes people like you who’ve been by our side, working for change right from the beginning.

Because of your hard work, passion, and dedication, we have accomplished so much over this past year. We’ve continued to create jobs and rebuild our economy. We’ve cut carbon pollution so we can preserve our environment. We’ve witnessed historic victories for equality across the country, all the way to the Supreme Court. And soon, millions of Americans will finally have access to quality, affordable health care — many for the first time.

Before we all celebrate with our personal traditions tomorrow, I want to start a new one — I’m hoping that you’ll take a moment to share what you’re thankful for this year:
