Our ground game was the decisive factor in this campaign. It was you -- your neighborhood teams, canvasses, phone banks, and your donations that helped give our operation the resources it needed -- that changed the face of American politics and gave President Barack Obama a new term in office.

But our work isn't over. We didn't do all this just to win a campaign. We have more progress to make, and there's only one way to do it: together.

Take this short survey on your campaign experience, and share your thoughts on how we all can continue supporting the President in his second term -- and the causes we care about for years to come:
