Just received this postcard from Martin O'Malley

My wife said it brought a tear to her eye. I can tell you that I felt the same.

Dear __________,

In a political year that was often dark and turbulent, you gave me the ability to fight for the country we carry in our hearts.

From day one, you and I understood that this was a tough fight against long odds. I hope -- notwithstanding the disappointment -- you take some satisfaction in knowing that we gave it our very best. And on important issues like climate change, immigration reform, economic justice, cities, criminal justice reform, comprehensive gun safety, compassion to refugees, and many others -- we did, in fact, lead and drive the debate.

None of this would have been possible without your generosity. Thank you for being my friend, and thank you for allowing me -- in the course of this tough fight -- to reflect the goodness, the integrity, and the courage of the people of the United States.

Sincerely,

Martin O'Malley

Yep, we are going to send a small contribution his way. Even though he didn't "win," his presence in the race gave us more than he will ever know.
