Thank you for everything!

	Brenda and I want to thank you from the bottom our hearts for your hard work and for the sacrifices you made to help win the race for the United States Senate.  It was a long road and we could not have won the election without your efforts and support.  We are overwhelmed with gratitude.

	I traveled more than 70,000 miles, revisited each of Missouri's 114 counties and the city of St. Louis and met with thousands of Missourians in this campaign.  My family and I are so very grateful for the many kindnesses that you and the people of Missouri showed us during this race.  

	Sometimes when I go to an event people come up to me and express appreciation for the sacrifices I make.  And those are very encouraging comments.  But what I always think is - thank you.  Thank you for giving your time, your resources and for the sacrifices you make because you want the country to be better.

	I talked a lot in the campaign about the importance of making a difference.  I know I can make a difference for the people of Missouri in the U.S. Senate.  And I pledge to each of you that I am going to do everything I can to keep the faith you have placed in me in the campaign. 

	Each of you has worked very hard for this victory and I thank you again.  God Bless you and your families.

	Warm regards,

	Jim Talent
