Newt 2012

"Thank You To All Of Our Supporters"
  1:46 web video from May 1, 2012.

Gingrich: I want to take this opportunity to give you an insider advance notice that on Wednesday I'll be officially suspending the campaign as part of a press event. 

I wanted you to know first because your help was vital.  We had nearly 180,000 people who donated to the campaign.  We had thousands more who worked as volunteers.  We had two and a half million voters, all coming together at a grassroots level to try to fight for a better American future. 

Because of your help and your support we were able to put up a terrific campaign, and I want you to know that Callista and I are both very grateful to everybody across the countryxxpeople who walked up to us and told us they were for us, that we're in their prayers, that they wanted to do everything they could to help.

The issues are the same.  We're still facing the tremendous crisis of our country's future.  A re-election of Barack Obama would be a genuine disaster.  And all of us have an obligation, I think, to do everything we can to defeat Barack Obama.

I want you to know that we're going to continue out there on the road, both Callista and I will be talking, campaigning, making speechesxxdoing everything we can to help defeat Barack Obama.  I hope you'll join us in this historic effort because this is still the most important election in our lifetime. 

But I wanted to thank you personally and let you know that when we do announce officially on Wednesday that we're suspending the campaign, it'll be with great thoughts of those who were with us side by side all these months, and I want you to know that without you, none of this would have been possible.  Thank you, and I look forward to working with you for a better future for America.


Notes: Gingrich appears quite emotional in this video.
