Gordon Brown’s election day email

The following email was sent to Labour supporters an hour ago:

First – a personal thank you from me. I could not have asked for a better team of people working with me in this election than our hundreds of thousands of supporters who have been doing their bit for Labour all day every day.

This has been a word of mouth election – where people like you have been making the case for Labour on the doorsteps, on the school gate, in your workplaces and online.

And today we need one final push – can you spare us one hour to knock on doors for Labour today?

During this campaign, you have knocked on millions of doors, delivered tens of millions of leaflets, donated hundreds of thousands of pounds and spread our message far and wide online.

And now with every poll telling us that there are still more undecided voters than ever before – you can still make a difference, by speaking to these people today.

Tell them about our proud record – that we are fighting to protect.

Tell them about the Tory risk – that we are fighting to prevent.

And tell them about our plans for the future – that we are fighting to deliver.

Can you spare an hour to make the case for Labour on the doorsteps today?

With all my resolve I pledge that I will always fight for the people of this country – I will secure the recovery, never put their livelihood at risk, and always always always fight for their future.

And thank you again for everything you have done and will do for Labour during this campaign.

Now let’s get going

Gordon
