Friends, I wanted to take a moment to share my gratitude for this team.
I’ve asked a lot of you over the last few months. Your individual contributions helped us to not just meet but exceed our fundraising goals. So thank you for everything you continue to do. This campaign wouldn't be here without your continued support.
It’s not lost on me that some people considered this campaign a long shot, but the power of our grassroots team continues to dispel their doubts, and I’m grateful to have you in my corner, friend.
As a nation, we face momentous decisions about our future.
If we are again at one of history’s turning points, as I believe we are, then we have a choice to make.
We must decide if we’ll take the easy path of our worst instincts and pessimism, or if we will confidently rally together with vigor and optimism.
The United States is the world’s oldest and greatest democracy. It has grown in prosperity and power even as it has matured in its understanding of the rights its founders first articulated, as subsequent generations of founders sharpened those rights and extended them to people long denied them.
Friend, there is still so much more to be done for our nation.
Each of us, with individual talent and spirit and hard work, is called upon to be a founder. Each of us – in obligation to others – is called upon to rebuild the republic. What if each of us were to answer that call?
With immense gratitude,
Michael |
