30. I saw an interview with this guy. Incredibly impressive.

May 2017

Heard him talk about the cruelty at the heart of the Anti-Health-Care-Act. Heard him talk about compassion and how the Affordable Care Act - the whole idea of affordable health care - that, yes - we ALL chip in to help underwrite just because it's the right and moral thing for a society to do and it's who we are (and who we SAY we are). I love how he put it: "this is how we take care of one another."

BANISH heartless America. Let's rediscover her heart.

Here's our next generation. Leaders like him can help restore the America we always loved, learned about, and believed in.
