Young, new, smart, fiery, and can inspire.

I hope that we hear not only from him, but from a few dozen people LIKE him. I'd love to have a deep roster of new candidates for Congress, Governorships, and for the White House in 2020.

Compare Kennedy's speech to "Nobody dies from lack of access to health care." It is way past time for some visible, eloquent versions of this young man to be speaking up and for their words to be spread around, because there sure is enough crap coming from the other side.
