84. Al, I bought TWO signed copies of your book, *Giant of the Senate* for holiday gifts...

My first thought was, “oh, great.” But then I realized, wait a second, these gifts will be appreciated even more, just as you are right now.

Thank you so much for the untold hours you spent in the effort to make things better for all Americans. And thank you in particular for pushing back against the non-stop Republican criminality.

And Al, you will always be (no matter how tongue-in-cheek your book title may be) a true Giant of the Senate. Please keep fighting for us, in whatever you do!
