John,
Trump wants us to feel hopeless and powerless.
But we, the people, are the real power in this country and at this critical moment we represent its last best hope. What we do, or what we fail to do, will determine our future, our fortune, our fate. We cannot be found wanting.
The truth is, we have the power to overcome these challenges. We know this because we’ve overcome them before against much greater odds. Overcoming is what we’re made of, it’s who we are, it’s how we have become the greatest country the world has ever known.
They know this in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where Doug Jones and I just joined over 1,500 people to fight for our country right now, when it matters and where it matters.
How’d we decide on Alabama? When University of Alabama students told me that Donald Trump had invited himself to speak at commencement, trying to steal their big day, and asked if I’d stand with them in solidarity and protest, I had to say yes.
I want to stay on the road, whether it’s hosting town halls in Texas or showing up across the country to stand with those ready to fight for America. No place too “red” to be written off; nowhere too “blue” to be taken for granted. This country is in crisis and we must show up everywhere for everyone.
Thank you,
Beto
