I hear your concerns, and I want you to know Im listening. Our countrys progress has never followed a straight line for every two steps forward, it often feels like we take one step back. But I hope youll remember that the long sweep of America is defined by forward motion, and the course we chart from here depends on no one person alone.Our destiny will be decided the same way it always has been: by all of us; by we, the people: by selfless and engaged citizens who step forward and speak out to guard the values that make us who we are not just when theres an election, but every day.
Our democracy is threatened whenever we take it for granted, and change only happens when people get involved. As long as folks like you keep looking out for others and working to defend Americas promise, Im confident our future will be bright. Please know Michelle and I will continue standing alongside you.

How I crave real, steady, dignified leadership for this country. He is a great man!
