We May Not Have Chosen The Time,

Young People Can Understand, And Must Understand, That We Had Success, We Had Failures, But We Never Gave Up. We Never Gave In. We Never Became Bitter. We Didn't Hate. We Continued To Press On. And That's What We're Saying: There Are Some Ups, There Are Some Downs, And When You're Not Down, You Must Have The Capacity And The Ability To Get Up And Keep Going.

What Sensible People Have Got To Do Is Not Simply Repeal The Affordable Care Act Without Any Alternative, But You've Got To Sit Down And Say It's Ok, What Are The Problems. How Do We Address It? How Do We Move To Universal Health Care? How Do We Lower Prescription Drug Costs? How Do We Make Sure That People Don't Have Outrageous Deductibles? You Just Don't Throw 20 Million People Off Of Health Insurance. You Don't Privatize Medicare.

There Are Hundreds And Thousands Of Young Americans Who Cannot Or Will Not Receive An Education, Because In Order To Get An Education, You Have To Spend Money. Students Come Out Of College And Universities With Unbelievable Debt. It's Not Right, It's Not Fair, And It's Not Just, In A Society Such As Ours. And Those Dollars Are Not Going To The Teachers.

We Have Come A Long Way In America Because Of Martin Luther King, Jr. He Led A Disciplined, Nonviolent Revolution Under The Rule Of Law, A Revolution Of Values, A Revolution Of Ideas. We've Come A Long Way, But We Still Have A Distance To Go Before All Of Our Citizens Embrace The Idea Of A Truly Interracial Democracy, What I Like To Call The Beloved Community, A Nation At Peace With Itself.

You Cannot Be Afraid To Speak Up And Speak Out For What You Believe. You Have To Have Courage, Raw Courage.
