Represented

 

My kitchen table is your kitchen table -- I will always have a chair for you.

Debra Lekanoff and Alex Ramel are the State Representatives from Washington State's 40th Legislative District, which is where I live.  Liz Lovelett is the State Senator for the 40th Legislative District. They give me hope for the future of the Democratic Party but even more for the future in general.

This morning's view from my porch:

Speaking out to all the generations

"You can be the generation that at a critical moment stood up and reminded us just how precious this experiment in democracy really is, just how powerful it can be when we fight for it, when we believe in it."

He ended the speech, which went just over an hour, by telling them, "I believe in you," and promising he would "be right there with you every step of the way."

In other words, the former president is no longer going to shy away from speaking out.

(Perhaps everyone has listened to this already.  I just finished listening to it and want it here for the record)
