And as soon as we did, we heard from so many people around the country, people we know and have worked with, people we don't know, some people that I have campaigned against.
And I would like to believe that shows that for most people, there is a line, there is a boundary.
And that most people are hungry for a different, better public life in this country.
That whatever disagreements we're always going to have about taxes or health care or whatever, that certain things we can agree on about what we want life, including public life, to be like.
Because this kind of thing cannot be the cost of committing to public service or public life in America.
Yeah.
I mean, we still don't know exactly what impact the experience will have had on them, how much they're going to remember of it.
But I try to remember also that they will grow up and read about all this, hear about all this and learn about all this.
The best we can do is both to prepare them for the world as it is that they are growing up and growing into, but also change it.
It's not too late to be at work changing the way things work in this country.
Not that I can fix it all by the time they're 15 or by the time they're 50, but we got to be working on that day in, day out.
And I just, I'm so sure that it doesn't have to be this way and that they can inherit a way of doing things in this country that's better than what we're putting up with right now.
You know, years ago, after my presidential campaign, we started an organization called Win the Era.
And that organization is still going.
And the reason that we called it that is, you know, every time I'm involved in an election, I care deeply about winning the election, just like I care about winning the elections in Iowa and Nebraska that I was involved with the last couple of days.
But you need to win an election in order to secure an era, in order to make things better for that long haul.
And I think that we need that kind of thinking right now.
I think the 250th is a great opportunity to step back and actually think about what it's going to be like by the time of the 300th.
I know that might sound a little crazy, but certainly expect that my children will be celebrating the 300th with some luck.
I might be there to see it too.
