Children Don't Vote But Adults

I'd Like To Transform The System In Very Fundamental Ways, But You've Got To Do That In Every Way That You Can. You Can't Wait For Some Magic Bullet Or Some Magic Politician Or Some Magic Anything To Have That Happen. You Got To Get Out There And Use Your Vote.

Homeless Shelters, Child Hunger, And Child Suffering Have Become Normalized In The Richest Nation On Earth. It's Time To Reset Our Moral Compass And Redefine How We Measure Success.

You Can't Tell Parents To Teach Children The Value Of Work When We Don't Have Jobs And The Jobs We Have Don't Pay A Decent Wage. You Can't Tell Children To Achieve And Then Let Them Go To Broken-down Schools With Teachers Who Don't Care. We Need A Consistency Of Values In Our Public, Corporate, And Private Lives.

I Grew Up In A Very Religious Family And It Is The Motivating Force To Every Thing I Do. I Am Fortunate To Have Had Adults All Around Me Who Really Lived Their Faith, In Helping Other People And Doing The Best You Can Do.

But We Were Never Hopeless And We Never Despaired Because We Had Adults Out There Struggling With Us, Being There For Us, And Buffering Us.
