Every week throughout this campaign I’m going to make a weekly report about what Beto is doing, or what all of us Michigan volunteers are up to.
Here’s week 1:
.@BetoORourke thank you for today. Shaking your hand and telling you how much of an honor it was to meet you will forever be a highlight of my life. #Beto2020#beto
Beto O’Rourke speaking at a town hall in San Francisco, “We need a new voting rights act so that every single person’s vote counts in this country.” @nbcbayarea
This is new from @BetoORourke — He says as president, he'll sign an executive order requiring every Cabinet secretary to hold a town-hall meeting every month.
If any pro-Beto group is using a generic Students for Beto/Beto for America Twitter propic/cover photo and wants to have one with school/state-specific colors or backgrounds (like mine), hit my DMs up and I'll get back to you tonight with something.
I am honored to run to serve you as President of the United States; and I am grateful to each one of you who will join this campaign and commit yourself in service to this great country of ours.
Like so many of you, Amy and I have decided that at this moment of truth we must give it our all. This moment is our test - the generations that follow ours, the people of the future, are counting on us - and we cannot be found wanting.
The differences between us — where we live, who we love, to whom we pray, how long our families have been in this country, the color of our skin, the party to which we belong — those differences cannot be allowed to define us or divide us now. Let us be Americans first.
If we believe in an economy that works for all, then let us invest in a world class Pre-k through 12 public education system and ensure that we are paying our educators a living wage so that they don’t have to work a second or third job.
This means every one of us is able to afford our prescriptions, see a doctor, take our children to a therapist. No one priced out. No one denied care. No one left behind. Universal, guaranteed, high quality health care must be achieved as quickly and as surely as possible.
If we believe in universal, guaranteed, high quality healthcare - because we see the consequences to our fellow Americans who go without - then let us come together around a solution.
Universal healthcare means everyone gets primary healthcare, mental healthcare — and universal care also means that every woman makes her own decisions about her own body.
For too long in this country, the powerful have maintained their privilege at the expense of the powerless. They have employed fear and division — based on differences in race or ethnicity, geography and faith — to keep us apart, and angry and afraid of one another.
