"Progress in our nation happens when everyday Americans get involved and come together to chart our country's course. It's that uniquely American character-enhanced by a rich diversity of beliefs and a deep reservoir of ideas-that has always propelled us forward. As long as citizens of every party, every background, and every walk of life continue speaking out on the issues that matter to them and working toward the future we know is possible, our best days will always lie ahead . . . You have my very best" - Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States. Dated October 5, 2017.
