Mr. Hunter Walker


Washington, D.C.

Dear Hunter:

Thank you for writing. I hear your concerns, and I want you to
know I'm listening.
Our country's progress has never followed a straight line-for
every two steps forward, it often feels like we take one step back. But I
hope you'll remember that the long sweep of America is defined by
forward motion, and the course we chart from here depends on no one
person alone. Rather, our destiny will be decided the same way it always
has been: by all of us; by we, the people; by selfless and engaged citizens
who step forward and speak out to guard the values that make us who we
are-not just when there's an election, but every day.
Our democracy is threatened whenever we take it for granted,
and change only happens when people get involved. As long as folks like
you keep looking out for others and working to defend America's
promise, I'm confident our future will be bright. Please know Michelle
and I will continue standing alongside you, and we wish you the very
best.
Sincerely,
