I am so sorry, my son.
I tried.
I protested. I brought you with me.
I telephoned. I telephoned again.
I prayed. I pleaded.
And still, they overtook our country, our health care system. They usurped one-sixth of our economy. They federalized the student loan program.
Against the will of the citizens . . .
While you slept upstairs in your tiger pajamas . . .
While we watched, betrayed and tearful.
I just want you to know, we didn't all go quietly.
And we will continue to fight.
