Please Don't Let Down the Millions Turning Out for You

ear Hillary -

I hope you've had a wonderful 69th birthday today. I didn't send you a card, so I thought I'd post this facebook note instead.

Thank you for running, for offering to serve us for the next four to eight years. This is the time of life most would rather enjoy retirement, the grandkids or a good book. You've chosen to deal with Congress, ISIS and the melting ice caps. So, thanks for that.

This country was born 240 years and four months ago. Only men have run it. Some of them did a good job, a lot of them didn't. And now we are approaching the moment when a man will no longer lead. This will be a good thing. Better yet, that new leader, God and Ohio-willing, will be you.

I hope someone baked you a cake. The rest of us, we're ready to place a lot on your plate. We have no choice. There's so much to be done. Please don't let down the millions turning out for you. They want peace not war, they want you to side with them and not Wall Street. They want you to feel it in your bones that black lives matter and that we are a loving home for immigrants. They know our own police have killed more Americans than ISIS has. They want to be safe but know our biggest threat are the 350 million unregistered guns in our homes. They want paid maternity leave, equal pay for women and debt-free college -- and they want the rich to pay for it, simply by paying the taxes the rich always used to pay. They want the planet to survive and they want an end to these endless elections.

Not too much, right? Happy birthday, Hillary. Have a good sleep tonight. We'll see you tomorrow - just a dozen days left until history is made!

Michael
