Well I finally finished my class reading and have been able to read the Senator's book and now it makes perfect sense to me, that he would ask to meet my children. He cares. He cares about people and wants to help make sure the world better. He has been moved and changed by so many people who have come into his life. Starting with his work in law school which led him to live, not in the comfortable suburb he grew up in but in Newark public housing. He has given much of himself to those he has served both as volunteer and as elected official. Is he prefect? No, of course not, but he doesn't pretend to be, in fact he is open about mistakes he has made.
He is inspiring and worth us, the people served by Congress, supporting him, even if we don't like in NJ.
Please check out the video I linked above and check out the interaction between him and me. Then read this book.
