“Nothing in life is more liberating than to fight for a cause larger than yourself, something that encompasses you but is not defined by your existence alone.” - Sen. John McCain

Dear @SenJohnMcCain,
At 16, I got to meet my 1st term Sen.
Me: “I’m honored 2 meet u even though I disagree w/you.”
You: “Well, I’m honored 2 represent u even though u disagree w/me."
Even when I worked against u, you were a role model. Just want u to know that. Thank you.
Terrific piece on KY-born @TTChilders. Put him on your turntable and #TurnItUP at your first opportunity ...
