For every single mom, who feels heartbroken when she has to explain to her kids that she needs to take a second job and won't be home as often; for grandparents, who can't afford the gas to visit their grandchildren anymore; for the mom and dad, who'd never though they'd be on food stamps; for the small business owner, desperately cutting back just to keep the doors open one more month; to all of the thousands of good and decent Americans I've met, who want nothing more than a better chance - a fighting chance; to all of you, I have a simple message: hold on a little longer; a better America begins tonight.
