Dear Senator Sanders: Like Obama before you, you have clearly inspired young folks to become engaged in the political process and to energize a generation to think boldly about a new way forward. But, as the road to the White House becomes increasingly filled with obstacles, I hope that you will encourage your supporters to turn their attention to putting Hillary in the Oval Office. This is not a capitulation to the status quo, it is an act of patriotism in the face of unspeakable alternatives. You have the power ' use it wisely and unselfishly. Sincerely, Gabrielle Esperdy
