　　But I'm not too young to care about the nation's security and the way our veterans aretreated.

　　I'm not too young to realize that in order to thrive as a nation, we have to rise abovediscrimination and prejudice.

　　I'm not too young to listen and decide what's best from our future as an American.

　　I'm not too young to want a moderate president who get bipartisan support and unite adivided country.

　　You want that? Really? Is that even possible? Is that possible?

　　So, you're going to have to start listening to us.

　　First time we told you about Erik Weihenmayer.

　　He just accomplished what he called the scariest thing he'd ever done.

　　He kayaked the rapids of the Colorado River. Weihenmayer is blind.

　　He had a guide but that person was in a separate kayak behind him.

　　Because Weihenmayer's life has been a story of taking barriers head on, he's now helpingothers do the same thing.
