Dear Friend,
Today we made history. Americans watched as
President Obama was sworn in on the same day we commemorated
eighty-four years since Martin Luther King, Jr. was
born.
Dr. King's life was dedicated to
leading our country towards the promised land--a nation free of the
stinging legacy of bigotry and discrimination.
Without his
work, we could not have celebrated the swearing in of our nation's
first African-American President four years ago. I was
proud to stand on the National Mall as a Co-Chair of President Obama's
campaign in 2008 and to celebrate as he was sworn in on January 20,
2009.
And today, as President Obama was sworn in for his second
term, his inaugural speech reminded us that we must
continue Dr. King's fight to end persecution and to ensure there is
real opportunty and justice for all.
After being in
DC today, I am even more invigorated to return to Los Angeles and keep
building momentum in our campaign. I have been campaigning in every
neighborhood of this city. More than 100 Angelenos joined me at the
Kingdom Day Parade to commemorate Dr. King's legacy of idealism and
action.
Working together, I know that we can move Los Angeles forward. I
have a proven record as a job creator and a problem solver and I can't
wait to get to work as your next mayor.
Today, President Obama echoed Martin Luther King Jr.'s
sense of urgency about the task at hand and about our ability to shape
our own destiny: My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment,
and we will seize it – so long as we seize it together.
On this historic day, let us to seize this moment so that
together we can rebuild our city and our nation. Sign-up today to join our march forward to create
jobs and make government work once again.
Thank you for your support and Happy Martin Luther King Jr.
Day.
Eric
