Thanksgiving Message
Dear Friends:
I hope this message finds you well as we begin the holiday season.
Despite the glum news that seems to blare nonstop on television, radio, and the Internet, we remain a very blessed nation. Even during these difficult economic times, we still have much for which to be thankful.
For one thing, our nation enjoys the peaceful transition of power. In many places around the world, opposition to the government means threats of violence and even death will be leveled against you. Here in the United States, when a party moves from the majority to the minority, it is not threatened by violence and intimidation, and still retains a voice in government.
Additionally, our nation country is blessed with thousands of brave men and women who courageously fight our enemies abroad to keep us safe here at home. Many of them sacrifice their Thanksgiving holiday annually when they are deployed to defend our ideals and interests around the world.
So during this Thanksgiving holiday, let’s keep our focus on the positive, maintain hope for a brighter future, and continue working together to build a more prosperous California. Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours and may God bless you today and always.
Sincerely,
Sen. George Runner
