Hope is real. from <TWW> Santos open speech

       I wanted to start this journey in the place where it all started for me.

　　Soon, we will be inundated by the polls and the punditry... and the prognostications.

　　All the nonsense that goes with our national political campaigns

　　But none of that matters

　　This is the place that matters

　　Because every day, children walk into this schoolhouse to glimpse their futures

　　To ask for hope, they may not know they need it yet, but they do

　　And I am here to tell you that hope is real

　　In a life of trials, in a world of challenges, hope is real

　　In a country where families go without health care

　　where some go without food some don't even have a home to speak of, hope is real

　　In a time of global chaos and instability where our faiths collide as often as our weapons, hope is real

　　Hope is what gives us the courage to take on our greatest challenges to move forward together

　　We live in cynical times I know that

　　But hope is not up for debate

　　There is such a thing as false science.

　　There's such a thing as false promises

　　I am sure that I'll have my share of false starts in this campaign but there is no such thing as false hope

　　There is only hope

　　And with your help and your hard work and the hopes of good people all across this land

　　I hereby announce my candidacy for president of these United States
