Thank you for that beautiful post, Mr. Kinzinger! I love Chuck Hubbard. I love him because he proudly stood there and told those people that the person he cared about was afraid. Afraid because of who she loved and cared about. He wasn't going to let that go and I know just how he feels. My daughter and her partner have been together 28+ years. Their bond and their love are as strong today as it was when they first met. I love their strength in the face of the bullying threatening forces that seek to stop their lives together. For me, love is love and that is the end of it. If we cannot do anything else, we must remove this damning desire to feel compelled to tell everyone who they can love, how they can speak, what they can read/write, how they can think, what they can do with their own bodies and how they can believe spiritually. For the majority of Americans, it is absolutely nobody's business about their own personal lives. Politicians need to keep their noses out of peoples' personal lives and govern on matters that are beneficial to ALL Americans. Thank you again, Mr. Kinzinger!
Thank you for this. As a member of the community defended with such heartfelt conviction by Chuck Hubbard, I am given hope for the morning. Hope tempered by the appointment of Steven Miller who embodies the hate and divisiveness Mr. Hubbard and I oppose. Please address in an upcoming post how the good people in Congress can limit, restrain, contain those forces embodied by Steven Miller and his cohort.
Yes, please! We need to know how Congress can counter the evil of Steven Miller and DJT! I guess we can let our representatives know what we expect; but I think they understand that after the Blue Tsunami!
I'm not just tearing up, I'm crying...! That was so unexpectedly profound, watching him speak so clearly and with so much integrity about the most important reasons to brave the slog of politics. Thank you for reminding me that people of morality and character do still enter politics.
I love Leo. Had a chance to hear him speak (in Denver) years ago. Took my mom to the event. I have a plaque of his saying, “When you get to the end of your rope—-tie a knot in it AND SWING!”
Actually you said two positively good news. I love our country is stepping up for what matters. But I congratulate you for having more people sign up for your Substack. We need both!
Adam, thank YOU for being authentic. We have family and friends, the best people ever, members of that community and the words of his daughter could easily have been theirs. Thank you for putting this out there. It brought tears to my eyes. I shared it with family members who will be also grateful for you sharing this. It’s a a perfect Sunday morning, (gospel message, if you will) good news message! Have a wonderful day!!
That is the BEST news I've read today. I just Love hearing about the 'right people' winning for the 'Right Reasons'!!!! I hope Americans can keep doing this. When the majority 'thrive', the country itself thrives.
A lot of daughters, sons and their jobs! We all need heroes like this! And thank you Adam for finding and reporting on these people and their true stories! The more genuine, caring, leaders we have the more Hope we have!!!
Dedicated people committed to what is good in this country and trying to develop policies that help real people in meaningful ways. What a concept! Adam, I think you captured what government of the people, by the people, and for the people still means!
Love the good news for today.

I don't just like this, I love this. Thank you.
And thank you, Peggy. That's one of the things I love about this Substack: there are so many good people on it.
I think it starts at the top.
I agree with you wholeheartedly!
What a wonderful way to start my Sunday.

Really love your purpose - that purpose for good won seats this election. Thank you Adam for highlighting that.
Adam needs to jump back in! Love his ethics and style.
I have hope again. I love what has happened. We all have a lot of work to do, but I believe we can have our beloved country back again.
Same!
Choose the way of life.
Choose the way of love.
Choose the way of caring.
Choose the way of hope.
Choose the way of trusting.
Choose the way of goodness.
It’s up to you.

You are right Adam. We need people who go into politics for the right reasons.
Thank you, Adam! A great way to start the day. And thank you for helping to keep our sanity during the past two years!
That is the BEST news I've read today. I just Love hearing about the 'right people' winning for the 'Right Reasons'!!!! I hope Americans can keep doing this. When the majority 'thrive', the country itself thrives.
Love his story. I hope he saves lots of daughters jobs

Dedicated people committed to what is good in this country and trying to develop policies that help real people in meaningful ways. What a concept! Adam, I think you captured what government of the people, by the people, and for the people still means!
