In 2013 there was a poll where they asked young Americans under the age of 35, are you

proud to be an American?

85% said yes.

The same poll taken six months ago, 17% said yes.

We have a whole generation that's lost their pride in being an American citizen and they've

lost hope for their own futures.

And we had a generation in 1776, 20,000 of them died, a huge number, it would be like

a million people today, that give us our Constitution.

And you know, they said to us that every generation must water the tree of liberty with its own

blood if you're going to hold on to this.

So it's not something that I want to do.

I have a really good life and I had a great family that loved me.

I still have a nuclear family that loves me.

And I have a big, big family now too.

But you know, I didn't feel like I had a choice.

I felt like I had to do this, the same reason people left their homes in 1776 to do something

for an idea and I want to keep that idea for my kids.

Well God bless you for that and God bless you, Vivek.
