I’m not sure where in the Constitution it says that corporations are people. We must work to overturn Citizens United - it's the only way to hand our elections back to voters. https://t.co/OUhkSTxZzq — PolitiTweet.org

Let's close the skills gap through the largest investment in apprenticeships and community college this country has ever seen. That's my #BigIdea to support American workers. Find out more here: https://t.co/ojKAKX3lXx" — PolitiTweet.org

4 years ago, hate walked into Mother Emanuel Church and 9 innocent people never walked out- forcing survivors like Polly, family members like Anthony, and loved ones on a path of incomprehensible pain.⁣ ⁣ Today, and everyday, we hold them in our hearts. ⁣ ⁣ #emanuel9 https://t.co/3J47F4CVDe — PolitiTweet.org

It's time we made healthcare a right, not a privilege, in this country. In the same way I led efforts to get 95% of Coloradans insured, I will work as President to get universal healthcare for all Americans. https://t.co/fn84HhdIfZ — PolitiTweet.org

By keeping alive the spirit of Hick, and men like him who fearlessly commit to love, support and empower others, I think we can redefine what it means to be a man—for the better. In fact, I’m certain of it. Happy Father's Day. -John — PolitiTweet.org

But the truth is, there are just as many ways to be a man as there are to be a human being. It is always a choice. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

I don’t think it’s an understatement to say our country needs a new model of masculinity: one that is open, secure, unafraid to be emotional, to nurture, to love and to bring out the best in others. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

Even in his last days of illness, Hick showed so much strength, patience, and grace. Decades later, when as Colorado’s Governor I guided our state through challenges horrifying and humbling—wildfires, flooding, shootings—I thought of my father and rallied. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

As my Mom told me after Hick passed: “You can’t control what life throws at you, but you can control how you respond.” — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

For that reason, I always experience Father’s Day as a mix of emotions: an ache for the years unspent with Hick and the milestones he’ll never know about, mingled with gratitude for the years I’ll spend watching my son grow into the man he’s meant to be. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

There have definitely been times when having Hick by my side, a phone call or (nowadays) a FaceTime away, would have helped me do things better. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

I’ve lived with Hick’s ghost my whole life: as a young man fumbling his way to adulthood, as a grown man transitioning careers and learning to navigate relationships, and—for the last seventeen years—as a father myself. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

He loved fatherhood and life so much that what life had in store for him—and us—was unusually cruel. By the time I was 7, cancer had hollowed out his body. Ten days after my 8th birthday, he died, leaving the family he had built to redefine itself again: this time, without him. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

He fostered curiosity and boldness in his children, taking one child out for dinner when she opened her eyes underwater, celebrating another for beating him in chess. He took endless joy in watching us grow. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

An engineer by trade, he loved taking things apart—often on the living room rug, to my mom’s consternation—and putting them back together. He loved challenges, especially mental ones, and loved asking us to rise to them. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

He called us his tadpoles and his jewels. He loved introducing us to things he loved, like summer storms, fire engines, and The Wizard of Oz. He loved piling all of us in the car and just taking off, letting us navigate for him, embracing the adventure of getting lost together. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

Hick, who had lost his own father young, loved being a father—maybe more than anything. When my sister Deborah and I came along—his two biological children—he was Hick to us, too. He wanted us to feel like one family. And we did. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

From the very start, my father—whom I still miss and yearn for every day—defined fatherhood in his own way. When he married my mother, she was a widow with two children. Rather than claim the name “Dad,” he invited them to call him by his nickname, “Hick”. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

For some, Father’s Day celebrates a relationship that continues to nourish and sustain. For others, it may be a day of pain or anger, perhaps at a father figure who has fallen short in some way. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

I try never to assume what Father’s Day means to people, because, if we’re honest, there are as many ways to be a father as there are to be a human being. — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers and individuals who hold the responsibility of "father" in someone's life. In honor of Father's Day, I am sharing the story of my father -- Hick, as we called him. Read the story here: https://t.co/Kkp4gqpRUO — PolitiTweet.org

As a trained geologist, I'm deeply disturbed by this decision. These committees exist to ensure that the federal gov't is making smart, fact-based decisions -- something this admin has repeatedly shown they are not interested in. It's utter nonsense. https://t.co/C2KUUOMODB — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

Last year, I had the privilege of officiating Rick and Graham's wedding. With all the progress we’ve made, we can’t afford to see it rolled back—least of all by the two Trump appointees now on the Supreme Court. We can never compromise on dignity and equality for all. #Pride https://t.co/KH7j6xkDUC — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

We need to create opportunity where there hasn't been any. That was what I did as a brewer, as Mayor, and as Governor, and it's my promise as President. https://t.co/gJoVarVnwH — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's immigration policy is immoral, ineffective, and un-American. As President, I will continue to fight for sensible immigration reform by leading efforts to protect the Dreamers and reversing Trump's efforts to prevent refugees from receiving asylum in the U.S. https://t.co/wU00snKlfA — PolitiTweet.org

The true greatness of America grew from the innovative collaboration between business, government and what I call “civil society,” — that uniquely American amalgamation between nonprofits, foundations and academia. This is how we will tackle America’s greatest challenges. https://t.co/CCvVvtPCOg — PolitiTweet.org

John Hickenlooper @Hickenlooper

Justice must be different. The policies we pursue to ensure safety and fairness for our citizens need to be applied equally — and people need to feel they are being applied equally — if we are to bring Americans together again. https://t.co/A5fMEt7sTX — PolitiTweet.org
