1/ @SenToomey , it is hard to believe that is has been nearly 40 years since you and I made our first trip to Washington as part of #CloseUp_DC in February 1980, where for a week we would see Washington from the inside.
2/ @SenToomey, on our first night, the keynote address was given by former Congressman Brook Hays (D-AR), who lost his seat in Congress because he chose the right side of history in the battle over integrating Little Rock's Central High School. washingtonpost.com/archive/politiā€¦
3/ @SenToomey As he spoke that night, I remember how proud Congressman Hays was of the fact that President Kennedy said that "If I write a sequel to 'Profiles in Courage,' you will be Chapter One."
