[ti:12-14 Weekly Address - Marking the One-Year Anniversary of the Tragic Shooting in Newtown, Connecticut]

[00:00.72]One year ago today, a quiet, peaceful town was shattered by unspeakable violence.
[00:06.83]Six dedicated school workers and 20 beautiful children were taken from our lives forever.
[00:14.14]As parents, as Americans, the news filled us with grief. 
[00:19.64]Newtown is a town like so many of our hometowns. 
[00:23.26]The victims were educators and kids that could have been any of our own. 
[00:27.94]And our hearts were broken for the families that lost a piece of their heart; 
[00:32.14]for the communities changed forever; 
[00:34.89]for the survivors, so young, whose innocence was torn away far too soon.
[00:40.89]But beneath the sadness, we also felt a sense of resolve 
[00:44.32]C that these tragedies must end, 
[00:46.55]and that to end them, we must change.
[00:50.90]From the very beginning, 
[00:52.88]our efforts were led by the parents of Newtown 
[00:54.81]C men and women, impossibly brave, 
[00:57.50]who stepped forward in the hopes that they might spare others their heartbreak. 
[01:02.70]And they were joined by millions of Americans 
[01:05.38]C mothers and fathers; sisters and brothers 
[01:08.37]C who refused to accept these acts of violence as somehow inevitable.
[01:13.80]Over the past year, their voices have sustained us. 
[01:17.11]And their example has inspired us 
[01:19.38]C to be better parents and better neighbors; 
[01:22.60]to give our children everything they need to face the world without fear; 
[01:26.66]to meet our responsibilities not just to our own families, but to our communities. 
[01:31.12]More than the tragedy itself, that’s how Newtown will be remembered.
[01:35.72]And on this anniversary of a day we will never forget, 
[01:38.67]that’s the example we should continue to follow. 
[01:42.30]Because we haven’t yet done enough to make our communities and our country safer. 
[01:47.11]We have to do more to keep dangerous people from getting their hands on a gun so easily. 
[01:52.19]We have to do more to heal troubled minds. 
[01:55.85]We have to do everything we can to protect our children from harm and make them feel loved, 
[02:00.40]and valued, and cared for.
[02:04.45]And as we do, we can’t lose sight of the fact that real change won’t come from Washington. 
[02:09.78]It will come the way it’s always come 
[02:12.26]C from you. From the American people.
[02:15.83]As a nation, we can’t stop every act of violence. 
[02:19.67]We can’t heal every troubled mind. 
[02:22.78]But if we want to live in a country where we can go to work, 
[02:25.50]send our kids to school, 
[02:27.70]and walk our streets free from fear, 
[02:29.64]we have to keep trying. 
[02:32.19]We have to keep caring. 
[02:34.80]We have to treat every child like they’re our child. 
[02:39.31]Like those in Sandy Hook, we must choose love. 
[02:43.89]And together, we must make a change. Thank you.
