So yes, I can still campaign. Not as freely as in the past, but I don’t intend to be intimidated by those who threaten to kill me. And I see that in every event where there is a threat to one’s core interests, national interests, people send their young men and women to give their lives. America sends their young men and women to Afghanistan where they risk death. No one says don’t send our boys because somebody may kill you. So where there is a cause that is larger than oneself, one has to take the risks.
