It's inexcusable that it takes someone like Jon with a "name" as an advocate to get these essential services passed, but I certainly admire him for it. He could easily have sat back in retirement, but he sees a need and he's passionate about getting it done.

I was fortunate to be in his Daily Show studio audience back in 2008 and he was very kind, took audience questions before the show - and there was a woman to my right who asked about the notes he uses. And he remembered that and made a point of giving them to her after the show.
