I'll see what I can do. I thi=k we have a decent chance of getting it in next Sunday. May depend on what=Sweeney already has planned or how much space he has.

=div>One last edit suggestion from me - I think we should change the last c=ause in the last sentence from "one th=t I hope to be able to serve again" to "one that I hope to have =he honor of serving again."

I think t=e current language could be misconstrued by some to mean something that we=don't intend.

Made a couple more tweaks and included Beau's edit

DRAFT – Dec. 23, 2014
Serving as Delaware’s Attorney General for the last eight years has b=en the greatest honor of my life. I will never be able to thank the people=of Delaware enough for this privilege.

You allowed me to work with the talented men and women in the Delaware Depa=tment of Justice—extraordinary professionals whom I would stack up a=ainst any prosecutors in the United States.

Their track record proves it: tireless work to protect children, get crimin=ls off of our streets, and hold accountable those responsible for the hous=ng crisis. Working with our staff has been a genuine pleasure and their s=ill has allowed us to accomplish a great deal.

My focus from the beginning has been to protect the most vulnerable among u=—and no one is more vulnerable than our children. That’s why =ne of my very first decisions was to create the Child Predator Task Force;=the first unit of its kind in Delaware and one that has become a nationall=-recognized leader. And while it is best known for catching the pediatric=an who’s been called the worst pedophile in the country—Earl B=adley is now serving 14 life sentences plus 164 years—that was just =ne demonstration of the Task Force’s impact.

The Task Force puts dedicated police and prosecutors side by side, focusing=every day on nothing but tracking down predators who seek to harm our chil=ren. In just eight years, we have taken 210 predators out of our neighborh=ods and rescued more than 120 children from abusive situations. For every=high profile case like Bradley or school leaders, there are dozens of othe= convictions--less notorious but just as critical to the children saved.=20

In most cases, children cannot speak for themselves. Only 1 in 10 victimiz=d children will report the abuse, even though 90 percent are being hurt by=someone who claims to care for them. To shine a bright light on child abus= – and to make sure adults understand their legal and moral responsi=ility to speak up for children – we partnered with the Delaware YMCA=and Prevent Child Abuse Delaware to train thousands to spot the signs a ch=ld is being harmed. Those efforts are paying off: calls to the state&rsquo=s Child Abuse Hotline have more than doubled in the past eight years.

Protecting the most vulnerable among us also means giving survivors of dome=tic violence the strong legal protections they need to help rebuild their =ives. And it means speaking up for elderly Delawareans suffering from abus=, neglect, or financial exploitation. I am proud that over the past eight =ears Delaware has made significant strides protecting survivors of domesti= violence and their families. We have strengthened Delaware’s laws t= punish those who take advantage of senior citizens. And we have given law=enforcement important new tools to identify and rescue at-risk seniors.

When I took office in 2007, the economic crisis caused by the collapse of t=e housing market had not yet happened. As the crisis exploded and the effe=ts hit Delaware hard, Delaware homeowners and communities were vulnerable.=Too many lost their home values—and their confidence in our system&m=ash;because of the careless acts of others. The public deserved accountab=lity, so we at DOJ sought to get it.

All over the state, I heard from struggling homeowners who could keep their=homes only if the bank agreed to a mortgage modification. When those homeo=ners tried to call their banks, however, they either couldn’t figure=out which institution owned their mortgage, or were stuck in 1-800-HELL an= couldn’t get anyone to talk to them. We worked with the General Ass=mbly to create the Delaware Mortgage Mediation Program to guarantee homeow=ers what they want and deserve: a chance to sit down, face-to-face, with t=eir banker and have a meaningful conversation about alternatives to forecl=sure.

The housing crisis impacted every part of Delaware, and many of our familie= and communities are still struggling to recover. To help them, our office=secured more than $185 million in fines from financial institutions respon=ible for the crisis. More than $100 million went straight back to those wh= were most harmed: providing financial benefits for Delawareans like mort=age modifications, refinancing for underwater homeowners, and direct payme=ts to foreclosure victims.
Every day in this job I’ve tried to help protect so many who could no= protect themselves. During that time, Delaware has become recognized as a=national leader in the fight to protect our kids, our senior citizens, and=those caught in the housing crisis.

As my time as your Attorney General comes to an end, I feel good about what=we have accomplished. In addition, I know that the important work of the D=J is being passed to an excellent leader, Matt Denn. Matt is uniquely qual=fied to build on the DOJ’s past successes and will launch new, excit=ng endeavors of his own.

Thank you for this tremendous honor. In return, I’ve tried to remain =rue to the core values I believe define public service: honesty, integrity= and doing right by the people I serve.

And on a personal note, the overwhelming support you’ve shown my fami=y over these eight years—particularly when I was overseas—is s=mething we will never forget. Kindness like yours makes Delaware a special=community; one that I hope to be able to serve again.
