We have made history; we have made progress. We have always led the way, and now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy, and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.

Our democracy depends as much on casting a ballot as lending a hand to a neighbor in need.

We have made history. We have made progress. We have always led the way.

Nobody's going to give you power. You have to take it.
