Barack Obama: “Our Nation only endures because there are patriots who protect it.”

Every president here today, as different as we are, has tried our best to uphold the values that John McCain and Mitt Romney believed in no less than I did.

The essence of Prop. 50 is to say that if you are going to play that game, then we are going to try to counteract that abuse of the system.

While we are non-partisan, we are not value-neutral. We have a point of view.

Your task is not to impose litmus tests.
