"A republic, if you can keep it."

"Be that keeper of the republic that each of us has to be."

"If we don't do that, then, at some point, the history of this nation will be written in the sins of that long, slow, miserable decline into oblivion."

"It's not partisan; it's a group of people that understand the issues and want to work forward to make it better."
