“Today, I make this sacred pledge to you.βThe defense, protection, and preservation of American democracy will remain, as it has been, the central cause of my presidency.βAmerica, as we begin this election year, we must be clear:βDemocracy is on the ballot.βYour freedom is on the ballot.βYes, we’ll be voting on many issues:βon the freedom to vote and have your vote counted, on the freedom of choice, the freedom to have a fair shot, the freedom from fear.βAnd we’ll debate and disagree. Without democracy, no progress is possible. Think about it. The alternative to democracy is dictatorship – the rule of one, not the rule of βWe The People.β…Democracy means having the freedom to speak your mind, to be who you are, to be who you want to be.βDemocracy is about being able to bring about peaceful change.βDemocracy – democracy is how we’ve opened the doors of opportunity wider and wider with each successive generation, notwithstanding our mistakes.βBut if democracy falls, we’ll lose that freedom.βWe’ll lose the power of “We The People” to shape our destiny.”
