I love my country. Some members of my family have been here since the 1600s, others came through Ellis Island. Each of them came to America for freedom and a better life in a country where men were allowed to determine our own destinies. Today I am proud to continue in their path as I try to chart a course myself. This is only made possible by a government which stands for individual liberties and objective truth, not one that merely pays lip service to these ideals in public while eroding liberties for its citizens in private. Censorship, corruption, and intimidation are not the American way; those are the bygone ways of kings. Today I stand with our democratic republic in opposition to those who would turn us back into a constitutional monarchy. Please join me in this opposition. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
