With the help of dedicated Americans from our party, every party, and no party at all, I intend to mount that stairway to preach peace for our nation and world.

If you make me your president, I'm going to put the country ahead of the party. I'm going to do what it takes to defend this nation. This nation has been great to me, and that's the only way I know to pay you back.

I will protect democracy with my life.

What my future will not be is active politics in the Liberal Democrat party.

I will not claim I will solve all the world's problems by myself. If I did, I'd have to run as a Republican or a Democrat.

I don't care what party you belong to or what your background is. If you believe we are headed in the wrong direction, and believe there needs to be a check and balance on the President and Congress, then join my campaign.

I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.

I don't care what party you belong to or what your background is. If you believe we are headed in the wrong direction and believe there needs to be a check and balance on the president and Congress, then join my campaign.

Let me say this as your incoming chair of the Democratic national committee: I promise you, my friends, I commit to all Americans, that we will have a party that you can be proud of. We will elect Democrats up and down the ballot.
