"My Fellow Americans",
"I feel a responsibility to come before you today. There is nothing more important to the people of this country than the Constitution under which we live in this democracy. Our ancestors and our loved ones have fought and died for that Constitution. We cannot take it for granted.
It is unfortunate that we have politicians that are trying to destroy our democracy and are calling for the termination of Articles in our Constitution. Such speech is dangerous to our nation and we cannot be silent under such a threat.
Our Constitution and what it stands for is not simply for Democrats or Republicans. It is for all of us. We are all Americans before we are Democrats or Republicans. Many patriots have given their lives so we can enjoy those rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
Each and every Senator and Congressman, and each and every President, has taken an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Each of us, especially those of us in elected office, have a duty and a responsibility to speak up when our Constitution is threatened with "termination". We cannot remain silent in such a time. It would be dishonorable and un-American to say nothing.
I am requesting that each and every American hold their elected Representatives to the oath that they took when they were sworn into office. This is not a time for any of them to turn away and pretend this is politics as usual.
God Bless the United States of America."
