From a speech I will probably never get to give.

We are Democrats.

We do not simply jump on the latest bandwagon to pass by. We pick up a lonely banner simply because no one else will.

We do not turn away from a fight, even one that we know we will lose.

We are not silent, because we know that we speak for those who have no voice.

We do not rest, because we carry the burden of those too tired to keep fighting.

We do not do what is easy. We do not do what is politically expedient. We do not do what is popular.

We do what is right.

There is a reason we are Democrats. Never forget that.
