The rule of one, not by 'We the people.'"

On tge cold winter of 1777, General George Washington resigned his position as Commsnder In chief . Washington was at the height of his power and might have stayed for 2,3,4,5 terms, but he died. Our leaders return power to the people. We' re not perfect but we do the best. We look inthe mirror and hopefully never pretend that were something TGAT we're not.
We take charge. With tge helping our people we climb... we build our future. We don't believe America's failing. We believe America's winning.

We are the United Ststes of America-- that's who we are! We're the only nstion that's come out of a crisis stronger than what we were going into that crisis. It was true yesterday.. It's true today. It'll be true tomorrow."
