Male Announcer: Historians will write about this critical turning point for our nation and how we responded to the dynamic forces changing our world.  We can no longer afford the continuing dysfunction of opposing partisan rancor or the empty rhetoric of the political class.  If America is to survive the challenges of the modern world, we need to heal, we need to be inspired and we need to provide the exceptional spirit that built America.

Never before have we been so closely connected to each other but more divided as a country.  We have created so many boundaries for ourselves by forcing friends and neighbors to pick sides, that we have stifled all civilized and productive debate.  Respect for one another has become the exception, not the rule.

Our government was divised to represent its citizens and to promote the common welfare in pursuit of life, liberty and  happiness.  Instead, we find ourselves drowning in government deception, dependency and debt. 

Our government was designed to reflect the will of its people.  Instead, Washington has become a parlor game for special interests and the political elite.

America's individuality is both brilliant and unstoppable.  That same driven ingenuity once built this nation into a world power of commerce and thought leadership, of free expression and unbridled opportunity.

These are the values that caused America to become respected and admired across the globe, and it must be the same values that inspire our American revival.

It is our time to work together, all of us, each with our own unique talents to bring insight to the challenges we face.  It requires the full capacity of our gifted thinking, constrained only by the limits of our imagination, and our willingness to see the job through.

The generations before us built an exceptional nation and we can once again become the authors of ideas that have such profound magnitude.

Great transformations begin from a single event and with directed focus we can propel our nation into the future of our choosing.  We the people, with a government of, by and for the people.

First we must heal.  And healing requires a leader with calm, unwavering resolve; someone more concerned about the next generation than the next election; someone who knows the pursuit of happiness is best fostered with opportunity and justice for all.

We need a leader who inspires us with deeds.  Someone dedicated to investing in the next generation of great thinkers, doers and believers in their own destiny, someone who will protect the freedom to discover and forge their own path; we need a leader to revive the true promise of America, spreading open the doors of opportunity for individual advancement, giving each of us a greater chance to flourish together, engaging people in their government and embracing the mandate of prior generations to leave this country better off than the one we inherited.

We have the fortitude to heal, the imagination to inspire, and the determination to revive our American Dream, one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

We can see this through together with a leader who derives his strength from God and his duty from the American people.
