" "

We must rise above politics and restore independence to the White House, not compromise our economic or environmental or health security for political contributors or extreme ideologues … We must rise above partisan politics and stand up for our values here at home, because family and faith and responsibility matter more than power and partisanship and privilege. … I intend to talk straight to the American people and to show them that I'm a different kind of Democrat … I will not hesitate to tell my friends when I think they're wrong and to tell my opponents when I think they're right.
