“When we’re shy about what we care about, when we’re defensive about what we’ve accomplished, when we don’t stand up straight and say:
Yes we believe people in this country should have health insurance and we’re glad that we are making that happen;
Yes we believe that families shouldn’t be torn apart, we’re glad that we’re fighting for immigration reform;
Yes we believe in middle class economics, we don’t apologise for wanting to make sure that
some wonderful young man or young woman out there can actually afford to go to college, even if their parents didn’t go.
We need to stand up and go on offense and not be defensive about what we believe in.
That’s why we’re Democrats.
And I promise you, I’m not going out the last two years sitting in the sidelines, I’m going to be out there making the case every single day.
I hope you join me.”
