On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.... What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them — that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply.
Business in the light of day, rejecting as false the choice between our safety and our ideals, extending a hand to the unclenched fist. These aren't new ideas, but it has been a long time since we have seen them in action. It was time.
