Last evening it was refreshing to listen to patriotic music by the Boston Pops orchestra, seeing thousands of young & old gathered singing, waving flags and truly expressing their love for our country. The celebration ended with fireworks in New York and listening to the sounds of our neighbor’s firecrackers.
You could see & feel a sense of commitment to America, where our democracy hinges on the ability of those who believe strongly and are willing to vote to protect it.
A pro-democracy coalition must be formed that shows the same enthusiasm as we witnessed yesterday. A coalition that stays unified, engaged and committed to the overall health of our democracy over ideological views. If we can do it, our democracy will endure.
The preservation of democracy in the United States requires a strong and unified ballot box coalition, where Democrats, Republicans and Independents…progressives, moderates and conservatives…stand together to ensure the defeat of autocratic candidates.
Let’s remember the message of July 4th.
