“ It is time for you to save your soul. It is time for you to save your country.
That man at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will forget you. He will use you and he will dump you to the side, but what will be left will be the stain—the stain—on democracy that you are engaging in right now.
Listen to yourselves. I consider most of you very smart, believe it or not, but the idea that we would rig an election for the President but not preserve the congressional seats for all of our friends that we just lost in the last election is absurd. ”

“ You owe it to democracy. You owe it to the hundreds and thousands of men and women that have sacrificed their life.
You know better. You are better. Be the good American. Be the American you want. Preserve this democracy ”

“ I hope you never have to face fire or bullets or bombs for your country, but right now—right now—this country is asking you to be better. Right now, this country is asking you to show courage.
That man will leave. Your soul will stay with you for the rest of your life. ”
