Today I am proud of my fellow Americans, proud to be a part of a revitalized democratic party that has reminded us of the importance of the beliefs on which our country was founded, and offers hope for the future. What makes this country great isn't our power, it isn't our wealth and it isn't our position as the global police. It is our people and our drive to create a world in which we are all equal. The Greeks of Athens would evacuate in times of war because they knew what was precious about their culture lived in the hearts of the citizens and not in the land. I think we forget that sometimes. It is the American people who make this country great and today, I am proud to be one of them.
