Thank you, thank you. We have a very Historic Task on our hands. It is as historic as the challenge that has faced any generation before us. It is important to remember that when this country has faced dark times before, generations rose up and they pushed back all undemocratic forces that needed to be pushed back.

Washington and i just got in about an hour ago. We were on the tarmac.
