But what is worth our time is the future that we want to build.

Every single one of us wants an America as good as her promise.

And each of our dreams are different.

That's what makes diversity so amazing.

But there are some fundamentals, y'all, that are just non-negotiable.

We have to take on the corporations and the monopolies that are squeezing every dollar out of our pockets and making us poorer.

We have got to lower the cost of healthcare and everyday necessities.

Nobody should be forced to make a decision about if they are going to pay the rent or stay alive.

We have got to make the dream of home ownership real.

It is not if you try to dream and work

to own a home, that it costs you a future and limits your future instead of allowing you to build a future.

And we have got to build an education system that opens the doors for all of our young people rather than shutting them down and burying them in student loan debt.

And yes, we need an immigration system that lives up to the founding ideals of this country.

Diversity is not the threat.

It is the very source of who we are as a nation, y'all.

And we have to empower our cities, our rural communities, with the resources they need to solve 21st and 22nd century problems.

And above all, we must, and if you don't know it by now, then you have not been paying attention, but we must save and protect and defend and make more righteous our democracy.

because without it absolutely none of this is possible this weekend i was back home in california in my district and i was talking to one of my constituents may and may said

I want to be able to trust my government again.

I want elected officials who will be honest with me.
