We are Democrats. And today, we’re asking for your vote.

Not against something, but for something.

Vote for Democrats because we believe in standing up to bullies — not electing them.

We believe that health care is a right and diversity is a strength.

Vote for Democrats because we believe that facts matter, and that a free press is vital to a healthy democracy.

We believe that every person in this nation should be treated with dignity and respect — no matter what you look like, where you come from, who you love, or how you pray.

We believe in standing up to white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and all of their enablers — including the president of the United States.

We believe that you can be patriotic without being prejudiced, and that discrimination is not a national security strategy.

Vote for Democrats because we believe it’s possible to fix our immigration system and secure our borders with a process that is fair, just, and lawful — not senselessly cruel.

We believe in breaking down barriers — not hiding behind walls.

Vote for Democrats because we believe that getting sick shouldn’t mean going broke.

We believe a college degree shouldn’t mean a lifetime of debt.

We believe that having a child shouldn’t mean losing your paycheck.

We believe that a woman’s decisions about her own body are her business — not the government’s.

Vote for Democrats because we believe in rewarding the hard work of middle-class families — not handing out massive tax breaks to help the richest get even richer.

We believe that everyone should be able to find a job that pays enough to raise a family and retire with dignity.

Vote for Democrats because we believe the scientific consensus that climate change is an urgent threat to our planet and our children’s future — and we believe in taking decisive action to address it.

We believe clean drinking water is a basic human right.

We believe our schools and our streets should be free from gun violence, and our police departments should be held accountable to their communities.

We believe in making it easier, not harder, for more Americans to have a say on days like today.

Vote for Democrats because we believe our nation is at its best when we look out for one another — when we work together to solve problems.

This isn’t new. It’s who we’ve always been, and our country is better for it.

We’re the party that lifted America from a Dust Bowl and a Depression, that fought for women’s suffrage and Social Security, that led our nation through war and brought the world to peace.

We’re the party that put health care within reach of millions through Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act.

We‘re the party that faced down centuries of oppression and worked with activists and organizers to pass the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act.

We’re the party that believes we have nothing left to fear but fear itself. That asks not what our country can do for us — but what we can do for our country. The party of “Give ’em hell.” The party that said “Yes, we can.” The party that affirmed “Love is love.”

The Democratic Party is the party that has your back.

Dear America,

We are Democrats. And today, we’re asking for your vote.
