Mock Election Mission #3


          I wrote this speech for Richard to give when speaking to voters during lunches in B commons.
       
          Government is bound by duty.  It has a duty to protect, a duty to serve, and a duty to uphold the Constitution. Every citizen in this great country has the right to, in the words of Thomas Jefferson, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” I stand before you today with a promise. If I am elected, I will uphold this sacred promise. I will uphold my duty to protect my environment, my duty not to overspend and to balance the budget. I will uphold my duty to support health care reform and my duty to prevent discrimination. America is built on equality.  This is the backbone of our society. I will help support immigration reform, and equal opportunity for all Americans regardless of race, sex, income, or sexual orientation. Every American has something to offer and if I am elected to the U.S. senate I will help to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to fulfill this potential and propel our country into a better tomorrow.
