So where does reform come from… top or bottom?  It doesn’t come from top or bottom.  It comes from within.  There is only honorable citizenship.  Whether you are President of the United States or a citizen who works a simple job to earn a small wage, you have a real opportunity to make a difference in life.  You make that difference by being the best ‘you’ you can be… being honorable, telling the truth. 

I didn’t ask you to follow me.  I asked you to stand with me, so that I might stand with you.  If you stand with me you are a leader every bit as much as I am… but only if you stand firm.  In fact, I can’t be a leader alone.  Someone standing alone is just someone standing alone.  He’s not a leader until there's participation. 

Vote for what you believe in.  Continue to learn with an open mind so that you continually refine the quality of what you do believe in.  If you are honest with yourself and others… if you have compassion for other people… if you are willing to forgive… if you believe in justice.  Don’t move.  Stand where you are, for where you stand is on solid ground.  Stand there, not alone, but with me.  And the center of gravity of the universe will shift to be aligned with us...  If you stand with me
