Closing statement:
"My bible and Rev. Jesse Jackson has taught me that the race does not go to the swift and the strong, but for those who hold out til the end. Thanks to all of you here for continuing to hold on and for keeping the promise of our democracy alive."

John Bonifaz said, yesterday, "The nation is at a crossroads."
"We can stand by while our democracy erodes around us, or we can stand up and fight, he said.
"For the dignity of our nation; and for the dignity of ourselves; and for the memory of those who struggled before us, we must choose to fight."

I think his summary and that of Mr Moore are valid and should motivate all of us to focus on saving our American franchise of democracy, now.
