And the alliance of nations that should be united against terror has likewise grown divided. New leadership is our best bet for bringing the country back together and forging the unity that we cannot win the war without.

John Kerry offers the change that America needs for the next four years. But more importantly, at a time when the nation and the world need it most, he offers hope.
