If there's one thing Americans can agree on, it's that there's too much money in politics.

If we can reclaim the spirit that so many of you showed all those years ago—the spirit that has inspired generations of Americans to answer the call of their time—then together, we can see America through its present trial, align our politics with our highest ideals, and write a brilliant new chapter in America’s best story.
Yes, we can.
