Our values, our American values, the very values that for so long have been an inspiration to the world—despite being so often betrayed by our own actions—are being deliberately attacked by the highest officers in our government and the political party to which they belong. For them our defining values as a republic and as a people are not our true and greatest strength in the world; they are contemptible weaknesses to be spit upon, slandered, reviled, and ended.
They are dangerously wrong, sacrificing our honor and endangering both our lives and those of others.
But the world is watching, and no matter how the coming months unfold, that is the single most important reason to be out in the streets.
