Obama: We've Come Too Far to Turn Back Now

Four years ago as I had the privilege to travel all across this country and meet Americans from all walks of life.

I decided nobody else should have to endure the heartbreak of a broken health care system. No one in the wealthiest nation on earth should go broke because they get sick.

Nobody should have to tell their daughters or sons the decisions they can and cannot make for themselves are constrained because of some politicians in Washington.

And thanks to you we've made a difference in people's lives. Thanks to you there are folks that I meet today who have gotten care and their cancer's been caught. And they've got treatment. And they are living full lives and it happened because of you.

We've come too far to turn back now. We've got too much work to do to implement health care. We've got too much work to do to create good jobs.

We've got too many teachers that we've got to hire. We've got too many schools that we've got to rebuild. We've got too many students who still need affordable higher education.

There's more homegrown energy to generate. There more troops that we've got to bring home.

There more doors of opportunity we've got to open to anybody who is willing to work hard and walk through those doors.

We've got to keep building an economy where no matter what you look like or where you come from, you can make it here if you try.

And you can leave something behind for the next generation, that's what at stake right now Colorado. That's why I'm running for President of the United States of America.

That's why I'm asking for your vote. I still believe in you. And if you still believe in me, and if you're willing to stand with me, and knock on some doors with me, and make some phone calls with me, and talk to your neighbor and friends about what's at stake—we will win this election. We will finish what we started.

And we'll remind the world why America is the greatest nation on earth.

God bless you and God bless the United States of America.

1. Not only do we have to re-elect this

wonderful President, we have to give him a Congress that will work with him. Down ticket progressives all the way.

3. Temporary

I agree a thousand percent on the need to elect and reelect progressives up and down the ticket. However to ensure we do not face the theft of our votes and the loss of our votes to count we have a long way to go. First we must make sure Progressives compell the justice department to fight voter suppression. Second we must make sure our rights to fair representation is not stolen by state legislatures and governors through gerrymandering by establishing independent redistricting commissions. Third we have to ensure our citizens in every state have the right of recall for any state position. and fourth we must assure we have the right of petition and repeal of unpopular laws. Fifth we must overturn Citizens United by constitutional amendment. We can and should do al these things to protect our country and our peoples' rights. We know what to do, so lets not stop at Obama and electing progressives. Lets enshrine the progressive values that built this country and made it great into our laws.
