The greatness I saw best exhibited that night was the man in a storm in dark of night, who climbed to a hill and held up his lights so that other people would not get hurt!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a storm in our nation! There is darkness and wind. People are getting hurt. What we need is not from on high. We need foot soldiers of our Democracy who, in times of trial, are willing to stand up."
"Will you stand for our democracy? Will you stand to get out the vote? Will you stand for our children? Will you stand up for our elders? And will you stand together, unified, strong, be the hope that people need?"
"It's time for a new deal! It's time to redeem the dream of America!"

He rallied the audience to stand up for democracy, vote, and support one another, declaring it a time for unity and a renewed commitment to American ideals.
