Thank you for the opportunity for the Democratic Party and progressives to reclaim the votes of the sane citizens of these United States.

We honor the dead best by treating the living well.

California has a beautiful coastline. It can be a rough coastline. The waves are huge. The rocks are steep. Same thing in Vancouver. It has a beautiful coastline. It's dramatic.
