1/4 I believe like a majority of my fellows patriots the office of the Presidency embodies who we are as Americans. It represents the heart of our compassion, the better dreams of those who built this country both freed and enslaved, the eyes of those filled with hope or despair

2/4 and the wisdom of each of us to make a meaningful difference. The Chair behind the Resolute Desk has always been bigger than any one person or any political party.
It is neither prop nor ornament. It is the seat of the people.

3/4 Sadly, we have witnessed the occupant of that Chair devolve into preying upon our fears and resentments with a narcissism that nurtures only chaos and confusion. Dr. King reminds us "our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." My country matters

4/4 Leadership is needed now more than ever and I am proud to make my commitment to the country to reset the course of our nation, to stand once again for the future of my Party; and to work with the @ProjectLincoln to help restore the purpose for sitting in that chair.
