Freedom will bring back jobs and raise wages.

Freedom will lift people out of dependency and to the dignity of work.

Our party was founded to defeat slavery.

Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

We passed the Civil Rights Act, and fought to eliminate Jim Crow laws.

Those were fights for freedom, and so is this."

Then he asks for money.
