“We should all commemorate this day with a renewed commitment, a renewed fervor to achieve what those upon whose shoulders we stand set out to do starting way back in 1776, when Abigail Adams wrote to her husband, John Adams, as he headed to the Third Continental Congress, imploring him to “remember the ladies”, and that they would form a rebellion “if attention is not paid” to our interests, and that we “would not hold ourselves  bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.”

So today, let’s commemorate, and tomorrow work like hell to get out the vote.”
