It is not the job of the President to resolve our differences or adjudicate our grievances. That is the unenviable job of Congress. The President’s job is to find a common ground upon which all Americans, excluding none, can stand. I am told that this is impossible, yet I can give you one clear example: we are all human, and share the commonalities of fear, love, anger, jealousy, hope and compassion. If we start there, we can begin a conversation, myself and the American public, and perhaps grow that commonality into a substantive base.

I am running the first purely electronic Presidential campaign. I will hold “Fireside Chats”, over the Internet, through which you and I can communicate, as if I were sitting in your living room. I will not be coming to your city to shake your hand or kiss your babies, and for that I apologize, both to you and to your babies. But I will make myself available in a way that no presidential candidate has yet done if there is even one American that, at the end of my campaign, I do not represent, then I have failed and do not deserve to be your president.
