A great America is where the environment is clean and the water is pure.
A great America has pristine beaches and horizons free of oil drilling platforms.
A great America has fair elections and impartially drawn districts.
A great America is one where justice isn't only for those who can afford it.
A great America is where past symbols of division and hate no longer have a place in the public domain.

If we really want to Make America Great Again, this year we need to elect new leaders whose vision of a great America reflects our own.
