 And I'm so excited to be here with you at this amazing event. Now I have a hunch that we're all here because we believe that our democracy could use some work. Because we all believe that our government that we pay for with our taxes should work for us. Many of us have come from so many places from across the country, from across political... Hang on, wait a minute. Everybody was so excited. From across the political spectrum to be here tonight. We may all have different reasons for being here. And I guess I'll tell you mine because we're, you know, we're here. I was born the first girl in my family in 50 years. I was a goddamn miracle. To two of the kindest, most genuine brothers any girl could ever hope for except for a few tiny flecks and moments of pure evil. Growing up we thought about everything except that mom was annoying. We were very different then and even today our political and spiritual beliefs are completely different. But we never stopped loving each other or rooting for each other. We respect each other and we know that as a united front there is nothing that we cannot conquer. Even mom at Christmas or especially at a wedding. So let my family be an example that we do not have to pick sides. We are experiencing the same thing in this country right now and it's time to come together. Across ideologies, across parties, it's time to unite to fix our democracy. Because regardless of where our politics fall, at the grassroots the American people don't deserve to pay taxes to a system that is rigged against them. Fuck that. To be on the stage tonight and I'm humbled to be fighting alongside you. Thank you. We have an amazing lineup for you tonight. Insight, inspiration, comedy and the first ever courage awards for fearless people who put it on the line to unrig the system.
