It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen；By people who waited three hours and four hour...It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican，black，white, Hispanic，Asian，Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled...It’s the answer that led those who have been told...to put their hands

syntactical similarities introduced for rhetorical

and new industries – we must claim its is how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure – our forests and waterways。they strengthen do not make us a nation of takers。an endless
