Our elections should serve as a global benchmark for the peaceful
transition of power. As President Reagan said, we must be ``the shining
city upon the hill,'' and we must lead by example. Our elections
require a strong and steady commitment from our newly naturalized
citizens; from families whose families fought in the Revolutionary War;
from volunteers who cover 16-hour shifts to keep polling locations
open; from country, city, and township clerks. The preservation of free and fair elections requires a strong
commitment from our highest elected official in the land. As Americans,
we look to the President of the United States to safeguard our
democracy from foreign adversaries.
