John,

The story of America is one marked by tragedy and triumph, hardship and success. We’ve fallen, floundered and even forgotten our way. But we have never quit. That’s what makes the American story an inspiration to people around the world; not ‘perfection,’ but perseverance.

America’s ability to overcome even the most dire challenges has hinged on our country’s ability to remain united. Through depressions and world wars, in the midst of contentious civil rights movements and in the wake of 9/11, we found a way to stand up together as a nation, dedicated to a brighter tomorrow. Today should be no different. During times like these, we may feel like we cannot go on, but ‘going on’ through dark days is what has always made this country great. 

It’s that spirit of strength and resolve that we hope to inspire far and wide with our latest ad, “Stand Together.”

Stand up Republic is, first and foremost, about working together as a people, pushing for a better future for us all. That’s why we need to keep our heads held high, and remember that we’re in this together.

When we work together, even across great distances, we have the power to change our country for the better. We can push for legislation that uplifts and empowers all Americans, and we can elect leaders who put our needs above their partisan interests. Most importantly, in great crises like this, we can lift up our neighbors in need and protect the most vulnerable in our society by standing together to stop the spread.

While our days may look much different, the spirit of America remains strong. 

The days seem long and the pandemic feels endless. Although distance may separate us physically, none of us are alone. We are in this together. We must face the challenges head on and remain hopeful for a better tomorrow, not just for ourselves, but for our children. 

So we’re asking you to help us spread a message of hope and determination. Watch our latest video and share it with your friends and family who could use a reminder that nothing can bring us down, if we all stand together.

Every day is the first day of a new future. It’s up to us all to work as one to make it as prosperous, free, and hopeful as possible.

—Stand Up Republic
