I accept. This is a great day for many people, including me, but more importantly, it is a really important day for a man we call Al. He's special to us. He's special to me. We shouldn't forget that. I pledge to conduct my campaign not only in accordance with the Code of Fair Campaign Practices but in his honour. We must unite and remember who brought us the radical change we all love? To that end I hope I will win this election with several votes.
Thank you.
