In declaring this national holiday, President Lincoln called upon Americans to speak with one voice and one heart.
Thats just what we have to do.
Weve just finished a long and bruising political campaign.
Emotions are raw and tensions just dont heal overnight.
It doesnt go quickly, unfortunately.
But we have before us the chance now to make history together.
But to succeed, we must enlist the effort of our entire nation.
This historic political campaign is now over.
I am asking you to join me in this effort.
Its time to restore the bonds of trust between citizens.
Because when America is unified, there is nothing beyond our reach, and I mean absolutely nothing.
