By the Dawn's Early Light

The Constitution's etched in blood

Of Patriots who have died 

Our country has survived the flood

Of the tyrannical tide

From civil war to depression 

To the moon's lunar landing

From 911 through recession 

Our Democracy's still standing 

Proudly by the dawn's early light 

Has the mighty Eagle flown

Through diligence we've earned the right 

To this land we call our own

Thanks Karen, with all the attacks on our democracy, we need to stand together to preserve it. Vote for Kamala. Vote for America.
