But I say to you that it is testimony to the love of country the elevation of country above self that we have all put aside historic differences and usher into being a new paradigm of politics in this country. If we are to live out the meaning of our creed Country Above Self. If we are to stay true to the ideals of our forefathers then we must embark on this journey in UNITY. A journey that will bring restoration of decency and good governance,” Brantley said Hon.
