Obama/Morsi Remix

But last year, Egyptians chose to elect President Morsi—together. So now, you have another choice. Will you work with your fellow citizens to help tackle the challenges that we can all agree our country faces?

You don't have to support President Morsi or his vision for this country. But you have to acknowledge that all Egyptians, even those with whom you disagree, have the right to help to set our nation's course.

That's a truth that unites us all as citizens, and it sets up a basic agreement—one that makes us an example for other nations, which justifies our democratic experiment: the understanding that the elections we lose are still legitimate.

We’re a country full of those who hold passionate beliefs. We often fail to see eye to eye, and just as often, the debates those disagreements spark help to lead us forward—to solutions that make Egypt stronger.
