MSNBC has kicked off their new “Lean Forward” campaign. The network is expected to emphasize the slogan during a multi-year push. The video used to mark the campaign’s kickoff is called “Declaration of Forward.” The speaker recites a modified version of the Declaration of Independence used as a device to express the network’s vision of the United States:

SPEAKER: “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men and women have certain unalienable rights. Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and the freedom to believe that while history has got us this far, our best days are still ahead. We are the United States of ‘come as you are.’ Our differences are what unite us. So starting today, may the ideas that advance our country, no matter who or where they come from, win.”
