A line of text before the Unordered List

• First element of list

  My Fellow Americans,

  I come before you tonight as a candidate for the Vice Presidency and as a man whose honesty and -- and integrity has been questioned.

  Now, the usual political thing to do when charges are made against you is to either ignore them or to deny them without giving details. I believe we've had enough of that in the United States, particularly with the present Administration in Washington, D.C. To me the office of the Vice Presidency of the United States is a great office, and I feel that the people have got to have confidence in the integrity of the men who run for that office and who might obtain it.

  ...

  But just let me say this last word: Regardless of what happens, I'm going to continue this fight. I'm going to campaign up and down in America until we drive the crooks and the Communists and those that defend them out of Washington.
