2032 Presidential Acceptance Speech: Dr. Henrietta Pfizer Lacks

CHAIRMAN DEAN: My fellow Americans, you have made your excellent choice to vote independent Dr. Henrietta Pfizer Lacks as your next President of the United States. Running on the platform of free healthcare for all, funded by a decrease of international aid and military spending due to the atrocities’ that followed the sea level rising of 2025. For too long we have focused on issues outside our own borders and now we have an American focusing on the needs of Americans. From the years of 1990 till 2025 obesity had been on the rise peaking with 60% in the year 2022, these statistics cannot continue to rise with the country still dealing with the effects of global warming. With the added increase of diseases that have come from sea levels rising, such as Cholera and Malaria you have understood the ideals that the President elect has preached to you, the public. You, the voters, have stopped health insurance companies from holding the American public hostage with ridiculous prices and overbearing lobbying. It is simply un-American for corporations to dictate the lives of American citizens. This is not what we need and you the public have understood that free healthcare for all is needed! With all the challenges that we face, we need to clean up home and prove America as the number one nation in the world. With free healthcare, our nation will become stronger and healthier meaning that we can continue to keep the American dream alive for the next generation and for centuries to come. Citizens of America I give you the 46th President of the United States President Henrietta Lacks

DR. LACKS: Thank you very much to the Chairman Dean and to my fellow citizens of this great nation, with profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for presidency of the United States.  Let me express my thanks to the historic slate of candidates who accompanied me on this journey.  To everyone who endorsed this campaign, President Hickenlooper and to the next vice president of the United States I thank you. 

Twelve years ago President Hickenlooper and the Senate named me as Surgeon General and together as a nation we made health care accessible and affordable for every citizen of this great nation. We said no to big Pharm lobbying and we drastically advanced medicine as we knew it.  Although water levels have risen and we continue to face difficult times in health, international relations and our economy, what sets this nation apart from any other is the ability to achieve whatever we set our minds to.  Through hard work and sacrifice each of us can pursue not only our individual dreams, but also come together as one American family, to ensure that the next generation can pursue their dreams too.  That is why I am here right now, because ordinary men and women found the courage to keep that dream alive and elect the first Surgeon General to office, the first independent since John Tyler in 1845, and the first elected independent since our first president of the United States.  You have elected someone who stands for change.

It is in these defining moments, with our soldiers still deployed, millions of people displaced due to climate change and our economy in turmoil, that the American dream has been threatened again.  Tonight Americans are out of work, uninsured and have been manipulated by the government one too many times.  These challenges can be fixed: it is time to be a better government, a better community, a better country.  Tonight I accept this presidency without a big party platform, or funding. The people have spoken and it is no longer about being a Republican, or a Democrat, it is about doing the right thing, being the best we can be individually and together as one.  We can be better.

Let me add there is no doubt that my fellow nominees deserve the utmost gratitude and respect, but let me be clear they are endorsed by and support the same mechanisms which have continued to hurt this country for the past fifty years.  It is time to reevaluate progress and what constitutes progress in this country. It is time to stop being satisfied with the way things are going, stop wanting to get where we were before and start going to where we want to be.  Change happens because the American people demand it, because they rise up and insist on new innovative ideas, new leadership, new politics for a new time.  This is a time of change.

At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise, that American promise, that American dream, and in the words of scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess. Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America.
