"FDR 1941 State of the Union Address"
by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Our national policy is this:
First, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to all-inclusive national defense.
Second, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to full support of all those resolute peoples, everywhere, who are resisting aggression and are thereby keeping war away from our Hemisphere. By this support, we express our determination that the democratic cause shall prevail; and we strengthen the defense and the security of our own nation.
Third, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to the proposition that principles of morality and considerations for our own security will never permit us to acquiesce in a peace dictated by aggressors and sponsored by appeasers. We know that enduring peace cannot be bought at the cost of other people's freedom.

President Roosevelt uses repetition to summarize the national policy primarily **to unify the audience behind a common cause**. By consistently emphasizing the commitment to national defense, support for resolute peoples, and moral principles against aggression, he aims to rally the nation together, regardless of political affiliations, to stand united in the face of global threats.
