Plain folks is definitely being employed here. Also glittering generalities, as the "concerns we all share" is not elaborated upon.

Answer:

plain folks

Step-by-step explanation:

Although considered one of the fathers of modern California he was known for his overtly racist attitudes toward blacks, Chinese and Native Americans. As a legislator in Oregon he helped facilitate the exclusion of African-Americans from the state until 1926. One of his proposals was to force the expulsion of free blacks from the state, and to institute floggings, every six months, of anyone who remained in the territory. In addition, his open hostility to foreign workers influenced a number of California legislators to push for xenophobic regulations, such as the China Exclusion Act thirty years after his departure from the governorship. Burnett was also an advocate of the extermination of the indigenous tribes of California, a policy that continued with successive government administrations for several decades, where the state offered rewards of US $ 25 to US $ 50 for each dead native.
