The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
Now let me be clear. It was stained by this nation's original sin of slavery, a question that divided the colonies and brought the convention to a stalemate until the founders chose to allow the slave trade to continue for at least twenty more years, and to leave any final resolution to future generations. And we are here because we love this country too much to let the next four years look like the last eight. She poured everything she had into me. It's a promise I make to my daughters when I tuck them in at night, and a promise that you make to yours - a promise that has led immigrants to cross oceans and pioneers to travel west; a promise that led workers to picket lines, and women to reach for the ballot. But that is not yet the case.
I've been speaking to a lot of churches recently, so it's nice to be speaking to one that's so familiar. I have brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles and cousins, of every race and every hue, scattered across three continents, and for as long as I live, I will never forget that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible. As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power. In signing the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796, our second President John Adams wrote, "The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims." And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States. Because we reject the same thing that people of all faiths reject: the killing of innocent men, women, and children.
It's that folks are hungry for change - they're hungry for something new. Anyway, Ashley finishes her story and then goes around the room and asks everyone else why they're supporting the campaign.
Most working- and middle-class white Americans don't feel that they have been particularly privileged by their race. This time we want to talk about the shuttered mills that once provided a decent life for men and women of every race, and the homes for sale that once belonged to Americans from every religion, every region, every walk of life. Together, you represent the harmony between tradition and progress.
Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place, America, that shone as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had come before. And if we can do that - if we can embrace a common destiny - then I believe we'll not just help bring about a more hopeful day in America, we'll not just be caring for our own souls, we'll be doing God's work here on Earth. He simply says to everyone in the room, "I am here because of Ashley." Don't tell me that Democrats won't keep us safe. Among some Muslims, there is a disturbing tendency to measure one's own faith by the rejection of another's. And I want to particularly say this to young people of every faith, in every country - you, more than anyone, have the ability to remake this world.
Thank you.
