That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe. We have real enemies in the world. But what my former pastor too often failed to understand is that embarking on a program of self-help also requires a belief that society can change. Let us find that common stake we all have in one another, and let our politics reflect that spirit as well. And we will do so in partnership with Muslim communities which are also threatened. To play a role in fulfilling Palestinian aspirations, and to unify the Palestinian people, Hamas must put an end to violence, recognize past agreements, and recognize Israel's right to exist.

For alongside our famous individualism, there's another ingredient in the American saga. Tonight, I say to the American people, to Democrats and Republicans and Independents across this great land - enough! This moment - this election - is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, the American promise alive. We were born out of revolution against an empire. For we have learned from recent experience that when a financial system weakens in one country, prosperity is hurt everywhere.

Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one's religion.

But I've got news for them, too. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787. Because for two hundred and thirty two years, at each moment when that promise was in jeopardy, ordinary men and women - students and soldiers, farmers and teachers, nurses and janitors - found the courage to keep it alive. So America will defend itself respectful of the sovereignty of nations and the rule of law.

Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
