The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
I stand here today, grateful for the diversity of my heritage, aware that my parents' dreams live on in my two precious daughters. But we cannot walk away this time. The UCC is still listening. I know there is debate about this issue.
And it's around this time that some pastors I was working with came up to me and asked if I was a member of a church. But somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart. And in exchange, I'll ask for higher standards and more accountability. America, our work will not be easy. We were born out of revolution against an empire.
It's a journey that takes us back to our nation's founding, when none other than a UCC church inspired the Boston Tea Party and helped bring an Empire to its knees. I have made a solemn pledge that I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family's premiums by up to $2500 a year. To the love of my life, our next First Lady, Michelle Obama, and to Sasha and Malia - I love you so much, and I'm so proud of all of you. That is the responsibility we have to one another as human beings. I am emphasizing such investments within my country.
And all across the country, communities of faith are sponsoring day care programs, building senior centers, and in so many other ways, taking part in the project of American renewal. But my personal story is not so unique. It is a sign of neither courage nor power to shoot rockets at sleeping children, or to blow up old women on a bus. Instead, it must be a cause for action to help the Palestinian people develop the institutions that will sustain their state; to recognize Israel's legitimacy; and to choose progress over a self-defeating focus on the past. But it is clear to all concerned that when it comes to nuclear weapons, we have reached a decisive point.
They are full of dancing, clapping, screaming and shouting that may seem jarring to the untrained ear. And I will host a Summit on Entrepreneurship this year to identify how we can deepen ties between business leaders, foundations and social entrepreneurs in the United States and Muslim communities around the world.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
