The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
John Kerry believes in an America where all Americans can afford the same health coverage our politicians in Washington have for themselves. But my journey is part of a larger journey - one shared by all who've ever sought to apply the values of their faith to our society. And it is no coincidence that countries where women are well-educated are far more likely to be prosperous.
I just think he doesn't know. When one nation pursues a nuclear weapon, the risk of nuclear attack rises for all nations. I am aware that some question or justify the events of 9/11. This truth transcends nations and peoples - a belief that isn't new; that isn't black or white or brown; that isn't Christian, or Muslim or Jew.
And as a consequence, so did I. We're not going to agree on everything, but we can disagree without being disagreeable. I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. We need a President who can face the threats of the future, not keep grasping at the ideas of the past. These things we share.
They saw that I knew the Scriptures and that many of the values I held and that propelled me in my work were values they shared. Imagine Lincoln's Second Inaugural without its reference to "the judgments of the Lord." Or King's "I Have a Dream" speech without its reference to "all of God's children." Or President Kennedy's Inaugural without the words, "here on Earth, God's work must truly be our own." At each of these junctures, by summoning a higher truth and embracing a universal faith, our leaders inspired ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things. It is that promise that has always set this country apart - that through hard work and sacrifice, each of us can pursue our individual dreams but still come together as one American family, to ensure that the next generation can pursue their dreams as well.
Clearly, the past 50 years have not weakened your resolve as faithful witnesses of the gospel. The UCC is still listening. I'll recruit an army of new teachers, and pay them higher salaries and give them more support.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
