A People Free To Choose

I've Always Thought New Year's Day Was An Especially American Tradition, Full Of The Optimism And Hope We're Famous For In Our Daily Lives -- An Energy And Confidence We Call The American Spirit. Perhaps Because We Know We Control Our Own Destiny, We Believe Deep Down Inside That Working Together We Can Make Each New Year Better Than The Old.

I, In My Own Mind, Have Always Thought Of America As A Place In The Divine Scheme Of Things That Was Set Aside As A Promised Land...any Person With The Courage, With The Desire To Tear Up Their Roots, To Strive For Freedom, To Attempt And Dare To Live In A Strange And Foreign Place, To Travel Halfway Across The World Was Welcome Here.

Politics Is Not A Bad Profession. If You Succeed There Are Many Rewards, If You Disgrace Yourself You Can Always Write A Book.
