I Hope For An America

Wanted Or Unwanted, I Believe That Human Life, Even At Its Earliest Stages, Has Certain Rights Which Must Be Recognized – The Right To Be Born, The Right To Love, The Right To Grow Old... When History Looks Back To This Era It Should Recognize This Generation As One Which Cared About Human Beings Enough To Halt The Practice Of War, To Provide A Decent Living For Every Family, And To Fulfill Its Responsibility To Its Children From The Very Moment Of Conception.

For All My Years In Public Life, I Have Believed That America Must Sail Toward The Shores Of Liberty And Justice For All. There Is No End To That Journey, Only The Next Great Voyage. We Know The Future Will Outlast All Of Us, But I Believe That All Of Us Will Live On In The Future We Make.

A Good Marriage Is Loving Someone In A Lot Of Different Circumstances. Respect For Them And Their Views And Ideas And The Life That They're Leading With You. Shared Values And Interests. A Good Sense Of Humour. And A Little Volatility Along The Way.

It Appears That Legal Positions That You Have Supported Have Been Used By The Administration, The Military, And The Cia To Justify Torture And Geneva Convention Violations By Military And Civilian Personnel.

Under The Bush Administration, Openness And Accountability Have Been Replaced By Secrecy And Evasion Of Responsibility. They Abuse Their Power, Conceal Their Actions From The American People, And Refuse To Hold Officials Accountable.
