It’s much
the same dream that began in the minds and hearts of America’s Founding Fathers.
It’s a vision, a hope, a goal and a passion which began to materialize when our
forefathers first set foot on the shores of this remarkable country. It’s alive
and well today in the hearts of many. It’s The American Dream. It’s a belief that people of every
conceivable faith, origin, and ethnicity can join together and find peace, acceptance,
common purpose, and strength through that diversity, and in doing so, form a
government of, by, and for a people, unified by their diverse faiths and their
mutual pursuit of liberty and justice for all. It’s dedicated to the
proposition that all people are created equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. Many have
dedicated their lives to this proposition. It’s a proposition that a person
could proudly die for. It’s the dream of a society where each and every
individual has the right and the responsibility to pursue and participate in policies
and practices which assure fair and equitable treatment of all their fellow citizens.
It’s a vision of, not just a shining city on a hill, but an entire country
where devoted citizens appreciate their own liberty, uphold and defend the
liberty of others, and dedicate themselves to the great and noble task before us,
that this nation, under God, shall have a new
birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the
people, shall not perish from the earth. SC
