WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS

WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT, THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, THAT THEY ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, THAT AMONG THESE ARE LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

SO DECLARED OUR FOUNDING FATHERS

TO THE EXTENT WE HONOR THEM

WE ARE TRUE TO OUR HERITAGE

AND CAN CALL OURSELVES AMERICAN

TO THE EXTENT WE FEEL THE ARE CHRISTIAN TEACHINGS

AND TRY TO LIVE UP TO THEM

WE CAN CALL OURSELVES CHRISTIAN

WHAT GOOD IS IT TO HAVE GOD ON OUR MONEY

PRAYER IN SCHOOL

IF THERE IS

GREED IN THE MARKET PLACE

CHILDREN HUNGRY

THE IMMIGRANT NOT WELCOME

UNENDING LINE OF YOUNG MEN

DYING IN BATTLE

GAP BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR

BETWEEN THE PRIVILEGED FEW

AND THE MAJORITY

HOW CAN WE SAY WE ARE A CHRISTIAN NATION

WHY ARE PROFESSED CHRISTIANS

KNOWN MORE BY WHAT THEY HATE

RATHER THAN WHAT THEY LOVE

IF WE TRIED TO LIVE UP TO OUR IDEALS

AND FAILED TRYING

IT’S UNDERSTANDABLE

WE ARE A SINFUL PEOPLE

BUT LACK OF EFFORT

OR LIVING IN A RELIGIOUS COCOON

BENEFIT NO ONE

WHEN A POLITICIAN

TRIES TO HANG THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

IN A COURTHOUSE

AND CAN’T RECITE THEM

WHAT HYPOCRISY

ON THIS MEMORIAL DAY

WE HAVE MUCH TO REMEMBER

AND MUCH STILL TO DO

TO MAKE THE DREAM

A REALITY
