America has never been a piece of real estate. America is a way of thinking.

When we are doing it right, what makes us distinctive, is the spirit found in our homes, and in our neighborhoods, and in our churches and in our schools and throughout all our institutions. We are inclusive. We are no respecter of persons.

Our common language and the covenant–the understanding we have with each other– that everyman bares the stamp, the signature of his Creator– are America’s force multipliers. Together they secure our cohesiveness and enable our unmatched social mobility. Whether a rich man or a poor man– dignity is every persons birthright.

America has always been greater than the sum of her parts. America takes the best of all people, all nations, all ethic groups and all religions and transforms this sea of humanity into a unique creature. An American.
