Good Comes From Good!

Dear Mr. President:

No doubt, it is your life experience of unquenchable striving and the will to move forward in the face of huge obstacles and power blocks that is is demonstrating in this most recent and perhaps greatest test. I can only say that I, and in that I, I am a "we" because I am part of that humanity that has a heart,  we are all ennobled and made aware of the strength of the human heart, the heart that thinks not of itself but of the common good of all humanity.

You can rest assured that WE  have your back, perhaps not in the billions of dollars sense, but in the much more powerful sense of the will to good and the determination to secure liberty and freedom and, yes, even health care for all of our people.

I was so moved by your closing remark to the UN General Assembly. When we, as a nation speaking through our President, extended the Vision, the Principles and  Guarantees of our Constitution to all of Humanity and the planet as inalienable rights, It was, I think, a defining moment in the growth of this Nation.

These closing remarks opened a huge door and turned on a bright light in the world's mind. The United States of America wants for all peoples of all nations what we have for ourselves.

"I know what side of history I want to the United States of America to be on.  We're ready to meet tomorrow’s challenges with you -- firm in the belief that all men and women are in fact created equal, each individual possessed with a dignity and inalienable rights that cannot be denied.  That is why we look to the future not with fear, but with hope.  And that’s why we remain convinced that this community of nations can deliver a more peaceful, prosperous and just world to the next generation."

Thank you for having the courage to be who you are.

lots of love
