Equality

"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."

Those are the words this nation was built upon. I, too, believe, as Dr. King put it, "one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed". History is full of examples of groups gaining equality. However, we aren't quite there yet. The young, the poor, the LGBT community, the unborn, the foreigners, are all denied the equality and human dignity that they deserve as human beings.

I call to you today, on this random day in September, to stand up and fight for what's right!
