The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
Religious leaders like my friends Rev. Jim Wallis and Rabbi David Saperstein and Nathan Diament are working for justice and fighting for change. But she didn't. And I will restore our moral standing, so that America is once again that last, best hope for all who are called to the cause of freedom, who long for lives of peace, and who yearn for a better future.
Our conscience cannot rest so long as nearly 45 million Americans don't have health insurance and the millions more who do are going bankrupt trying to pay for it. Today there are 12 million undocumented immigrants in America, most of them working in our communities, attending our churches, and contributing to our country. Now is the time to end this addiction, and to understand that drilling is a stop-gap measure, not a long-term solution. The question, now, is not what Iran is against, but rather what future it wants to build.
John Kerry believes in the Constitutional freedoms that have made our country the envy of the world, and he will never sacrifice our basic liberties, nor use faith as a wedge to divide us. A belief that we're all connected as one people. But the record's clear: John McCain has voted with George Bush ninety percent of the time. Instead, it is that American spirit - that American promise - that pushes us forward even when the path is uncertain; that binds us together in spite of our differences; that makes us fix our eye not on what is seen, but what is unseen, that better place around the bend. And that is why we are providing more than $2.8 billion to help Afghans develop their economy and deliver services that people depend upon. But I also know that human progress cannot be denied.
They're ready to turn the page on the old politics and the old policies - whether it's the war in Iraq or the health care crisis we're in, or a school system that's leaving too many kids behind despite the slogans. But there's a story I want to share that takes place before Moses passed the mantle of leadership on to Joshua. In the end, then, what is called for is nothing more, and nothing less, than what all the world's great religions demand - that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. They have fought in our wars, served in government, stood for civil rights, started businesses, taught at our Universities, excelled in our sports arenas, won Nobel Prizes, built our tallest building, and lit the Olympic Torch. Around the world, the Jewish people were persecuted for centuries, and anti-Semitism in Europe culminated in an unprecedented Holocaust. The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements.
America, our work will not be easy. The United States has been one of the greatest sources of progress that the world has ever known. That is why I intend to personally pursue this outcome with all the patience that the task requires. Now, that must be our work here on Earth.
Thank you very much everybody.
