DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA

PAGE #10
democracy's magnetism is reflected in the stories still told around holiday dinner tables today, the story of the young couple who abandoned Havana for the promise and safety and opportunity in the United States; the stories sprinkled with Yiddish of the family from Minsk who fled to the land of religious freedom; the story hardly known of forced exodus from Africa and a slow exodus from slavery and hardship to liberty; the story still told in Polish of the farmers who left the old country for the rich and limitless land of our own Midwest.
In this election let us join together to ensure that our American epic can offer meaning and guidance to freedom loving people around the world. Let us seize this historic moment to help expand democracy's embrace, and let us act toward the world in a manner worthy of our heritage, our ideals and our name.
Thank you very much.
