I believe all Americans are born with certain inalienable rights. As a child of God, I believe my rights are not derived from the constitution. My rights are not derived from any government. My rights are not denied by any majority. My rights are because I exist. They were given to me and each of my fellow citizens by our creator, and they represent the essence of human dignity.

Anything seemed possible, likely, feasible, because I wanted everything to be possible...

Believe me--it will at least be taken into consideration.

The passage of time has not altered the capacity of the Redeemer to change menβs lives. As he said to the dead Lazarus, so he says to you and me: βcome forth.β Come forth from the despair of doubt. Come forth from the sorrow of sin. Come forth from the death of disbelief. Come forth to a newness of life. Come forth.
