The United States of America -
It is a special name and we have a special responsibilty -

It dates back 2500 years to this day. We must not fail now.

We are the last best hope of the world - and we proved it- over and over again. Even after all the screw-ups we have made as a county - we did the right thing in the end.

This is a turning point in western history - it doesn't happen often. We do the right thing or we sell out to other interests. And we do it in a few months. Our choice.

We screw this one up - as a society - and there may be no come back.

This is blood of our blood - blood of our fathers time.

This is a turning point maybe.



This is it -
