    “The beating heart of our American idea…

    We are all created equal.

    Insistence that these rights … that we the people can form a more perfect union…”

      Excerpt:

      “It’s the beating heart of our American idea – our bold experiment in self-government.

      “It’s the conviction that we are all created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.It’s the insistence that these rights, while self-evident, have never been self-executing; that We, the People, through the instrument of our democracy, can form a more perfect union. This is the great gift our Founders gave us. The freedom to chase our individual dreams through our sweat, toil, and imagination and the imperative to strive together as well, to achieve a greater good.”
