Powerful speech! President Obama & John Lewis crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma together. ‪"What they did here will reverberate through the ages,". The most powerful word in our democracy is WE! We the people. That word is owned by no one it belongs to everyone.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

America, We have lived through Dark Days & no doubt that there is more to come. But it is the good and great men & women that stand up for America when others turn & run. I know right now a lot of us don’t recognize our country that we love. We don’t have to recognize it, we just have to SAVE IT..

I know a lot of us don’t recognize America right now. We don’t have to recognize it, WE just have to SAVE IT. The price of freedom is high, it always has been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. I know times see DARK. The night is darkest just before the dawn. But the dawn is coming. Don’t give up
