Government Exists To Protect Us

We Welcome Change And Openness; For We Believe That Freedom And Security Go Together, That The Advance Of Human Liberty Can Only Strengthen The Cause Of World Peace.

In This Present Crisis, Government Is Not The Solution To Our Problem; Government Is The Problem. From Time To Time We've Been Tempted To Believe That Society Has Become Too Complex To Be Managed By Self-rule, That Government By An Elite Group Is Superior To Government For, By, And Of The People. Well, If No One Among Us Is Capable Of Governing Himself, Then Who Among Us Has The Capacity To Govern Someone Else? All Of Us Together, In And Out Of Government, Must Bear The Burden.

An Actor Knows Two Important Things - To Be Honest In What He Is Doing And To Be In Touch With The Audience. That's Not Bad Advice For A Politician Either.

Today, The United States Stands As A Beacon Of Liberty And Democratic Strength Before The Community Of Nations. We Are Resolved To Stand Firm Against Those Who Would Destroy The Freedoms We Cherish. We Are Determined To Achieve An Enduring Peace - A Peace With Liberty And With Honor. This Determination, This Resolve, Is The Highest Tribute We Can Pay To The Many Who Have Fallen In The Service Of Our Nation.
