The challenges in America are numerous. Imagine a Rubik's
cube if you will … they are like a three-dimensional puzzle. There are no
simple fixes or panaceas. We arrived at this point in history after 250 years
of good and bad policies. We can’t solve our problems over night. In our rush
to solve the problems we must consider all dimensions of the challenges before
us.
The history of governments tells us that their purpose is
the well-being of the people. With that in mind, we must consider the entirety
of our population when looking for solutions. We must find the common ground
that unites us in our humanity not magnify the ideology's that divide us.
The way forward is not clear and the path is not fully
illuminated. We must shine a light on the pages of our history to learn that a
house divided cannot stand that in unity we advance and by division we fall. It
is by the light of this knowledge and the power of unity that we can move this
great nation forward and inspire the world by our humanity and ideals not our
wealth and might.
