Ronald Reagan: “Respect for human rights is essential to true peace on Earth. Governments that must answer to their peoples do not launch wars of aggression. That’s why the American people cannot close their eyes to abuses of human rights and injustice, whether they occur among friend or adversary or even on our own shores.” (Source)
When will today’s Republicans speak up???
Weep for America
Ideals of freedom and equality
Alliances forged in battles against tyranny
Innovation in science and technology
Outreach to those in need
throughout the world
We did not always live our promise
But we faced failures and strived to be better
Until now — when we watch it all
being broken before our eyes.
