Let us each do our own part to raise the expected standards of moral and civic responsibility.

With a thoughtful, respectful and compassionate leadership in place we can each join him and help make the dream come true. Teach kind language, and discourage violence. Act cordially, with sincerity at every opportunity. Give, share, volunteer and help. We worked together in November, let us continue to mature as individuals, and as a nation.
