Political Quotes

“Every April, faithful Americans come together in prayer and thanksgiving to celebrate Faith Month. I embrace the unique opportunity that we have to recognize this time and acknowledge one of the foundational virtues of our great country. I also commend Concerned Women for America, the Nation's largest public policy organization for women, and other faith-based organizations for encouraging people to use this month to actively strengthen their faith. A group of courageous Americans met in Philadelphia 250 years ago to sign a document declaring the birth of a new nation, one 'conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.' Thus was born a nation that became the greatest force for prosperity, goodness, justice, and freedom that the world has ever known. Those words were only made possible by a culture founded on faith. Generations before that clandestine meeting, the Pilgrims, fleeing religious persecution in their European homelands, sailed to the shores of Massachusetts. They undertook a perilous journey to an unknown world in pursuit of the right to freely worship God. Ever since, that right has been central at the heart of the American experience. Our Founders understood that belief in God was key to the success of the new Nation.”
