“like so many others, I often contemplate the obvious fact that America is in the midst of an historic struggle between those who, on the one hand, yearn for a restoration of the heritage of traditional values envisioned by our Founding Fathers and those who, on the other hand, contend that anything goes no matter how destructive--especially when the Federal Government finances it. Seldom mentioned is the fact that the Federal Government has no money except that which it forcibly extracts from the pockets of the American taxpayers back home in our States. So, what we have is a struggle for the soul of America. How it is finally resolved will determine whether America will move forward--or end up on history's ash heap, as have so many nations before us. The American people are more aware than ever before about what is at stake. They are sick and tired of crime, pornography, mediocre schools, and politicians who cater to every fringe group and perverse lifestyle. The voters resoundingly and unmistakably demonstrated their anger at the polls this past November. Mr. President, Reader's Digest presaged this public outcry when it published an article a few years ago titled ``Let Us Pray'', in which the magazine reported the results of a Wirthlin poll. That poll found that 80 percent of the American people resent the Supreme Court's ruling that it is unconstitutional for prayers to be offered at high school graduations.”
