There are two visions of North America. One precedes our founding fathers and finds its roots in the harshness of our puritan past. It is very suspicious of freedom, uncomfortable with diversity, hostile to science, unfriendly to reason, contemptuous of personal autonomy. It sees North America as a religious nation. It views patriotism as allegiance to God. It secretly adores coercion and conformity. Despite our constitution, despite the legacy of the Enlightenment, it appeals to millions of North Americans and threatens our freedom.

The other vision finds its roots in the spirit of our founding revolution and in the leaders of this nation who embraced the age of reason. It loves freedom, encourages diversity, embraces science and affirms the dignity and rights of every individual. It sees North America as a moral nation, neither completely religious nor completely secular. It defines patriotism as love of country and of the people who make it strong. It defends all citizens against unjust coercion and irrational conformity.

This second vision is our vision. It is the vision of a free society. We must be bold enough to proclaim it and strong enough to defend it against all its enemies.

YOU & ME!

I am the nothingness you see when you close your eyes/

I am every single thing that you fear/

I am that little voice in the back of your mind/

I am that grain of salt inside your tears/

I am what you are afride to see

Because I am you and you are me

FREEDOM:

And an orator said, "Speak to us of Freedom."

And he answered:

At the city gate and by your fireside I have seen you prostrate yourself and worship your own freedom,

Even as slaves humble themselves before a tyrant and praise him though he slays them.

Ay, in the grove of the temple and in the shadow of the citadel I have seen the freest among you wear their freedom as a yoke and a handcuff.

And my heart bled within me; for you can only be free when even the desire of seeking freedom becomes a harness to you, and when you cease to speak of freedom as a goal and a fulfillment.

You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care nor your nights without a want and a grief,

But rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.

And how shall you rise beyond your days and nights unless you break the chains which you at the dawn of your understanding have fastened around your noon hour?

In truth that which you call freedom is the strongest of these chains, though its links glitter in the sun and dazzle the eyes.

And what is it but fragments of your own self you would discard that you may become free?

If it is an unjust law you would abolish, that law was written with your own hand upon your own forehead.

You cannot erase it by burning your law books nor by washing the foreheads of your judges, though you pour the sea upon them.

And if it is a despot you would dethrone, see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed.

For how can a tyrant rule the free and the proud, but for a tyranny in their own freedom and a shame in their won pride?

And if it is a care you would cast off, that care has been chosen by you rather than imposed upon you.

And if it is a fear you would dispel, the seat of that fear is in your heart and not in the hand of the feared.

Verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape.

These things move within you as lights and shadows in pairs that cling.

And when the shadow fades and is no more, the light that lingers becomes a shadow to another light.

And thus your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.

Without freedom still:

We gathered, took time off,

pondered our freedom,

on the anniversary

our Declaration of Independence

when we dissolved the political bonds

when we proclaimed, to the world,

what we hoped for, what we believed in

as a people, set apart,

that we hold these truths to be self-evident,

that we are born equal, each one,

that the creator gave us unalienable rights,

life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

How wondrous are those words,

how much we have achieved

casting off the chains that hold us back

how far we have to go; but

We are free, by most measures

How hard life must be

in the many places on the globe

where people are not yet free

where there are people still

in the grip of slavery, in bondage,

in fear for their lives,

for their children’s lives

for any kind of future

for religious persecution,

indiscriminant death

How blind we are,

to the realities around the world

How silent we are

to the evil that stalks this sphere

How much more we could do

if we took our freedoms more seriously

and invested in justice

to the four corners

of this troubled planet
