There once was a great man who exaplained what Democrats are not standing for. He did this in the most middle of the road, simple manner. He summed up all that we are fighting for, and illustrated how these matter to that elusive creature – the Red State Voter.
He knew we were fighting for:
Freedom of Speech
Freedom from Fear
Freedom to Worship
Freedom from Want
These were the core of the great social contract. This is what the great divide in American, what the fight is about.
Freedom of Speech
Can we criticize the President without being destroyed? Do we risk the ones we love, even the safety of the nation, if we speak up as did Joe Wilson?
Freedom from Fear
Will we live our lives afraid, cowering from the next attack? Or will we follow in the greatest footsteps, and live free from fear?
Freedom to Worship
Is there one law from one God? If the Unitarians and the Presbyterians and the Catholics disagree on a topic, is the answer to change the Constitution to declare one Chruch right?
Freedom from Want
We are a great and rich nation. We have elminated homelessness before. We can again. We have re-envisioned and rebuilt the nation. Shall we be two Americans, one burdened by want and one free from all fetters?
His name was Norman Rockwell. Don’t let the daily reports of corruption undermine the true value of our fight. There are two choices: freedom from fear, freedom from want, freedom of speech and freedom of worship. The other choice is fear, obedience, corruption, and legislation of a single view of the face of One Lord Almighty.

We have got to remember this and communicate it, even amidst the daily news.
