We can raise the standard by which we live.  Yes we can.  I feel very strongly that it is time for each and every one of us to take a stand for what we know is right.  We have allowed the standard by which we live as a nation, family and people to sink to an all time low.  Just because we are in a recession doesn’t mean that we have to forget our morals.  Love conquers all and peace is what we need much more of.  If you and I commit to raising the standard just a little bit, this world will be a much better place to live for us all.  United we stand, divided we fall.  Let us rise and raise the standard together for ourselves and our children.  I know we can do it, yes we can!
