Building a Greater America

When I value your free speech as much as my own,                                                                                              regardless of its accent, dissent, pitch, or its tone;

When everyone born on American soil becomes an heir,                                                                                      and every legalized foreigner works to earn his fair share;

When the life of the helpless unborn is loved and treasured;                                                                           When the innocent and silent little ones are protected and secured;                                                                        

When "You and Yours" become transformed into "We and Ours";                                                                    When the words  "We the people" recorded by the founding fathers                                                              

become more than an intent and an ideal for some, but a quest for all;                                                                       When the life of every American soldier is honored  at home and abroad;   

When the life of the richest Americans at the top is no more valuable                                                                                                 than the poorest Americans, homeless and hungry at the bottom;

When the pursuit of happiness is not defined by pride of possessions;                                                                              When happiness becomes synonymous to pursuing God and loving people;

When these '10 Whens' and more become commonplace in America,                                                                               we can be sure that indeed, we are building an even Greater America.
