Sitting in front of Independence Hall President Bush and Laura Bush listen to fellow speakers during a past celebration ceremony.222 years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil debate and Presidential election, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure its critics foreign and domestic. We are met on a great battle-field of the present war...the Internet... where citizens with vastly differing points of view vie for the souls and direction of our nation. Those of us who want to preserve the historic freedoms and ambitions of this nation must dedicate ourselves to defending this union for eternal honor to those have given their lives that this nation might survive intact. We must deliver to our sons and daughters the same freedoms of economics, religion, speech and press that we received from our fathers. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this as the bloods of patriots calls to us from the graves.
It is for us the living to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which all who fought for freedom have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from our honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth on November fourth in the year of our Lord two thousand and eight.
We pay tribute and honor to the beloved emancipator Abraham Lincoln and pray that our use of his great speech of the ages as a template for our Independence Day plea will not be in vain.
May God preserve the Republic for our posterity.
