If we want to meet our obligation as a generation, as a civilization, as a nation, we must create communities for our children that offer the same opportunities for dignity, enrichment, prosperity, and good health as the communities our parents provided for us. |
|
To achieve this, we must begin by protecting our environment: the air we breathe, the water we drink, the wildlife, the fisheries, and the public lands. |
|
These are not mere properties but belong to all of us—the commons, the commonwealth, the landscapes, and waterways that connect us to the 10,000 generations before the era of laptops, and ultimately to God. |
|
God communicates with human beings through many vectors: through each other, organized religion, the great books of those religions, wise people, art, music, literature, and poetry. Yet, He does so nowhere with such detail, grace, color, and joy as through creation. |
|
When we destroy a species or a special place, we diminish our capacity to sense the divine, to understand who God is, and what our own potential is as human beings. |
|
I believe we deserve a President who cares deeply about these issues and discusses them openly with the American people. |
|
I am committed to preserving our environmental heritage for future generations and need your support to make this vision a reality. |
