It's Time To Restore Honor And Dignity

I Believe It Is In The National Interest That Government Stand Side-by-side With People Of Faith Who Work To Change Lives For The Better. I Understand In The Past, Some In Government Have Said Government Cannot Stand Side-by-side With People Of Faith. Let Me Put It More Bluntly, Government Can't Spend Money On Religious Programs Simply Because There's A Rabbi On The Board, Cross On The Wall, Or A Crescent On The Door. I Viewed This As Not Only Bad Social Policy - Because Policy By-passed The Great Works Of Compassion And Healing That Take Place - I Viewed It As Discrimination.

I've Thought A Lot About What It Means To Be The President. I Also Understand An Administration Is Not One Person But An Administration Is Dedicated Citizens Who Are Called By The President To Serve The Country, To Serve A Cause Greater Than Self. And So I've Thought About An Administration Of People Who Represent All America, But People Who Understand My Compassionate And Conservative Philosophy.

I Understand Religion Is A Walk, It's A Journey. And I Fully Recognize That I'm A Sinner, Just Like You.

So Thank You For Reminding Me About The Importance Of Being A Good Mom And A Great Volunteer As Well.
