Don't lose sight of American values

It's time to remember the values that America used to represent, and those that made this country admired throughout the world.

The stated rights and laws that protected the citizen from the excesses of government that we spent decades trying to impress upon other countries and peoples, are now being corroded away.

Do not let us be dragged down to the level of those we used to condemn.
