Thomas Hobbs wrote on man and speech, why we find it so necessary to have such elaborate speech (languages). The calls of similar species across the world are the same, while man kinds is so vast. I understand the signification of speech, "constituted" by words.
The U.S constitution is defined as "The work of many minds, the U. S. Constitution stands as a model of cooperative statesmanship and the art of compromise".
Then let us do as such.
My family suffers, and I don't mean my immediate family. I refer to us all who carry this cross, lifted above our shoulders, despite the aching pain...wondering if we shall ever sit at the commune table and break bread again. I, like many others know only the United States of America. I, like my ailing brother who is in need of psychiatric care, yet sits in confinement while he awaits deportation only know America.
We are the United states of America, for how can you begin to tell the story of our forefathers, the many of doctrines, the many defining points of these United States with our omittance? It cannot be done.
I write not just to President Obama, but to all council of citizens. My parents, as well as many of your ancestors embarked upon a journey to the United States of America, as one would pursue a long lost love. What is so foul about that intent? If a man swims the seas to behold a woman that he chooses to love, honor and cherish...do we not weep in love and admiration? What is so foul about his intent?
I write this letter because I weep for my brother, and my many brothers and sisters. I weep for the States of America that forgo United. Let us sit in commune and once again construct a model of cooperative statesmanship that signifies the art of a most beautiful compromise.
This letter was sent to the white House and to the Department of State.
Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
