Under the law, we are not black, hispanic, or white; gay or straight; naturalized or natural-born; man or woman; liberal or conservative; Republican or Democrat--We Are Americans, each entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We are constantly moving closer and closer to that more perfect union the Founding Fathers envisioned when they put pen to paper to declare our independence over 200 years ago." -Marta Jorgensen
