Equality for all.

Obama says the vote Sunday night in Congress is about far more than health care reform. It's about America's character. Yes, it's about whether we start extending health care to an additional 32 million of the uninsured. Yes, a big step toward long overdue universal health care. And about a defining of the common good in a meaningful way. Unfortunately, we still have an elitist society. Composed of haves and have-nots. Yes, an astounding gap between the rich and poor. Between the powerful and the powerless. But I still have a deep abiding faith in America. Give us time, and we Americans will do the right things. We'll start living by our high-sounding credos. Equality for all. --Jim Broede
