Quote of the Week

“And while there will be time enough to
debate our continuing differences, now is the time to recognize that that which
unites us is greater than that which divides us. While we yet hold and do not
yield our opposing beliefs, there is a higher duty than the one we owe to
political party. 
This is America and we put country before party.”
    
–  Al Gore December, 2000
