Saturday, September 3, 2022, First Quarter Moon after Ganesh Chaturthi and after USA President Biden’s speech in Independence Hall in the city of Brotherly Love

…”The soul of America is defined by the sacred proposition that all are created equal in the image of God.  That all are entitled to be treated with decency, dignity, and respect.  That all deserve justice and a shot at lives of prosperity and consequence.  And that democracy — democracy must be defended, for democracy makes all these things possible.  (Applause.)  Folks, and it’s up to us.
 
Democracy begins and will be preserved in we, the people’s, habits of heart, in our character: optimism that is tested
yet endures, courage that digs deep when we need it, empathy that fuels democracy, the willingness to see each other not as enemies but as fellow Americans.”

-Remarks by President Biden on the continued battle for the soul of the nation, Independence Hall, Independence National Historical Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 1, 2022.
