    I hope that every American, regardless of where he lives, will stop and examine his conscience about this and other related incidents. This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened. All of us ought to have the right to be treated as he would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children to be treated, but this is not the case.

    I know the proponents of this law say that the majority approves of this law, but the majority is not always right. Would women or non-whites have the vote if we listen to the majority of the day, would the non-whites have equal rights (and equal access to churches, housing, restaurants, hotels, retail stores, schools, colleges and yes water fountains) if we listen to the majority of the day? We all know the answer, a resounding, NO!

    Today we are committed to a worldwide struggle to promote and protect the rights of all who wish to be free. In a time of domestic crisis men of good will and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics and do what is right, not what is just popular with the majority. Some men comprehend discrimination by never have experiencing it in their lives, but the majority will only understand after it happens to them.

    Arizona is not the Jim Crow south. Enforcement of immigration laws is not the same as enforcement of Jim Crow laws. Why is that so many causes today seem to find the need to attach themselves to those important movements and struggles when the comparisons are outlandish? To do so is merely to trivialize the past which was nothing like Arizona's present. Every sovereign nation has the idea of legal and illegal entry into the country. Do you deny this? All Arizona is doing is enforcing federal immigration law, which exists not for some racist or sexist purpose, but so that our nation knows who is coming into this country and for what purpose.
