Let us move forward with strong and active faith.

These unhappy times call for the building of plans that build from the bottom up and not from the top down, that put their faith once more in the forgotten man at the bottom of the economic pyramid.
Oh Lord, give us faith... Give us faith in each other; faith in our united crusade.
