“Just get up off the ground, that’s

all I ask. Get up there with that

lady that is up on top of this Capitol

dome–that lady that stands for

liberty, take a look at this country

through her eyes if you really want

to see something and you won’t just

see scenery–you’ll see the whole

parade of what man’s carved out for

himself after centuries of fighting

and fighting for something better

than just jungle law; fighting so’s

he can stand on his own two feet–

free and decent, like he was created–

no matter what his race, color or

creed. That’s what you’ll see. There’s

no place out there for graft or greed

or lies or compromise with human

liberties. ” (from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington)
