“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)
