My statement in favor of protecting the 14th Amendment

In my country, there is no official language, so my government can't tell me what to say.

There is no official religion, so my government can't tell me what to believe or to think.

And everyone born here is a citizen, so the government can't pick and choose who gets rights, based on who our parents are.

These are not problems with America. These are the strengths that make our country great, and each of us, as Americans, should accept the responsibility to protect them.

I'm pasting the above to my Facebook profile today, and I invite you to copy-and-paste these sentiments around the Internet as well, as a statement against the religious fundamentalists in our country who disagree with them. Thank you.
