"While fighting terrorism through legislation like the Patriot Act is important, we must retain an individual’s right to privacy as well.
"Access to quality legal services for all citizens is a concern, so we must broaden our scope of services.
"With the technology and complexity of our global society, we must clearly draw the line between government and private citizenship.
"Focusing on what makes us human can begin the conversation about what makes us different.
"Through empathy and tolerance we can begin to mitigate the instances of violence and misunderstanding.
"We must give the institutions that protect our freedoms the resources to reach as many people as possible.
"We have a right to live in a violence-free world and it is everyone’s responsibility to work toward this goal.
"Exposure to the diversity of our species leads to constructive dialogue, rather than conflict.
"While fighting terrorism through legislation like the Patriot Act is important, we must retain an individual’s right to privacy as well.
"Our Constitution provides for equal rights under the law for all, and we must work toward guaranteeing that this is upheld.
"We must give the institutions that protect our freedoms the resources to reach as many people as possible.
"Creating a culture of understanding and peace will bring about a world free of conflict and violence.
