The freedom to do what is right and good. For yourself and your family. To accomplish dreams. To live securely. To help others. Not by the force of government, but by the goodness of heart. Where rights are not granted by government or claimed by identities, but are unalienable. As members of the human race. Today, americas greatness is challenged by those with extreme notions. Defunding Law Enforcement as lawlessness abounds. Hateful rhetoric telling you what to wear and when you can work. Limiting free speech and freedom of worship. Ideas. Let us restore the values that made America Great. We will make america strong again. Returned to the highest standard. We will make america proud again. A land of freedom of speech and worship. We will make america safe again. Command of security and prosperity. And we will make America Great again. A land of greatness. From washington, d. C. , welcome to the 2020 Republican National convention. Tonight, celebrating america is the land of greatnes

I will be going this weekend and congratulations, thank you for that greatjob out there. We really appreciate it.
