Lincoln speaks to me

Lincoln in Indiana
Originally uploaded by michael j nolan.

I was back in my hometown of Indianapolis last weekend for my niece's wedding. When I was taking a morning walk, I came across this sign commemorating a speech by Abraham Lincoln.

In words spoken almost 150 years ago by one of my all-time heroes it instructed me to get my ass back to Philadelphia a.s.a.p. and help to ensure John Kerry wins Pennsylvania. The "liberties of this people" are threatened as never before.
