THE AMERICAN WAY as it should be Common Ground Common Cause Common Sense!	A voice of the Natural Association for the Advancement of All People	LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! Patriotism Nationalism AND Tolerance Understanding
	What is the NAAAP? The Patriots' Rededication Address "Where reason sits enthroned God reigns" BRANN	FEATURING CAMDEN'S Commentary

THERE HAS NOT YET BEEN A PERFECTLY JUST SOCIETY IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND. WE CAN ONLY STRIVE FOR THAT IDEAL. INJUSTICES OF THE PAST CANNOT BE REMEDIED BY HEAPING BLAME ON ONE CLASS OF PEOPLE AND FAVOR UPON OTHERS. TO DO SO MERELY TRANSFERS INJUSTICE FROM ONE GROUP TO ANOTHER, AND OPENS WIDER CHASMS BETWEEN GROUPS COMPETING FOR EXCLUSION OR ADVANTAGE, FOR WHATEVER REASON. IF A "VICTIM CLASS" IS ACKNOWLEDGED, A VICTIM CLASS THERE WILL ALWAYS BE. ENOUGH OF NAACPs AND NAAWPs! LET'S THINK IN TERMS OF THE ADVANCEMENT OF ALL PEOPLE EQUALLY, TRULY WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, CREED, COLOR, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN! 
    IF WE ARE CHRISTIANS WE FORGIVE THE SINS OF THE PAST AND MOVE ON TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE TOGETHER—AS ONE PEOPLE. WE USE THE TERM "CHRISTIAN," NOT AS A NARROW RELIGIOUS DESIGNATION, BUT A BROAD SOCIAL AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY (THE VERY BASIS FOR, AND WELLSPRING OF, CLASSIC LIBERALISM IN THE WESTERN WORLD — ENTAILING UNIVERSAL RESPECT FOR OUR FELLOWS, OF WHATEVER FAITH, WITH BROTHERLY LOVE FOR ALL. UNDERSTANDING, TOLERANCE, AND FORGIVENESS FOR ALL IS OUR GOVERNING CREED).
