6. As President of the United States, how will you exemplify leadership domestically and internationally toward the fulfillment of "the beloved community"? What do you intend to do to end the war in Iraq?
I believe that at the heart of Dr. King's ideal of the beloved community is the notion that we are all connected – that we are all on the same journey, that the only way forward is together, and that our freedom is never fully realized until it's fully shared. My faith teaches me that we fulfill this vision by answering the call to love one another – the kind of love described in Corinthians that "bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." Love that is strong enough to serve as the foundation and motivation for action. Because Scripture also tells us we cannot just be hearers of the word, we must be doers, and that "faith without works is dead."
If we truly love our brothers and sisters, we can no longer tolerate 36 million of them living in poverty, 47 million of them living without health care, and so many millions who never have the chance to fulfill their God-given potential. Because while we may have an income gap, and a health care gap, and an achievement gap, there is one thing we don't have: A potential gap.
As President, it will be my mission to capture that potential and inspire a movement of works to build the beloved community. That means creating good jobs with good wages, because no hardworking mother or father should ever have to raise a child in poverty. It means building an education system worthy of our children, from pre-kindergarten all the way to affordable college, so that every child will have the tools to build the life of his or her dreams. It means finally providing health care for every American, because it is a disgrace that a sick child in this country can't see a doctor and that many people receive their primary care in an emergency room. And that means ending the war in Iraq and restoring America's moral voice and moral leadership around the world.
We have our work cut out for us. There is no precedent for the challenges we face today. This is uncharted territory. But that is always the place where progress is made. We've learned over these past 220 years that perfecting our democracy isn't easy – but we get better as we go. And I know that we will find our way together, we will defy the odds together, and, together, we will fulfill the promise of this country that we love.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
