Words We Like to Hear

Among many important statements on the economy, health care, energy, foreign policy, and other topics, President Obama said these words during his January 27 State of the Union address:

"This year, I will work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are."

We encourage all Americans—Lutherans, too!—to support the president as he works to fulfill this promise.
