NEW YORK, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The following are remarks by Stephen
McDonald as prepared for delivery at the 2004 Republican National Convention:
I am like so many of you.
Every day I live to serve and every day I serve to live. In a lifetime of
transforming events both hopeful and fateful: one thing is constant -- my need
to serve. Serving as a United States Navy Corpsman.
Serving this great city as a New York City police officer. Then, and
especially now, I have followed St. Paul's guidance that all of us really walk
by faith.
Today, because of President Bush's leadership and values, we are now
recognizing and promoting the good works of America's faith-based and
community organizations which help the youngest and oldest, the poorest and
weakest among us.
The federal government is no longer discriminating against charitable
groups with a religious mission -- it is welcoming them as partners. I am
proud to be an American led by a President who makes sure that the promise of
America is not the privilege of a few, but the birthright of all.
As a Democrat who is putting principle over politics, I say we need
President Bush to secure our future.
Thank you.
Earlier today, many delegates and convention guests participated in more
than 25 service projects around New York City.
Here's a look at some of the community service they did ...
