“I am running for President of the United States to enable the goddess of peace to encircle within her reach all the children of this country and all the children of the world.”

I looked up the whole article (well, a repost it seems) and it was great. I especially liked the text surrounding your quote:

…
In these proposals, we see the deeper meaning of a sculpture which towers over the entrance of the House of Representatives: A woman’s arm is outstretched, protecting a child who sits blissfully atop a pile of books. This artwork which is at the center of our national experience, as we pass through into the House of Representatives everyday. This artwork of a woman, arm protecting child, this artwork is entitled, “Peace, Protecting Genius” Peace protecting genius. Not through nuclear arms, but with the arms of eternal love the child genius is protected, and the child genius achieves peace through love and through education.

I am running for President of the United States to enable the goddess of peace to encircle within her reach all the children of this country and all the children of the world. And to protect our children from poverty and war, to hold them in the light of grace, and to hold them in the power of peace. I am running to challenge that system! We will challenge that system! We will change the system!

I am running for President of the United States to challenge this system which traps so many of Americans, children and adults, in fear, in violence and poverty and makes us pay for wars we don’t want and causes us to sacrifice our childrens’ future.
