“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal…”

Thus begins Abraham Lincoln’s now famous Gettysburg Address, one of the most quoted political speeches in history. Delivered at the dedication of Soldier’s National Cemetery on the actual Gettysburg battlefield site, Lincoln asks the American people to not forget the cause for which these brave men gave their lives, and “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

On February 12, 2009 America celebrates the 200th birthday of this outstanding man, the 16th President of our United States. Remembered today as the “Great Emancipator,” Lincoln led our country through its greatest internal crisis, the Civil War, preserved the Union and abolished slavery. As the first U.S. President to be assassinated in office, he also sacrificed his life in service. Mourned nationally at his death and ranked today as one of our best Presidents, Lincoln’s legacy is one of true Aquarian principles: liberty, equality and justice for all. Let us remember how far we’ve come and how grateful we are. And let’s reignite our commitment to a government of, by and for the people. God bless ole honest Abe, he's a fabulous example of humanitarian Aquarianism. And Happy Valentine's Day! Celebrate a true Aquarian holiday, and give your love to the world!
