I like it, but the editor in me had to make a few minor adjustments. I
moved
the We forgive section to the first area as the labeling, rejection, etc.,
I
believe, should come first. Then the fear, doubt, etc., part as coming
after
the discrimination part. I also made some minor but I believe strongly word
crafting. See what you think. (I wasn't hired as an editor for U.S. Dept.
of
Ed publications and taught objective writing at the university level for
nothing :-))

P.S. I cannot get the underlining out of my changes-the changes should not
be underlined, but at least you can see what and where they are. I'm
working
from a borrowed keyboard and computer -mine blew up on Monday and it is
unbelievably slow and weird.



                         We are working with AAPD to produce a
leather-bound book of
tributes to
                         Justin Dart. The entries will be taken from the
guest book
we posted on the
                         site. As part of this, Kenny crafted the following
message
from the "iCan!
                         family."

                         we are labeled, we are rejected, we are isolated,
we are
denied access

                         We forgive

                         we fear, we doubt, we get discouraged, we take
pride, we
protest

                         We love

                         we question, we probe, we rebel, we pray, we fight
within
our ranks, we
                         seek justice, we struggle

                         We change the world

                         We do not ask for permission to succeed for we
know what is
right:

                         quality of life, quality for self, civil rights
for all, and
equal access to

                         the American Dream is a birth right; and those
that work
against it are society's enemy.

                         We are soldiers, we are patriots, we have lost one
of our
finest leaders--Justin Dart. Courage personified.

                         We mourn, we heal, we draw strength from the life
of a
revolutionary-

                         We Lead On!
