| Sharon Stone on Pennsylvanians, the Liberty Bell and the American dream |
| 2009-01-25 |
| At a presidential inaugural gala for Pennsylvanians last night, actress Sharon Stone, a native of the Keystone State, stopped by to rouse the crowd about her home state. Here are excerpts of her speech: "Do you know that our state has more natural resources than almost anywhere else in America? We have oil. Do you know that Pennsylvania has the first oil well ever drilled anywhere in the world? At Drake's Well. We have oil. We have natural gas. We have water. We have lakes. We have milk. We have forests. We have football. ... We have anthracite. We have coal workers. We have railroad workers. We have factory workers. We have moms. We have single moms. Do you know what else we have? We have dignity. We have honor. ... When we came across the seas, we brought the Liberty Bell. We brought the Liberty Bell from another nation with us because we brought the American dream...." "That bell had a crack in it. And so you know what Pennsylvanians did when that bell had a crack in it? We melted it down. And we built it again. Because Pennsylvanians know what to do when the going gets tough. We fix it. We fix it. ... Because Pennsylvanians know it's not how you fall; it's how you get up. ... And you know what happened with that Liberty Bell when they did it again? It didn't ring. So you know what we did? We melted that sucker down again, and we built it again because that's what Pennsylvanians do.twice ,eh We don't give up when it doesn't work. We do it again. Because Pennsylvanians know what to do when the going gets tough. When we fall down, we get up. Hand by hand. Family by family. City by city. Country by country. ..." "We didn't say 'yes we can' just for this president. We said 'yes we can' for every family. 'Yes we can' for every child. 'Yes we can' for every state. We know we're world citizens. And do you know why we know we're world citizens? Because Pennsylvania carried that Liberty Bell over here originally from a place far away, from another country. We carried the American dream over here from another country. We didn't carry it over here just for a bell for an American dream. We carried that bell over here for an American reality. So I'm here to ask you a question. Are we going to ring that bell and turn that American dream into an American reality? And I'm going to ask you, can you turn that American dream into an American reality?" |
