"This is a time when America needs moral leadership, and not political leadership."

“And so as much as we want to point a finger at people who are elected to positions, which is justified, I also want to ask a lot of other powerful people in this country who are remaining silent. We’ve seen what many corporate leaders are doing right now—instead of speaking up and speaking truth, they’re kowtowing for their own private deals.”

“When Are More Americans Going to Speak Up?”

Preach! PREACH!! Spread the truth.

is that the truth you are agreeing with, that more American people need to speak up? And not just react-comment and insult Americans, but speak up asserting goodness?

Yes, I am motivated by your words, and yes, more American's need to speak up. Sorry that was confusing.
