The Best Speech That Nobody Heard About

The best speech at CPAC that nobody heard about was given in Ukranian by the former prime minister. Yulia Tymoshenko delivered a powerful message that reached beyond a foreign language to touch the hearts of those who listened. Tymoshenko , who was given the Ronald Reagan Award, discussed the struggle for freedom and liberty in her country. She talked about Reagan’s hopeful message about a shining city on the hill and tough stance against tyranny, which inspired her to take a stand. Tymoshenko, who led the Orange Revolution, did not have to risk her life to fight against evil forces. Yet, her belief in serving a cause greater then self motivated her to act. Her speech reminded me that US policy decisions have far reaching impacts across the globe. That is why I believe that we must not turn our backs on those who are risking their lives for liberty - like in Iraq. And we should not ignore those who are building their own shining city.
