Equality for the Nation
In the Declaration of Independence are 35 simple words that have served as my guiding principle throughout my years of public service. Follow them, and you will never go wrong in whatever path you choose:
“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- ”

I returned home from the war with a resolve to do all that I could to bring justice to those Japanese Americans who were unjustly mistreated by our nation.
