My Thought For Today

Regarding the disruption of Hindu priest Mr. Rajan Zed's prayer opening the Senate's July 12th session: I am a practicing Hindu and at first I felt that this disruption was deeply disturbing. But I have gone through a process which was deeply personal and deeply religious.

To those who were protesting I say this:

I forgive you.

To those who were hurt by the protest I say this:

Let us not let the actions of a few keep us from marking this historic moment. Let us celebrate our great nation:

E pluribus unum.
