The 1990 US Census states
that 92% of all American Citizens are native born.
Check Other American believes all citizens of the
United States of America are, quite simply, Americans, no matter
what their ethnic background, socioeconomic status, gender or any of
the countless other boundaries which have previously determined
societal standing.
Check Other American believes family history,
heritage and traditions are important and should be embraced and
passed from generation to generation. It is not our goal to
encourage people to forget or otherwise neglect their individual
heritage; instead, we feel it must first be acknowledged that all
Americans are simply Americans first.
Check Other American believes true American equality
can only be achieved after we collectively stop drawing lines of
separation between ourselves and insist our government stops drawing
those lines as well.
Check Other American believes, as Americans, we are
all equally entitled to "life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness." We all have an equal right to strive toward the American
dream, whatever we choose to make that dream.
Check Other American believes the diversity of the
American citizenry makes us remarkable in the world spectrum.
American diversity should be celebrated, not a basis for
injustice.
