Yes we can...

Some powerful words.. Words that can motivate a child to keep kicking a ball during a soccer game or change the course of a political campaign...

Yes we can...

Rhetoric is communication that attempts to coordinate social action. For this reason, rhetorical communication is explicitly pragmatic. Its goal is to influence human choices on specific matters that require immediate attention. (Definition from Gerard A. Hauser)

Yes we can...our world, our nation, our community requires our immediate attention. Do not let this opportunity pass you by. THIS is not hollow rhetoric.
