For all of its uncertainty, we cannot flee the future.

We are a people in a quandary about the present. We are a people in search of our future. We are a people in search of a national community.

What the people want is very simple - they want an America as good as its promise.

A government is invigorated when each of us is willing to participate in shaping the future of this nation.

Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment.

A nation is formed by the willingness of each of us to share in the responsibility for upholding the common good.
