I see a New York that is once again the empire state.

I want everyone in the Republican party who opposed me to know this: you are welcome to join this people's crusade. Come aboard. You are both welcome and needed. If we unite, we'll win - and we'll rebuild New York.

I see a New York where people who are down on their luck can get back on the road to responsibility, a job and dignity.

I see a New York where there is no barrier to the God-given potential of every New Yorker. I see a New York where everyone who wants a good job can find one. I see a New York where the people can believe in a grounded government again.

I just think my children and your children would be much better off and much more successful getting married and raising a family, and I don't want them brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option. It isn't.

Don't misquote me as wanting to hurt homosexual people in any way. That would be a dastardly lie.

I believe in the American Dream because I have lived the American Dream.
