I'm free. I'm free to say what I feel.

Surely no issue unites us more than our appreciation for our military personnel who are bringing aid to devastated countries, defending us against terrorism, and fighting to make a free election possible in Iraq.

Truly, the challenges we face are not Democratic challenges or Republican challenges. In fact, they are not political challenges at all; they are fiscal challenges, and educational challenges, and the challenges of figuring out how to take care of each other...

We all leave personal legacies for the people we know and love.

Education can lift individuals out of poverty and into rewarding careers.

Education is the foundation upon which we build our future.

It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.
