Democracy is interactive... Its a constant job of information, education, explanation, listening, and interactive communication.

Eventually I foresee voting on the Internet, which will lead to much more direct democracy.

I share the administration's goals in dealing with Iraq and its weapons of mass destruction.

You know, when you're in public life, everything you do is out there. But I am proud to stand on my record.

I was raised in a working class family of Baptist faith, and I went to college on a church scholarship where early teachings were reinforced. Abortion was wrong, I was taught.

I grew up in the '50s and '60s when Jack Kennedy was president. We would watch him on television. And our teachers always talked about the good things public servants could do. I thought maybe that's something I should do. So when I got out of law school, my wife, Jane, and I became precinct captains.

I'm running for president because I've had enough of the oil barons, the status-quo apologists, the special-interest lobbyists running amok.
