Every proposal I'm making, every idea I'm advancing has a single, central purpose: to revive a failing economy and give working Americans the help and security they need.

I've thought a lot about the world and how George Bush sees the world and it ain't even close.

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 think it's time we had a president who carried the same life experiences into the White House as most ordinary Americans.

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

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