Well, I think everybody is frustrated by the finances of the U.N. and the inability to solve problems of war and peace.

We're going to keep trying to strengthen the American family, to make them more like the Waltons and less like the Simpsons.

It's too much show business and too much prompting, too much artificiality, and not really debates. They're rehearsed appearances.

Nearly all Americans have ancestors who braved the oceans-liberty-loving risk takers in search of an ideal-the largest voluntary migrations in recorded history. Across the Pacific, across the Atlantic, they came from every point on the compass-many passing beneath the Statue of Liberty-with fear and vision, with sorrow and adventure, fleeing tyranny or terror, seeking haven, and all seeking hope...Immigration is not just a link to America's past; it's also a bridge to America's future.

The anchor in our world today is freedom, holding us steady in times of change, a symbol of hope to all the world.

I'll be glad to reply to or dodge your questions, depending on what I think will help our election most.

We are a nation of communities... a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky.
