Freedom and the power to choose should not be the privilege of wealth. They are the birthright of every American.

I hope I stand for antibigotry, anti-Semitism, antiracism. This is what drives me.

In crucial things, unity. In important things, diversity. In ALL things, generosity.

May God bless those who died and bless their families. With regards, George Bush.

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.

Every problem that the country faces is being solved in some community by some group or some individual. The question is how to get connected so that the whole nation can solve problems. A volunteer is a person who can see what others cannot see; who can feel what most do not feel. Often, such gifted persons do not think of themselves as volunteers, but as citizens - citizens in the fullest sense; partners in civilization.

Every loss of life is terrible.
