I have tremendous admiration for everyone who enters the political arena so long as their goal is to do what they believe is right for the people of New York.

We have been actively trying to have New York City host the 2012 Olympics.

What better day to lay the cornerstone of the Freedom Tower than the day our country declared its independence.

We need a President that all Americans can respect, not a celebrity who uses words like freedom and liberty like they are a punchline in a reality show.

Larry Silverstein has betrayed the public's trust and that of all New Yorkers.

Obviously you follow the law of the land, there are many laws I disagree with, but you follow the law. You fight to change the law, you don't break the law. I believe that's the American way.

Let's make New York the safest state in America - that must be our goal. Let's achieve it together.
