We in America can compete successfully with anyone in the world, and we're going to.

I believe the world benefits from American leadership. I believe this next century should be an American century.

I am in favor of stem-cell research. I am not in favor of creating new human embryos through cloning.

Donald Trump trying to do to the American voter what he did to the people that signed up for this course: He's making promises he has no intention of keeping.

America is not better off than it was $1.8 trillion dollars ago.

We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts. I support them. I won't chip away at them. I believe they help protect us and provide for our safety. I'm sure my positions won't make me the hero of the NRA.

The American servicemen and women of the Guard and Reserve leave their jobs, their spouses and their children to wear the uniform that defends our country. This selfless commitment should be honored by businesses across Massachusetts as we work to ensure they are treated fairly while they balance their employment responsibilities and obligations to the armed services. No business should ever put the bottom line ahead of America's front line.
