We need to fund No Child Left Behind. We need to start at the beginning and we are not doing the job here in the United States of America.

Obviously, I have certain policy positions that I push and advocate for that would benefit people dealing in a system that breeds inequality and makes life more difficult for people.

I am a firm believer in the mission of the health centers, which offer cost-effective comprehensive primary and preventive services to at-risk people.

While the political debate over abortion will continue for a very long time, the federal government can and should be doing more to support programs and services that provide women with better options.

And I believe that if we can care about whether or not our neighbor has a good job or access to affordable health care for their children, and we move to implement the policies that can improve these situations, we will unleash vast amounts of human potential and recapture the American spirit.

We were told that all this new high technology, all these new high-tech jobs that we were going to be creating here in the United States of America would stay here, so our people would benefit with the jobs and health care and everything else.

It is past time for the U.S. government to fully fulfill our moral obligation to those who have fought for freedom and democracy.
