I don't think America can just drill itself out of its current energy situation. We don't need to destroy the environment to meet our energy needs. We need smart, comprehensive, common-sense approaches that balance the need to increase domestic energy supplies with the need to maximize energy efficiency.
The city of Hiroshima stands as more than a monument to massive death and destruction. It stands as a living testament to the necessity for progress toward nuclear disarmament.
We should stop the non-scientific, pseudo-scientific, and anti-scientific nonsense emanating from the right wing, and start demanding immediate action to reduce global warming and prevent catastrophic climate change that may be on our horizon now. We must not let the [Bush] Administration distort science and rewrite and manipulate scientific reports in other areas. We must not let it turn the Environmental Protection Agency into the Environmental Pollution Agency.
In appointing the next nominee, (Bush) must listen to all Americans, not just the far right.
The administration's policies are dividing us on race and dividing us on riches and that is basic, fundamentally wrong.
The administration has to abolish its 'my-way-or-the-highway' attitude,
They have undermined America's prestige and credibility in the world, and undermined the trust that Americans should and must have in what their nation tells them. How many will doubt a future claim of danger even if it is real?
They won't tell American people what they want to know: when the Iraqi security forces will be fully capable of fighting on their own. That's the key to achieving victory.
The nation lost a courageous woman and a true American hero. A half century ago, Rosa Parks stood up not only for herself, but for generations upon generations of Americans.
I'm deeply troubled by a narrow and cramped and perhaps even a mean-spirited view of the law that appears in some of your writings, ... It appears you did not fully appreciate the problem of discrimination in our society.
I hope we can come together as Americans to deal with this issue. It is that spirit we hope to capture.
I hope the president will select someone who meets the high standards that she set and that can bring the nation together, as she did,
I hope the next nominee selected meets the high standards set by Justice O'Connor, reveres and treasures the freedoms on which our nation was built, and can bring the nation together as she has done often.
No matter how many times the Administration denies it, there is no question they misled the nation and led us into a quagmire in Iraq.
