I've traveled with Jack Murtha to Iraq three times to learn more about the region, talk with our diplomats and military leaders, and meet with our troops. Those visits are the main reason that I opposed the War in Iraq since its inception.
examine future kinds measure needs
With these kinds of proposals, the devil is in the details. We're going to examine this realignment closely. We will fight any measure that compromises our needs - now or in the future.
children school common-sense
I would rather be erring on the side of common-sense pragmatism and doing everything possible so that I felt that no stone was left unturned in terms of trying to protect school children.
drug interest
It's wrong to put the drug lobby's interests ahead of older Americans.

It's dishonest to say we're doing everything we can for our seniors when there is so much more we can.

Americans count on the guaranteed benefits they paid for under Medicare.

Americans want to be exposed to the opportunities that a changing world can offer.

Globalization doesn't have to be a bad thing as long as government provides us all with the tools to cope in a changing world.

Globalization is not a monolithic force but an evolving set of consequences - some good, some bad and some unintended. It is the new reality.

As all Americans head forward into the new reality globalization has created, they want leaders who will level with them and help level the playing field.

Career Education is one of the largest global providers in the higher education sector. We are projecting to be over $1.1 billion in revenue in 2003, which puts us number one in our sector for onsite education and number two for online education in terms of revenue.
successful order marketing
We're looking to have the ability to come in and be able to capitalize on the marketing in order to grow the top-line. We basically leverage what has worked with our other successful acquisitions - investment in marketing, retention and student services.
