We are giving assurance to the American families that help is on its way.
Integrity is the lifeblood of democracy. Deceit is a poison in its veins.
The Constitution does not just protect those whose views we share; it also protects those with whose views we disagree.
The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die.
For all my years in public life, I have believed that America must sail toward the shores of liberty and justice for all. There is no end to that journey, only the next great voyage. We know the future will outlast all of us, but I believe that all of us will live on in the future we make.
