I'm Free. I'm Free To Say What

When Nearly A Third Of Our High School Students Do Not Graduate On Time With Their Peers, We Have Work To Do. We Must Design Our Middle And High Schools So That No Student Gets Lost In The Crowd And Disconnected From His Or Her Own Potential.

Surely No Issue Unites Us More Than Our Appreciation For Our Military Personnel Who Are Bringing Aid To Devastated Countries, Defending Us Against Terrorism, And Fighting To Make A Free Election Possible In Iraq.

We Are Thinking Ahead To Long-term Care, Aware That Many Folks Don't Plan Ahead And Won't Be Ready. We Want To See To It That People Will Have Choices.

It Is Up To Us To Live Up To The Legacy That Was Left For Us, And To Leave A Legacy That Is Worthy Of Our Children And Of Future Generations.

We Can Leave Our Legacy Only If We Are Willing To Change - To Go Beyond Partisan Labels, And To Solve The Problems Facing Washingtonians.
