The object of my relationship with Vietnam has been to heal the wounds that exist particularly among our veterans and to move forward with a positive relationship ... Apparently some in the Vietnamese government don't want to do that and that's their decision.

I also rise today in strong support of forward movement on the implementation of health information technology which has the potential to save the United States billions of dollars in health care costs each year.

I look forward to working with our leadership team to advance the causes of smaller government lower taxes eliminating terrorism and providing affordable health care among other issues.

Remember our proud history of social justice universal health care public pensions and making sure no one is left behind. Let's continue to move forward.

As a single-payer advocate I believe that at the end of the day if a state goes forward and passed an effective single-payer program it will demonstrate that you can provide quality health care to every man woman and child in a more cost-effective way.

There is a consensus of willing leaders from both parties coalescing around the right way forward in health care. Reform should address government-imposed inequities and barriers to true choice and competition.

The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent and he is never bored and life is only too short and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.

Wouldn't it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?

It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers but for powers equal to our tasks to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.

If it is wrong for you to take money from someone else who earned it to take their money by force for your own needs then it is certainly just as wrong for you to demand that the government step forward and do this dirty work for you.
