The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: Initiative Imagination Individuality and Independence.

When I think about the world I would like to leave to my daughter and the grandchildren I hope to have it is a world that moves away from unequal unstable unsustainable interdependence to integrated communities - locally nationally and globally - that share the characteristics of all successful communities.

At times we were forced to go through a history of dependence unable to determine our own destiny. But today we are at the threshold of a new turning point.

While Haiti has recently celebrated more than 200 years of independence from French colonial rule the citizens of the island remain vulnerable to poverty poor health and political chaos.

The independence of all political and other bother is a happiness.

Independence is happiness.

You've got the Democratic Party that now depends on more government spending and actual building the dependence on government in order to increase their political party.

The Declaration of Independence says when government fails the people have the right to replace it. Well New York State government has failed and the people have the right indeed the people have the the people have the obligation to act.

It matters enormously to a successful democratic society like ours that we have three branches of government each with some independence and some control over the other two. That's set out in the Constitution.

We believe in government involvement that leads to independence: good schools quality roads and the best health care.
