We have been blessed with a healthy growing economy with more Americans going back to work and with our Nation acting as a positive force for good in the world.

I'm pleased to offer analysis of public policy and politics to the millions of Americans who get their news from Fox.

The tax issue is the most powerful issue in American politics going back to the Tea Party. People say 'Oh Grover Norquist has power.' No. Grover Norquist and Americans for Tax Reform focus on the tax issue. The tax issue is a powerful issue.

African-Americans who might have disagreed with candidate Obama's left-of-center politics voted for him in 2008 because electing a candidate with brown skin was too historic an opportunity to miss.

First I think more Americans need to declare their independence from partisan politics on both sides. The more that Americans declare their independence the more the parties will have to compete for their votes using reason rather than the hateful appeals.

There is an urgent need for Americans to look deeply into themselves and their actions and musical poetry is perhaps the most effective mirror available. Every newspaper headline is a potential song.

We are a Nation of peace and compassion yet these people have and will devote every fiber of their beings to the destruction of Americans and our Country.

But now Americans they felt a sense of peace and protection because they've been separated by so many thousands of miles of ocean. And you know the fact that it's come to the U.S. like this is so sad and yet you know what can you do? It's here.

With the help of dedicated Americans from our party every party and no party at all I intend to mount that stairway to preach peace for our nation and world.

In addition to serving overseas the Peace Corps' Crisis Corps Volunteers have helped their fellow Americans.
