I Want To Build A Bridge To The 21st Century In Which We Create A Strong And Growing Economy To Preserve The Legacy Of Opportunity For The Next Generation By Balancing Our Budget In A Way That Protects Our Values And Ensuring That Every Family Will Be Able To Own And Protect The Value Of Their Most Important Asset, Their Home.

Our Generation, Like The One Before Us, Must Choose. Without The Threat Of The Cold War, Without The Pain Of Economic Ruin, Without The Fresh Memory Of World War Ii's Slaughter, It Is Tempting To Pursue Our Private Agendas -- To Simply Sit Back And Let History Unfold. We Must Resist The Temptation.

Our Nation Owes A Lasting Debt Of Gratitude To All Those Selfless Members Of Our Armed Forces Who Have Risked Their Own Freedom And Safety To Defend The The Lives And Liberty Of Others.
