I Grew Up With A Christmas Tree,

2004 Was A Great Year For Boston! The Patriots Won The Super Bowl! Boston Hosted Its First National Political Convention! And - The Red Sox Won The World Series!

For Every $5 That Boston's Economy Sends Up To Beacon Hill, The State Gives Only $1 Back To Us.

Tonight, I Am Pleased To Announce That I Have Secured $1 Million From The Convention Host Committee To Fund The Beautification Of Boston's Neighborhoods.

Here's What I See All Across This Great City - People Working Together To Make Boston A Better Place To Live And To Raise Children, To Grow And Pursue Dreams.

Boston Is Safe. And We're Going To Keep It Safe.
