I'm tired of watching the Democrats and Republicans in Washington play political games while millions of Americans remain uninsured.

Because the best way to show our gratitude for what we have is by doing our part for those who have less.

As a result of rising costs on everything from health care to gasoline, more and more Americans can't afford to put food on the table.

That is unacceptable in this country, of all countries.

And while we're at it, let's strengthen the Emergency Food Assistance Program, the Food Stamp Program and the Commodity Supplemental Food Programs and launch additional anti-hunger initiatives to help ensure that no American goes hungry.

To help address this, we need to stand up to the special interests, bring Republicans and Democrats together, and pass the Farm Bill immediately.

As Americans gather with family and friends and reflect on what we're thankful for, let's all do our part to help the growing number of people who have no place to go for a meal on Thanksgiving - or any other day.

We are not a 'these kids' nation.

Every child deserves what the wisest parents want for their own youngsters.

We have to set high standards for them, and spend time with them, and love them.

I am running for President of the United States because I want to give every American child the same chances that I had.

There is no reason we can't and shouldn't replicate this all across America.

It is now our moment to keep that promise - the promise of America - alive in the 21st century.

I have presented a smart, progressive and ambitious agenda to provide every child in America with a truly excellent education.

We are honored to have the support of such a dedicated leader in the community.

I want to lead a new era of mutual responsibility in education.

We are not a ‘these kids' nation.

My plan sets an agenda that can meet the challenges of the future.
