U.S. State Secretaries of State

It is critical that the government take steps to protect public health, improve data gathering and transparency, increase public awareness and education, and make decisions based in fact and hard science.

Then, Mr. Albence, I have asked repeatedly for information on the number and the status of any cases...

Have you taken a professionally administered polygraph test as it relates to this issue?

I want to thank you for your courage, and I want to tell you I believe you. I believe you, and I believe many Americans across this country believe you.

Vouchers do nothing to help student achievement, but do everything to undermine the public schools that 90 percent of children in this Nation attend.

So they are not in that book that you carry.

And it would have been great if you could have said that last night.

Would it be reasonable for someone to question your independence in cases involving the President's civil or criminal liability, should that occur?

I think this could be put to rest.

I received reliable information that you had a conversation about the special counsel or his investigation.

There will have to be some recourse for those voters in these various States if Congress is unwilling to act.
