I will not be a President who extends tours for our Guard units overseas, while Americans are stranded on rooftops right here at home.

It's time to use the Guard and Reserves responsibly.

When I am president America will once again be the country that stands up to these deplorable tactics.

Torture is not a part of the answer - it is a fundamental part of the problem with this administration's approach.

We will be straight with the American people and true to our values.

Torture is how you get bad information, not good intelligence.

It's time to tell the world that America rejects torture without exception or equivocation.

Torture is how you set back America's standing in the world, not how you strengthen it.

Torture is how you create enemies, not how you defeat them.

The secret authorization of brutal interrogations is an outrageous betrayal of our core values, and a grave danger to our security.

I will not be a President who sends our Guard off to fight in a misguided war, while telling America's governors to hope that a big snowstorm won't hit next winter, or that a tornado won't come through town.

On your interest, dividends and capital gains.

Listen, this is behind us. We will have a new Idaho senator soon. We expect him to resign.

In doing so, I hope to allow a smooth and orderly transition of my loyal staff and for the person appointed to take my place at William E. Borah's desk. I have full confidence that Governor Otter will appoint a successor who will serve…

I will continue to serve Idaho in the United States Senate and there are several reasons for that.

It is with sadness and deep regret that I announce that it is my intent to resign from the Senate effective September 30th.
