It gives us a chance to really do something important.

Politics at its best is about values, ideas, and action.

We must act and act now to save Social Security.

If I can determine anything else I can do, believe me, I will do it.

We must take these steps now.

We need to do more.

Now is the time to seize it, before the moment fades.

We need to bear down and do more.

Just think what we could do.

I think all of you are going to hasten the day when we do it.

Congress should act quickly.

We must act now.

This is an important undertaking, and we believe that the risks of inaction vastly exceed any risks associated with this action.

This is something we have to do.

We have to act, act quickly, act with dispatch, and put the national interest first.

The time is now to act.
