"It's a simple idea: We need to live within our means while at the same time investing in our future."

"History teaches us that our nations are stronger and our cause is more just when we appropriately recognize painful pasts and work to rebuild bridges of understanding toward a better tomorrow."

"We need to invest in clean, renewable energy."

"It's a chance to give thanks for our blessings and reaffirm our faith, while spending time with the people we love."
