Barack Obama

We urge the government to make good on its promises to govern for all of its citizens.

I call upon health care professionals, volunteers, educators, government agencies, faith-based and community groups, and private organizations to join forces to boost the number of organ and tissue donors throughout our Nation.

More than anything, we remember Cesar Chavez for lending voice to the voiceless.

I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate service, community, and education programs to honor Cesar Chavez's enduring legacy.

As we embrace our loved ones and give thanks for our blessings, we wish all who celebrate with us a blessed Easter.

There is a path for them to come back to the international community.

As President, my top priority is to make sure we are doing everything we can to reignite the true engine of our economic growth, and that is a rising, thriving middle class.

Our history shows that there is no economic engine more powerful than a thriving middle class.

All Americans deserve the chance to turn their hard work into a decent living for their families and a bright future for their children.

When no one seemed to care about the invisible farm workers who picked our Nation's food, a courageous man dedicated to dignity stood up and spoke out.

His legacy lives on in those who remember his central teaching: that when workers are treated fairly and humanely, our country grows more just.

If we invest more in infrastructure, we'll be more competitive.

That is why we must build ladders of opportunity for everyone willing to climb them.

The path to peace for the North Koreans is pretty clear.

My main message is: Let's get this done.

This is our best chance in more than a decade to take commonsense steps that will save lives. I haven't forgotten those kids. Shame on us if we have forgotten them.

As Commander of U.S. Air Forces in Europe and the Commander of NATO's Allied Air Command, General Breedlove has established trust and deep relations with our NATO allies and partners.

The people of Northern Ireland and their leaders have traveled a great distance over the past 15 years.

Shame on us if we've forgotten.

I salute the people and leaders of Northern Ireland and the model they have given to others struggling toward peace and reconciliation around the world.

At every step of the way, the United States will be there as a friend and partner.

Step by step, they have traded bullets for ballots, destruction and division for dialogue and institutions.

There are still those few who prefer to look backward rather than forward, who prefer to inspire hate rather than hope.

All of them have had to deal with some extraordinary challenges.

Every citizen and every political party needs to work together in service of true and lasting peace and prosperity.
