I do hereby proclaim Memorial Day, May 28, 2012, as a day of prayer for permanent peace.
Nothing is more important than ordinary people standing up: standing up for our values, standing up for what America is all about.
We don't want our economy dependent on something that happens on the other side of the world.
We've come too far to abandon the change that we fought for over these past few years.
We're not going back to the days when insurance companies had unchecked power to cancel your policies.
Every day they don't act, business grows more concerned that they will not be renewed.
We came together to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class.
Mitt Romney may have some business experience, but it's not the kind of experience you would need as president.
Your circumstances shouldn't be determined by the circumstances of your birth.
That's what we're fighting for. That's why I'm running for President.
We've come too far to abandon the changes that we've fought for, for the last few years.
We have come too far to abandon the change that we fought for over these past years.
