The continued failure of the Federal Government to fix the broken immigration system will leave the door open to a patchwork of actions at the State and local level.

We celebrate our commitment to the rule of law and to upholding the fundamental principles enshrined in our founding documents.

I welcome the introduction of this strong bipartisan legislation to control the flood of special interest money into America's elections.

I call upon all Americans to take control of their health and wellness by making physical activity, fitness, and sports participation an important part of their daily lives.

We need your passion and your patience, your skill and experience, your determination to reach every single child.

I hereby proclaim May 2 through May 8, 2010, as National Charter Schools Week.

Americans of every age, background, and ability can weave activity into their daily habits to improve their mental and physical wellbeing.

The theme of this year's Law Day, 'Law in the 21st Century: Enduring Traditions and Emerging Challenges,' reminds us to draw upon and adapt our time-honored legal traditions to meet the demands of a global era.

Our Nation has adhered to the rule of law as the foundation for a safe, free, and just society.

In the 21st century, a world class education is our best avenue to prosperity.

The depth of experience these individuals bring in economic and monetary policy, financial regulation, and consumer protection will make them tremendous assets at the Fed.

We can no longer wait to fix our broken immigration system.

During National Charter Schools Week, we recommit to supporting innovation in teaching and learning at high quality charter schools.

Our Nation's future depends on the education we provide to our sons and daughters.

Our greatest contribution is what we do for the next generation.

Dr. Dorothy Height deserves a place in this pantheon.

Our future depends on how we raise and prepare the next generation, and America's epidemic of childhood obesity requires our immediate attention.

She understood that the movement gathered strength from the bottom up.

I encourage all Americans to reflect upon and renew our commitment to our legal traditions.

Passing the legislation is a critical step in restoring our Government to its rightful owners, the American people.

I have been attacked by immigration-rights groups for being too tough on that front, but, obviously, we have still got to do more.

What I think is a mistake is when we start having local law enforcement officials empowered to stop people on the suspicion that they may be undocumented workers, because that carries a great amount of risk that core values we all care…

I've been attacked by immigration rights groups for being too tough on that front but obviously we still got to do more. We have to do more, though, in the context of a comprehensive plan that maintains our status as a nation of laws and a…

Well, what I think it's a mistake is when we start having local law enforcement officials empowered to stop people on the suspicion that they may be undocumented workers because that carries a great amount of risk that core values that we…

I just want people to be able to not go bankrupt and lose their house when they get sick.
