John Kerry

We are working, under the leadership of former Senator George Mitchell, to end the impasse between Israelis and Palestinians.

I believe that Congress ought to get back into the business of writing authorizing legislation.

I called for a universal, affordable, accessible broadband infrastructure.

Improving energy efficiency is not just an option; it is a necessity for our economy and our environment.

Energy independence has remained an elusive goal for the United States, as critical as it is, and as much as the American people want us to achieve it.

I believe women's rights are inextricably linked to the broader issues of security and economic development.

I look forward to hearing what our distinguished panelists have to say about this, the current situation for women and girls specifically.

I returned home hopeful that our men and women in uniform will succeed and confident of their capability of successfully completing this critical mission.

This is not the time to impose governance on Haiti--that is a 19th century idea unfit for the 21st century.

I think we need a constitutional amendment to make it clear once and for all that corporations do not have the same free speech rights as individuals.

I think it is time for everyone who wants a Government that works for people to stop tinkering around the edges of a system that is broken beyond repair.

This decision allows corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections.

If there's an active effort not to just leave it all to the NGO or to the outside contractor, or to whatever entity, but to bring the Haitians into the process and rebuild sufficiently, you create wealth, you create confidence, you begin…

The best chance for Haiti... is to take this moment and create the kind of joint, internationally cooperative rebuilding effort that provides a sustainable Haiti.

These are steps we can take right now to help Haiti rebuild and recover, and in my mind, they represent the beginning, not the end of our efforts.

I still agree--you are right--there is not--we need--this task is so massive that we--you know, we need the international A-team on this case, working with the Haitian people.

Our legislation will help to spur economic activity, which is an absolutely essential element in the recovery process, by promoting trade between the United States and Haiti.

I believe it is incumbent upon the Obama administration to bring our allies together to establish security and a sense of order in Haiti.

Haitian immigrants have, quite the contrary, proved to be exceptionally hard-working, family-oriented, law-abiding contributors to our society.

I don't see how you get this done with any semblance of normality, in terms of the approach.

They may need our help today, but they must be empowered to build their own future down the road.

There's been a tremendous outpouring of generosity from Americans and from the international community.

Haiti's recovery must belong to the Haitian people.

I want to commend Dr. Shah, Secretary Clinton, and countless other Americans inside government and out who have made an impressive, even remarkable effort that all of us can be proud of.

We need to help Haiti to rebuild in a way that leaves Haiti better off and better prepared were any future natural disaster to strike.
