The free trade agreement with Panama will increase U.S. access to one of the fastest-growing economies in Central America and support a key democratic partner.

Expanding markets is good for American workers and helps keep businesses growing.

Precipitous withdrawal from Iraq would not bring peace to the region or make our people safer here at home.

I do hereby proclaim May 22, 2008, as National Maritime Day.

The day will come when Cubans freely receive information from many sources.

Life in Cuba will not fundamentally change until the Cuban government does.

I call for the release of all political prisoners being held in Cuba.

America refuses to be deceived, and so do the Cuban people.

The world is watching the Cuban regime.

The United States stands with the brave Cubans who are struggling make their nation democratic, prosperous, and just.

Americans sent us to Washington to achieve results and be good stewards of their hard-earned taxpayer dollars.

This bill lacks program reform and fiscal discipline.

Real change requires political freedom.

We have hope because we see a day coming when Cubans will have the freedom of which they have dreamed for centuries.

Today, after nearly a half-century of repression, Cuba still suffers under the personal despotism of Fidel and Raul Castro.

The Cuban people deserve better--and the American people stand with them as they work to achieve it.

Precipitous withdrawal from Iraq would embolden our enemies and confirm their belief that America will not stand behind its commitments.

Our strategy in Iraq is working to bring greater security and allowing for political progress.

The Government ought to be helping creditworthy people stay in their homes.

I'm impressed by the progress that's taking place, the security progress.

True democracy requires the establishment of civic institutions that ensure an election's legitimacy and hold leaders accountable.

I call on all nations to release their prisoners of conscience, open up their political debate, and trust their people to chart their future.

Freedom is the basis for a democratic system of government, which is the only fair and just ordering of society and the only way to guarantee the God-given rights of all people.

I believe that the Palestinian people will build a thriving democracy in which entrepreneurs pursue their dreams, and families own their homes in lively communities.

They're smart, capable people who represent the Iraqi people with a lot of dignity.
