I have heard the critics. What they are spewing are lies, nothing more. My defense policy calls for an efficient and strong military for our country.

Defense hawks like Senator Nunn need to understand this.

In 1960 Americans chose John F. Kennedy because they were ready for change. They were ready for new and better ideas. After six years of scandals and failed policies under the Reagan Administration, Americans are again ready for change and stronger leadership. I love my country. That is why I am seeking the Democratic nomination for president.

dream mobility nightmare
For too many, the dream of economic mobility has been replaced with a nightmare of economic stagnation.
