We have a positive vision of the future founded on the belief that the gap between the promise and reality of America can one day be finally closed. We believe that.

• Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment.
• Do not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power.
• For all of its uncertainty, we cannot flee the future.
• More is required of public officials than slogans and handshakes and press releases. More is required. We must hold ourselves strictly accountable. We must provide the people with a vision of the future.
• We have a positive vision of the future founded on the belief that the gap between the promise and reality of America can one day be finally closed. We believe that.
• A government is invigorated when each of us is willing to participate in shaping the future of this nation.
• We are a people in a quandary about the present. We are a people in search of our future. We are a people in search of a national community.
• We are a party of innovation. We do not reject our traditions, but we are willing to adapt to changing circumstances, when change we must. We are willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future.
• We must not become the new puritans and reject our society. We must address and master the future together. It can be done if we restore the belief that we share a sense of national community, that we share a common national endeavor. It can be done.
• What the people want is very simple - they want an America as good as its promise.
