My top three priorities for my first term in Congress are growing our economy providing for quality affordable health care and keeping our nation and communities safe.
In turn more physicians hospitals and other health care providers are severely limiting their practices moving to other states or simply not providing care.
In the past week it has become clear that the vote on the final healthcare bill will be very close. I take this vote with the utmost seriousness. I am quite aware of the historic fight that has lasted the better part of the last century to bring America in line with other modern democracies in providing single payer health care.
These are the same people who believe in some cases the federal government should not play any role in providing health care to our people or protecting the environment.
When elected officials abandon our environment and ruin our natural resources public health is endangered. I know the importance of providing a clean environment for our children I have attended more than one funeral for a child who has died from an asthma attack.
Most of the State of the Union will not be about Iraq. Most of the State of the Union will be about improving America's economy and providing greater access to health care for millions of American people including senior citizens.

I'm thinking of a legacy that I can be proud of and wealth that my grandchildren can use to go to college. So world domination - in terms of providing for my family - is absolutely my goal.
Historically the family has played the primary role in educating children for life with the school providing supplemental scaffolding to the family.
Do not fear lest you should meditate too much upon Him and speak of Him in an unworthy way providing you are led by faith. Do not fear lest you should entertain false opinions of Him so long as they are in conformity with the notion of the infinitely perfect Being.
I have said it on several occasions several times from this podium that providing a quality education for our children is high on my priority list. I will not stop now.
States have the responsibility to create rules and conditions for growth and development and to channel the benefits to all citizens by providing education and making people able to participate in the economies and in decision-making.
Such schemes take money from people who can least afford to spend it to support an unneeded bureaucracy that eats money people thought they were providing for education.
