Paul Tsongas

"Journey with me to a true commitment to our environment. Journey with me to the serenity of leaving to our children a planet in equilibrium."

"From a viable economy to the full funding of Headstart, from a clean environment to true equality for women, from a strong military to a commitment to racial brotherhood, from schools that are honored to streets free of excessive violence."

"Seven and half years ago I began my own journey. For me and my family it was a time of adversity. But during that adversity I derived a deeper faith. And born out of that adversity was a commitment to devote myself to those people and to those issues that truly matter to me."

"Two hundred years ago, our Founding Fathers gave us a democracy. It was based upon the simple, yet noble, idea that government derives its validity from the consent of the governed."

"I want to deploy the leadership to meet the challenges that face us and to restore America's greatness."
