On Energy & Oil: Commit to achieve energy independence within 10 years

Democrats will energize America by declaring energy independence, and we will begin by rolling back the billions of dollars of tax cuts for oil and energy companies in America. We will then proceed on our energy independence agenda. Democrats will energize America. America’s farmers will fuel America’s independence of energy -- on foreign oil. And we intend to achieve energy independence within 10 years. That’s is our commitment. Source: Annual 2006 Take Back America Conference Jun 14, 2006

On Government Reform: Convert Congress from auction house to arena of ideas

We will achieve [Congressional reforms] with civility, with honesty, and with fiscal responsibility, because on the very first day, we will pass our reform package, “Honest Leadership, Open Government,” to make the most corrupt, closed Congress in history the most honest and open Congress in history. We will pass our civility package, which will again turn Congress into an arena of ideas instead of an auction house where legislation goes to the highest bidder.

On Principles & Values: Dems must continue to be known as champion of working people

As Democrats, we must convince the American people that we know them, we work for them every day, we understand their hopes, their dreams, the aspirations they have for their children, and the challenges that they face. That’s why it’s absolutely urgent that we win the election, that we take the country in a new direction for every one of those people -- for working families in America. Let us then go forth as a Democratic Party that is known as the champion of working people in our country. Source: Annual 2006 Take Back America Conference Jun 14, 2006
