“One: American jobs that will stay in America, using energy independence to generate those jobs. Two: a strong national defense based on telling the truth to our citizens, our soldiers and our allies. Three: Honesty and integrity to be restored to government. Four: A health care system that works for everybody just like they have in 36 other countries. Five: a strong public education system so we can bring optimism and opportunity back in America.”

– Howard Dean, Chairman, Democratic National Committee, Jan. 26, 2006
