andquot;I look forward to working with Sen. Obama when he ascends to the Presidency to address the concerns of hard-working Americans. Together, we will bring access to health care to all citizens, stabilize our economy, and invest in a stronger, more secure America for the future.

andquot;Over the course of the primary contests, we have witnessed unprecedented voter registration and turnout. People who have never voted before have made their voices heard. The American people are calling for a new direction for our great Nation, and I have faith that come November, the voters will send Sen. Obama to the White House.
