We've Been Blessed With The Opportunity To Stand For Something - For Liberty And Freedom And Fairness. And These Are Things Worth Fighting For, Worth Devoting Our Lives To.

If We've Learned Any Lessons During The Past Few Decades, Perhaps The Most Important Is That Preservation Of Our Environment Is Not A Partisan Challenge; It's Common Sense.
