Welcome!

Welcome to my campaign's home page! I appreciate your interest in my candidacy and our country.

I am running for President because -- as a two-term governor of our nation's fourth-largest state and as a leader in the United States Senate -- I am convinced that our country is headed in the wrong direction. In just a little over two years under George W. Bush, more than 2 million of our fellow Americans have lost their jobs, the stock market has lost nearly one-quarter of its value, and our federal budget has plunged from record surpluses to the deepest deficits in history.

In foreign policy, the War on Terrorism has lost direction, the alliances that came together after 9/11 are in a shambles, and our world is less -- not more -- secure.

I want to get America back on track. So that I can look into the faces of my four children and 10 grandchildren and tell them that I did everything I could to make the country a safer, more just, and more prosperous place for them. I want to expand health care, improve public schools, and make sure our seniors have the quality of life they deserve in retirement.

Please join me. This site offers opportunities for you to volunteer, make a contribution, even invite me to do a Workday in your hometown. Together, let's get to work for America's future!
