Securing our borders, workplaces, infrastructure, and public spaces must be our highest priority. And along with securing where we live and work, we need to join our peers in offering a single-payer option for health and dental care that will help secure the health of our citizens. 

Long waiting lists for Massachusetts' premier vocational schools send a message.

Ill-conceived tax policy and profligate spending have put the US economy on an unsustainable path. We will not be the "country of possibilities" if excessive debt and regulation strangle innovation. 

This nonpartisan write-in campaign appreciates the goodwill of supporters but does not accept financial contributions.

We will clean up our act or our children will pay for our poor choices. Persuasion must now give way to mandates that reduce pollution and increase biodiversity. 

We must learn from our recent failure to deter large-scale military aggression in Europe or risk a return to another age.

Chaos, enabled by congressional inaction, must end. Our historic ability to attract top talent is one of our greatest strengths.

Generally agree with the judicial philosophy of former U.S. Supreme Court associate justice Stephen Breyer.

When actions belie the rhetoric of our leaders, government loses the respect of its citizens, allies, and enemies. When we say we will defend another nation against an illegal military conquest, then we must act or lose all credibility. Enemies of civilization and dignity must be contained.

Half of the members spend more time engaged in partisan puffery than working to strengthen our country. It's time to prune the dead wood.

Criminalization of basic human rights is unacceptable.

The possibility that our children will have a quality of life less than our own is disheartening. Robbing from the future to gratify our generation is wrong.

The people living between the river and the sea think the land belongs to them - and it does. They can spend eternity killing each other over past transgressions or they can reconcile and build a stronger unified state.

Past generations sacrificed to make the progress of our country possible. Future generations should recognize this connection. 

We will regret not investing more to mitigate these global existential challenges.

Independent critical journalism is essential, and should be encouraged and defended by the state.
