I think there's going to be a tug of war in this country over who are the real patriots because at a time of national crisis, economic collapse and calamity, ecological peril and social dislocation, the American people deserve to be a partner to the American government.

To green our country, regular people will have to put on hard hats and work boots, roll up their sleeves - and get to work.

That we could live in a country with no rules for the rich, no rights for the poor, and no middle class to speak of, is wrong; it's a crime against the next generation and we've got to do something about it.

We just want government to be a smart, supportive, reliable partner to the forces that are working for good in this country.

We should use the transition to a better energy strategy as an opportunity to create a better economy and a better country all around.
