We have defined our challenge. We must now meet it head on. And we won't let the special interests stand in our way. |
We live in a land like no other - a land of freedom and opportunity unparalleled on the face of the globe. |
We must ensure our system of higher education offers world-class quality for a world-class economy. |
We put all our passion and our focus on coffee, even to the point of doing fresh roast (on site). |
We stand strong together - as Americans - many cultures, races and faiths, but one nation under God. |
We will never forget the passengers of Flight 93, who courageously confronted the terrorists, defeating another planned attack on America. They are the heroes for our times. |
What happened on September 11 compels us to focus on who we are as Americans, what we stand for, what really matters in our lives - family, friends, faith and freedom. |
What we don't talk about enough is Ohio's unique and remarkable quality of life. We are a state of cities, small towns and growing suburbs where life is affordable and destinations within reach. There is no better place to raise a family. |
Whether we knew many who died on September 11 or personally knew none, we all lost something on that day. Innocence. Security. A trust that our homeland would always be safe. |
Yet in this global economy, no jobs are safe. High-speed Internet connections and low-cost, skilled labor overseas are an explosive combination. |
