"We, as a nation, face two huge challenges. They are: our dependence on foreign oil; and the urgency of addressing climate change.

"Today, they are the greatest threats to our national security, our economy, our way of life, and our place as the greatest nation on earth. And, they are threats, that if not addressed now, that will have serious consequences for decades to come.

"We have to tackle these key threats with a national unity and purpose not seen since World War II. We must seek energy independence with a sense of utmost necessity, and for our economic security it is essential that we take the lead in addressing climate change. Both issues are so interconnected that they must be incorporated into one all encompassing national strategic energy plan.

"I know I can provide the bold and visionary leadership we need in Congress. I know that working together, united in purpose, and taking action now; Americans CAN and Americans WILL prevail and make a difference for generations to come.

"I’m ready to lead! And, I’m ready to take action! I’m ready to Get America Back on Track!"
