Americans Quotes
-
A new space race has begun, and most Americans are not even aware of it. This race is not about political prestige or military power. This new race involves the whole human species in a contest against time. All of the people of the Earth are in a desperate race against disaster... To save the Earth we must look beyond it, to interplanetary space. To present the collapse of civilization and the end of the world as we know it, we must understand that our planet does not exist in isolation.

The only purpose in requesting it was to demand the release of the Americans that they’ve detained, given the sensitivity of that subject, I don’t want to go beyond what I said, that I requested the meeting, and I did have a discussion with them, and that’s as much as I can say on it.

We have to substantially reduce the size and scope of the federal government, fundamentally increase the role of the states in choosing their own practices, and bring decision-making closer to the people, not to unelected administrators. These steps are crucial to getting our nation on a path of fiscal, political and constitutional responsibility.
