The only way the Internet will continue to remain the thriving medium it has become today is to keep it under the control of the United States.

The United States invented the Internet and it has been our gift to the world, paid for by our taxpayers. The U.N.'s desire to take that gift as a means of increasing its power must be stopped.

It is time, as a matter of pride, as well as a matter of national security, for the United States of America to lead the world in the energy revolution, and not lag behind Japan or Germany

I saw how different life was on different sides of the same city. I saw the fear in the eyes of people who were not free. I saw the gratitude of people toward the United States for all that we had done. I felt goosebumps as I got off a military train and heard the Army band strike up "Stars and Stripes Forever."

Everybody pursues their national interests. The only one who gets blamed for it is the United States.

The United States wants a manageable status quo. It doesn't want to see things out of control.
