There is no reason not to support energy exploration in ANWR.

In order for America to remain a global leader in innovation and opportunity, we must give our children a solid foundation in math and science.

We must become more energy independent. The development of ANWR will assist in this goal.

I wish the Peace Corps and its volunteers continued success and perseverance. We are grateful for their contributions to society and dedication to providing assistance where it is needed. May the Peace Corps continue its legacy of service, both at home and abroad.

I grew up in a rural area, I was from kind of a poor family and my parents weren't showbiz people. But going back was strange, and perhaps stranger for the other students.

As the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, I see on a daily basis the impact of politics and policy on my family, neighbors, friends, and residents.

I remember once I had lunch with George W Bush, his father, and Condoleezza Rice. Then I went home to find my dog and my neighbour's dog fighting over a dead rabbit, and I had to separate them. I like that my home life keeps things real.

It was just the DNA of my family. Giving back didn't feel like an entitlement; it was an obligation.
