Blanche Lincoln

Improving our national intelligence capabilities should remain a top priority and a continual process.

Whether it's making sure that families have access to quality health care and child care, or making sure that our children receive the best educational opportunities we can give them, we must remain committed to these needs because our children are our future.

A common misconception is that the costs of health care are cheaper in rural America, when in fact the reality is that they are more expensive and more difficult to access.

Voters must have faith in the electoral process for our democracy to succeed.

Unless we make education a priority, an entire generation of Americans could miss out on the American dream.

It's not my job to dream your dreams. It's my job to make your dreams become a reality.

My heart has been heavy and I have deliberated within my own conscience, knowing that my decision should not come out of my initial emotion of anger toward the President for such reckless behavior, but should be based on the facts.

I believe that the fight against crime starts in the home. Parents must take responsibility for their children and show them love and guidance from an early age so they learn to respect the rights of others.
