"We're standing on the edge of a potential golden age for
America. Advances in technology, science, engineering, and
medicine hold the promise of benefits our parents couldn't
even dream of. If we make the right choices now, America
will enjoy a level of prosperity, safety, and freedom
unknown to previous generations. But if we make the wrong
choices, we will suffer the very serious consequences of a
set of challenges we choose to ignore. . . . We the people
can force real change and can secure the kind of future
America and our children and grandchildren deserve."
