Senator Justin Boyd Campaigns for Senator Lilldige in Albuquerque, New Mexico at University of New Mexico What a campiagn this has been . I remeber when I first endrosed Senator Lilldige. The Majorty Leader and the Chairman of the party all had endorsed Senator Clark. Now I didn't fully understand why, Senator Clark is a good man, but he doesn't repersent us in teh south, he doesnt understand what we need or what the issue we care about. But Senator Lilldige did I listened to him speak one day and about bring us into a New Century. This man has what it takes to lead us, and not just us in teh South but every where.

February Day 1 Campaign Rally 1 at the World Trade Center Site New York, New York (also did a fundraiser here) Topic: Terrorism/Military Strength Target: D/I/R
It is great to be in New York! Today I come to speak to you about terrorism, something this city knows about all too well. The fight against terrorism and the security of our nation must be the number one priority of the President. We must do all we can to protect our way of life, our liberties and our citizens.
It is the duty of the President, and it will be my priority and a daily task of mine to do all that I can to protect the American people. In order to do this task we need a commander-in-chief that is prepared and has the leadership to do just that. President Bush has still failed to implement the 9/11 commissioin recommendations. I can promise you that as President, I will work tirelessly to implement those recommendations! You deserve nothing less!
Our troops are exhausted. We have rotated them in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan so much that their readiness has plummeted. I have introduced a bill in the Senate that would add two fully equipped divisions to the US Army. I will continue to work to support our brave troops as they fight terrorism abroad.
Today we have been in Iraq for 4 years. We have been provided no exit strategy by our current Commander-in-Chief. It will be a priority of mine on the first day of office to order the Pentagon to put together a plan to begin the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. I will do this in conjunction with an order to the Secretary of State to develop a plan to move the political process in Iraq forward. The American people are tired of this ongoing war and I hear you loud and clear but we must withdraw from Iraq in a responsible way. We must be sure that we can protect the troops that will be the last to pull out.
Together we can regain our respect internationally. Together we can equip our military. Together we can fight terrorism. Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day 1 Campaign Rally 2 Rochester, New York Topic: Environment Target: D/I
I come to you today to speak about a very important issue - our environment. The Republicans would have us believe that Global Warming is a figment of our imaginations. Scientist from around the world may disagree to the causes but they all agree that our planet is getting warmer.
I have long been outspoken for environmental issues but with the Republicans controlling the White House and the House of Representatives, little has been done. Global warming is a serious issue. It is time for the America to lead the way in the area of renewable energy. I will be an advocate for research and development programs that will lower our dependency on oil, capturing carbon dioxide from coal-burning power plants and creating "green" jobs.
If elected, I will propose tax incentives that encourage energy companies to retrofit coal-burning power plants with carbon dioxide capturing technology. I will also propose tax incentives for businesses that engage in research and development in the areas of solar, wind and other forms of renewable energy. Together we can change the atmosphere in Washington. Together we can put the environment first. Together we can lower our dependence on foreign oil. Together we can secure America’s future.
For the everyday citizen of the great country I propose tax incentives for homeowners to make their houses more energy efficient and for those who purchase automobiles that use dual fuel, electric or other renewable energy sources.
Together we can build an America into a beacon of clean energy that illuminates the way for the rest of the World. Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day 1 Campaign Rally 3 Syracuse, New York at Syracuse University Topic: Education Target: D/I/R
A great education is the gateway to success, it is the gateway to opportunity and accessibility. Every child should have the opportunity to receive a world class education, and the ability to attend college if they wish to like you here today at Syracuse. We must properly educate our children so that they can compete in this global economy and lead our country down a path of innovation and new technology for the future. A future that is bright for you. I will work to improve standards within our public schools and decrease the number of students in each class. I will demand accountability and improvement as well as provide additional funding to make our schools better for every child no matter what race, social standing or climate that they live.
This is one of America's great universities. My hope for America is that every child who wishes to attend a great university will have that opportunity. I propose to increase the tax credits that parents can take to offset the high rising cost of tuition. We live in the richest country and money should not be the road block that keeps a young person from attending college.
Together we can build a bright future for America! Together we can have the best educational system in the world! Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day 1 Campaign Rally 4 Buffalo, New York (also did a fundraiser here) Topic: Fair Trade Target: D/I
One of the largest reasons that American jobs are being exported left, right, and center is because we haven’t been thinking about American workers when we sign trade deals – we’ve been putting profits ahead of people, and that’s not responsible government. I've said again and again that what America needs is fair trade. Fair trade means signing trade agreements that work for America. It means that when our trade negotiators sit down to hammer out a treaty, they have one thing in mind: our national interest. When we sign trade deals, I don't want to bring ideology into the picture -- we should be thinking about things like jobs, and wages right here at home. What will be best for the American people, and American workers -- that's my trade policy. That's fair trade.
But fair trade alone won’t solve our outsourcing problem. We also need aggressive re-training programs for workers displaced by trade. I will put forth legislation that provides local governments the resources needed to guarantee that Americans whose jobs have been outsourced can go back to school to get training that will lead to new and better jobs. Buffalo knows better than anyone that what we need more than anything right now is decent jobs for hard-working Americans.
Together we can build a strong American economy! Together we can create a fair trade policy that protects the American worker! Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day 1 Campaign Rally 5 Yonkers, New York Topic: Global Warming Target: D/I
We've seen alot of amazing and horrifying things in the past one hundred years. We've seen the first atomic bombs used on people and the fall of the Berlin Wall. We've seen genocide in Europe and Africa. But there isn't anything that scares me more than seeing a chunk of Antarctica fall off into the ocean and start flooding across the globe. Global warming is the biggest threat to our nation since Communism.
To fight global warming it is going to take tax incentives to create a green infrastructure, its going to mean laying down the law with corporations who pollute our air and water, it's going to mean a fundamental change in our beliefs in Washington and it's going to take a new mindset for the American people. Our children depend on us to set an example for how the world is supposed to work and I don't think they'd like it if we destroy the only planet we've got before they're old enough to enjoy it.
The fiasco that is the Bush administration has presided over is inexcusable. Our country has to begin setting out and laying plans that are going to help slow down and stop global warming, but we can't do that without the right kind of leader. Pretty soon, New York is going to have a primary to decide who the Democratic nominee will be. You're going to have a tough decision to make, but if you care about what kind of world we leave to our children...you'll vote for someone who's been speaking out against global warming for a long time, you'll vote for someone who has the capability to change our course and get things back on track, you'll vote for someone with a realistic plan to begin the march to a greener economy. You'll vote for Lance Lillidge.
Together we can build the infrastructure needed. Together we can lead the world to fight global warming! Together we can build a greener tomorrow! Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day 1 Campaign Rally 6 Newark, NJ Topic: Foreign Policy Target: D/I
Let's take a look at the world today. North Korea is run by a dictator and may have nuclear weapons. Darfur is run by a government that is decidedly anti-American and has little to no regard for human rights and liberty as evidenced by the continuing genocide. Afghanistan is still a bastion of terrorism and a safe-haven for radical Islamics.
Why are these hot spots still a concern to national security? I'll tell you why -- the failed policies of the Bush administration have cost us our strength and influence abroad!
We need a foreign policy that recognizes that America can't drop bombs on a country and then say "mission accomplished." When we go into a country, we have to make sure that we go in as a last resort after having exhausted all diplomatic channels. If we ever have to send our military into harms way, it's absolutely essential that we go into action with a clear mission, a clear strategy and a clear way out. We haven't gotten the job done in Iraq or in Afghanistan, and we can't afford four more years of unfinished missions around the world.
I have stood -- I have always stood -- for a foreign policy of strength, but also of multilateralism. I've stood for moral clarity and human rights, and I've stood for confronting tyrants around the world. We cannot allow America's strength to fade as it has been; it's time for us to renew our strength abroad, renew our leadership abroad, and create a New American Century!
February Day 1 Campaign Rally 7 Jersey City, NJ Topic: Crime Target: D/I
America needs a leader that will tackle crime head on. This Republican Administration has put the home-front on the back burner for too long. Crime is increasing, jobs are decreasing and Americans are concerned.
My strategy not only will fight crime, but the roots and causes of crime as well. My crime strategy won't just put people behind bars, it will provide rehabilitation for the addicted, opportunity for the poor and end the alienation of our youth. We can take real steps and measures to fight crime with a strategy that works. We look at the plan in Washington and we see no measures being taken on crime - the status-quo is not the answer, real action for our citizens is the answer. I will act for all citizens and stand tall to fight crime. We need to increase neighborhood patrols, we need to rehabilitate drug users do that the prison door doesn't become a revolving door, we need to build more prisons to guarantee that the criminal will do their time.
Many American cities have strong solutions to their crime problem-let's work with work with our regional and civic governments to implement the strategies that work for your communities. We can accomplish things together and America will be stronger. Under my leadership we will achieve a dream of cracking down on crime to protect your safety.
Together we can build a safer America. Together we can build a more compassionate America. Together we can build the New American Century!
February Day 1 Campaign Rally 8 Patterson, NJ Topic: Taxes Target: D/I
It’s a sad day in American history when you, the every day citizen, pays more than your fair share out of your pocket in taxes at the end of the day than ever before. It’s important that you, the people who work hard and strive everyday to move our economy forward, keep more of your money so that you can save for a rainy day or improve your lifestyle today…and you surely cannot do those things with the taxes you pay. That's why I'm opposed to cutting taxes for the top earners in our country and that's why I'm for cutting taxes for the average American.
I believe that our country is in desperate straights right now, folks. We've got the richest one percent of the population owning more and more of the wealth in this country...and they're not giving anything near enough back to the society that benefits them so much. We've got people living in some of the biggest and richest cities in this nation...but they're holding down two jobs and struggling to make their house payments! America has got to change. Your government is supposed to be working for your interests, not against them...but the Bush White House and his Republican cronies in Congress have been hitting the average American more and more while they let their corporate friends get off the hook.
We can't have someone in the White House who's going to cut taxes for the rich and stand by and let everyone else foot the bill. You've got to go to the polls and show the rest of the country that you're not going to stand for the injustice of the Bush presidency. Lets get out there and make America whole again!
Together we can rebuild America's middle class! Together we can bolster our families! Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day 1 Campaign Rally 9 Edison, NJ (Thomas Edison Museum) Topic: Made in America! Target: D/I
It is great to be in Edison today. We are standing at a place where a great American inventor changed American lives. His inventions were about dreaming big and seeing those dreams become reality. His visions were "Made in America."
I remember when the term, "Made in America" meant something special; back before our jobs began heading oversees. Too many of our children are going to wake up in ten years and realize that there aren't any places to work that will really excite them...that will really stimulate them...all those jobs will be in India or China. Our country is experiencing a big loss of well paying jobs This has to stop. America needs a revitalization of its technology and industry sectors; we need to work together to make sure that these jobs and businesses are going to stay here where they'll do the most good. America has to stop shipping its jobs overseas.
We have to start thinking about the future and what kind of work our children will be able to get. We have to start today to change the course we're on and it has to begin with choosing the right candidate for President. Folks, I am that candidate. I want to keep our high tech jobs here, in America. I'm also proposing that we provide grants to our universities to create degree programs specializing in gree technology.
Lets choose the right candidate and lets make "Made in America" mean something again!
Together we can rebuild the American Dream! Together we can secure our childrens future! Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day 10 Campaign Rally 7 Chicago, IL Topic: Healthcare Target: D/I
Despite medical abundance, healthcare is too often meager because of the irrationality of the present health care system. Over 47 million Americans have no health insurance whatsoever, including 33% of Hispanics, 21% of African-Americans and Asians, and 11% of Whites. Many more - perhaps most of us - are underinsured. The world’s richest health care system is unable to assure such basics as prenatal care and immunizations, and we trail most of the developed world on such indicators as infant mortality and life expectancy. Even the well-insured may find care compromised when HMOs deny them expensive medications and therapies. For patients, fear of financial ruin often amplifies the misfortune of illness.
This is why, as President of the United States, I will push forward my plan, American Healthcare Choices. My plan would make health care affordable, unlike the current health system where insurance premiums send people into bankruptcy, the plan provides tax credits for working families to help them cover their costs. The tax credits will ensure that working families never have to pay more than a limited percentage of their income for health care. It provides you with choices. If you have a plan you like, you keep it. If you want to change plans or aren't currently covered, you can choose from dozens of the same plans available to members of Congress, or you can opt into a public plan option like Medicare.
This plan is good for small businesses. Small businesses are the engine of new job growth in the U.S. economy but face bigger challenges when it comes to providing health care for their employees. My plan would give tax credits to small businesses that provide health care to their workers to help defray their coverage costs. This will make small businesses more competitive and help create good jobs with health benefits that will stay here in the U.S.
Together we can build a health care program that benefits all Americans! Together we can build a more productive work force! Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day 11 Campaign Rally 7 Peoria, IL Topic: Leadership Target: D/I
We cannot lead the world when we don't have leadership at home. We need leadership to ensure every American has affordable and quality healthcare through the Libertycare program. We need, ladies and gentlemen, leadership to do what we all know must be done in order to give every child a world-class education, and the opportunity to achieve even greater heights at university and college. We must show the leadership to return the nation to our heyday of prosperity and strength through balanced budgets and a 10% tax break for the middle class.
We need that leadership at home if we are to be a strong country, and a proud country; ladies and gentlemen, we need that good guidance and governance now more than ever. I'm running for President because I envision a New American Century. I envision a time of leadership, strength, and prosperity, and I know that time is now. Please join me and together let's build that New American Century!
February Day 1 Campaign Rally 12 Aurora, IL Topic: Middle Class Target: D/I
The Bush Administration talks about how it's cutting taxes for all Americans. But the fact of the matter is that President Bush has returned to us the era of voodoo economics. Two thirds of the Bush Administration's tax cuts have gone to the top 10% of America's wealthy. We've seen the harm that this irresponsible shift in the tax burden onto the middle class has had. We've seen inflation consistently outpacing growth. We've seen negative, or neutral, economic expansion. Our economy has been stagnant -- it's time for a change, it's time for middle class tax relief!
We've seen what happens when the middle class are relieved of the tax burden. We saw it from 1992 to 2000, when the United States experienced the longest sustained economic growth in its history. We had more new jobs than ever before, we had lower inflation and interest rates, and we had greater economic growth. It's time to return America back to that golden age, and it starts with a 10% tax break for middle class Americans!
Together we can build a strong middle class! Together we can make the tax system a fair system! Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day1 Campaign Rally 13 Rockford, IL Topic: Homeland Security Target: D/I
America's been through trying times in recent years. We've faced terrorist attacks on our soil and we've faced a warabroad. We saw what happens when we do too little to prevent terrorists from striking America. We saw it in New York. We know they are not going to go away. We saw it in London, our closest ally, when terrorists managed to set bombs in the subway. For the past four years, we haven't done nearly enough -- not nearly enough -- to secure the homeland.
For years, the unimplemented recommendations of the 9/11 Commission sat on President Bush's desk. He won't implement them. We still have ports that are unsecure, we still have borders that are unsecure and we still have rail services that are unsecure. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to elect a President who will secure America! It's time to elect a President who will implement those recommendations! I will be that President!
Together we can build a secure America! Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day1 Campaign Rally 14 Joliet, IL Topic: Job Security Target: D/I
Promoting effective and efficient methods of job training and placement for displaced workers will be a top priority of my administration. That is why I will create the No Worker Left Behind program.
This program not only will ensure funds for displaced workers, or workers in dead end jobs, but it focuses on the high tech fields where we need workers. And working with the industries here in Illinois and across America, we will ensure that these workers know which fields are in need of workers so that they can have a job when they leave the program.
This program will be used to train thousands of displaced workers, to help them find new and better jobs. We need to combat the job loss of this Republican Administration and this will work. This is a common sense solution to a real world problem.
Together we can create new jobs! Together we can educate workers in needed fields! Together we can buil a New American Century!
February Day1 Campaign Rally 15 Boston, MA Topic: Healthcare Target: D/I

February Day1 Campaign Rally 16 Los Angeles, CA Topic: Getting Results Target: D/I/R
It is great to be in my home state of California! I have been delievering results to the citizens of California for more than a decade! We need someone who is going to deliever results to the American people.
If we can fianlly rise above the partisan bickering we have seen in Washington the past four years, maybe we can finally get something done for the people here in America. The biggest problem with the Bush Presidency has been this 'my way or the highway' attitude on all of his policies. Our plans for this nation aren't set in stone. There are certain principles that we intend to protect, but we are open to compromise on issues that face America today as long as the focus of the compromise is the betterment of the American people. The difference however between our campaign and the current White House is clear. They have not shown that they have a plan to bring America into the future, to strengthen our economy and secure our homeland. We have a plan.
Our plan isn't a Democratic plan, Independent plan or a Republican plan. It is an American plan. I truly believe that when we work together, there is nothing that this nation can't accomplish. I believe that if our politicians would get together and focus on what is important to the American people instead of what's important to the party, then we can move America forward. That's what a Lillidge administration will be about: results, not photo ops.
Together we can build a strong America! Together we can build a results based America! Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day1 Campaign Rally 17 San Diego, CA Topic: Healthcare Target: D/I
For the past few decades, we have heard politicians promise new reforms to fix our health care system. But its been nothing but empty promises. Right now there are 48 million Americans without health care and many more are underinsured. Ladies and gentlemen, if we can spend a trillion dollars a day in Iraq then we can have health care for every American!
Politicians have been talking for years about how to solve the health care crisis in our country, but besides getting a good sound byte in every now and then they have done nothing. People are uninsured because they cant afford to pay for Health Insurance. They are uninsured because they cant put food on the table and pay for the coverage they need.
As President, I will put forth a program that insures every American! My American Choices Plan will give you the ability to stick with the health care that you currently have or choose one of the plans that is offered to members of Congress. If you can't afford the premiums, I will offer tax credits so that every American is insured!
Together we can build a healthier America! Together we can build a country where the citizens don't have to make a decision between health care and putting food on the table! Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day1 Campaign Rally 18 San Francisco, CA (Port of San Francisco) Topic: Port Security/Homeland Security Target: D/I/R
I have spent considerable time in the last couple of years examining our ports, especially those on the West Coast, which I know best. The Port of Los Angeles which is really three separate ports, is made up of the ports of San Pedro, Long Beach and Los Angeles. This is an enormous, enormous area. At least thirty percent of the nation’s sea borne trade comes through the Port of Los Angeles. The Port of Seattle is a dynamic port which has been experimenting to a great extent with how to bring about continuing inspection of container scanning. Today we are standing at the Port of San Francisco. This port has been called one of the three great natural harbors in the world and is in close proximity to the Port of Oakland.
I have personally been through each of those ports to see what was being done regarding Port Security. There is still a great many problems, but I must say people operating these ports, including those who are really the working people of the ports have gone out of their way to make certain that our ports are safe and secure and that the containers are in fact scanned. Unfortunately, there are not enough port security employees and scanning equipment to scan every container entering the United States.
I am proposing a pilot program as soon possible to have one hundred percent of the containers on the West Coast scanned. We will begin that pilot program right here in San Francisco. During this pilot the information gathered will help us understand what type of committment will be needed in order to implement the idea of scanning 100% of all cargo entering a West Coast Port. We will be looking at staffing needs, how much scanning equipment will be needed for the amount of traffic in our ports and most importantly how much safer this will make our country.
This is in keeping with my promise to implement the 9/11 Commission's recommendations to secure America.
Together we can build a safer America! Together we can buid a New American Century!
February Day1 Campaign Rally 19 San Jose, CA Topic: Agriculture Target: D/I
California is the largest food producing state in America. In spite of this, year after year, more family farms are put out of business. More and more decent, hard-working Americans are losing farms that have been passed down from generation to generation. We do what we can by helping them compete with improved technologies, and financial assistance when times get tough. But it's gotten to the point where farmers can't even rely on this anymore -- President Bush's budget slashed money for farmers across the country, and California is already feeling it. I would not have submitted that budget and I can guarantee that I am against gutting assistance to all farmers!
Economic times may dictate that we can't rely on financial assistance forever. That is why we must also need to find new markets for farmers abroad and right here at home. The market at home is the production of ethanol. Ethanol could bring billions of dollars into the state -- that translates into tens of thousands of jobs. Ethanol is already working for Iowa, and it could work for California in the future.
I say it's time we make an investment in that future. We need to put an ethanol pump at every gas station in the country by 2020. We need to make sure that consumers have the choice to buy ethanol, and that farmers can tap in to the vast, untapped ethanol market. We must also negotiate with countries abroad to lower tariffs on food products shipped from the United States. We need to fight for a fair playing field. These two initiatives will bring prosperity back to the American farmer.
Together we can strengthen the American farmer! Together we can create fair markets overseas! Together we can create a cleaner environment! Together we can build a New American Century!
February Day1 Campaign Rally 20 Atlanta, GA Topic: A New American Century! Target: D/I/R
From time to time time a nation must reflect upon its position in the course of history and this world. America's a position is one of great power, but also of great responsibility. Just under a century ago, American troops set foot on European soil to defeat an enemy intent on imposing an imperial regime upon the free people of Europe.
Only twenty four years later, the United States once again answered the call to arms in the defense of freedom, and we fought a bloody struggle to put an end to tyranny in Japan and Germany. In the place of oppression, democracy flourished, and grew. From the sacrifice of our fathers and grandfathers grew the promise of liberty for people across the world, and without the United States, many of those people would still be under the thumb of tyrants to this day.
This promise, however, could not overcome the destruction of the Second World War for some. A new empire rose in its place, this one a communist threat to our way of life. Intent on the destruction of democracy and the fundamental rights we all enjoy, the Soviet Union attempted to stamp out the fire of liberty. But, through our leadership, the Free World rallied, and the last great outpost of tyranny collapsed.
The 20th century was a violent century, but it was also a great century, and it was our century -- it was a century which saw the defeat of tyrants and the rise of liberty around the world. It saw the final progression of history from oppression to democracy. But today, democracy is not secure. It is threatened by terrorists who would seek to impose their own brand of radical ideologies upon all of us. It's threatened by the growing power of extremism in all corners of the globe. It's threatened by a resurgent movement towards oligarchy and oppression. Democracy, my friends, is in peril.
It is going to take a leader with courage, vision, and an understanding of the problem to lead America. I am that candidate. It is time to build a New American Century. Let's do it together.
