A New Time, a New Vision
"These are times like no
other in American history.
The changes that we face
dominate our everyday
life. We don't have the
luxury to more left or right;
we must move forward;
and we must work hard,
together, to restore the
American Dream for all
Americans. That is my
vision for America. That is
what I work on every day."
- President Bill Clinton
March 1995
