It is time we Georgians did not depend only on others, it is time we asked what Georgia will do for the world.

And one of the things I've tried to do in my first months in office is to give more Georgians - reporters and members of the general public alike - a closer look at how their government works.

I make it a point to go home every weekend so I can meet with Georgians and hear from them directly.

With these kinds of proposals, the devil is in the details. We're going to examine this realignment closely. We will fight any measure that compromises our needs - now or in the future.

We must create the Georgia that our ancestors dreamed of, the Georgia that we dream of.

I am committed to making Georgia a model for open and honest government.

Georgian England was very radical; there were all these new revolutionary ideas, and I think women had more freedom than they did later on.

First and foremost - our vision for a united and peaceful Georgia is based on respect for the desire - and respect for the right - to South Ossetian autonomy.

Now, the entire world community recognizes Georgia. We are members of the United Nations and the Council of Europe. Everything is being prepared so that we will soon enter the European Union.

I see a bright future for Florida and for America, and my campaign will be about the ideas and principles that will help us achieve a more perfect union.
