In the time one is given, the steward must make the most of the talents one is given by the Lord.

Our children are our most cherished possession. In their early years, we must make sure they get a healthy start in life. They must receive the right food for a healthy body, the right education for a bright and inquiring mind - and the equal opportunity for a meaningful job.

We must weed out corruption and build a strong system of justice that the people can trust.

We have the hardest working people in the world, the most adaptable and the most congenial to employ.

We must promote solid traits such as work ethics, a dignified lifestyle, matching actions to rhetoric, performance rather than grandstanding.

Now I ask you to make your sacrifice. Take a gamble. I took the plunge and I'm glad of it.
