We all leave personal legacies for the people we know and love.

Education exposes young people to a broader world, a world full of opportunity and hope.

We can leave our legacy only if we are willing to change - to go beyond partisan labels, and to solve the problems facing Washingtonians.

There is just no reason why the richest nation in the world can't provide health care to all its people.

The scale of this disaster is simply overwhelming, ... The people of Washington state have a generous spirit, and we will do all that we can, individually and collectively, to support the victims of the hurricane.

It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.
